Formalities from the DRC

As the DRC is a member of the East African Community, its nationals benefit from easier entry. Formalities (including the electronic travel authorisation) change: we check the current conditions for you before departure.

Entry requirements, fees and processing times change regularly: always check the latest information on official websites. Wanderlust helps you prepare your file; the decision rests solely with the competent authorities.

Our advice

  • A yellow fever vaccination certificate may be required.
  • Choose neutral-coloured clothing for safaris.
  • Book Masai Mara lodges early during the migration.
