Lesotho: A passport is required, but no visa for U.S. citizens is needed for visits of 30 days or less. Vaccination for yellow fever is a common requirement and travelers should carry their international vaccination cards with them.

 

Malawi: A passport, return ticket, and adequate funds are required. U.S. citizens traveling to Malawi for tourism, transit or business for 30 days or less can obtain a visa at the airports or border points of entry. The 30-day visa may be extended up to an additional 60 days by the Malawi Department of Immigration prior to expiration. There is no guarantee your request will be granted.

 

Mozambique: A visa is required for entry into Mozambique.  It is recommended that travelers acquire the appropriate visa prior to departing for Mozambique, although a one-entry visa can be obtained at country points of entry, including airports. he passports of all travelers who wish to enter Mozambique must be valid for six months upon arrival and must contain at least three clean (unstamped) visa pages each time entry is sought.

 

Namibia: A passport and visa are normally required.  Bearers of U.S. passports who plan to visit Namibia for tourism for less than 90 days can obtain visas at the port of entry and do not need visas prior to entering the country. 

 

South Africa: The passports of all travellers to South Africa must contain at least two blank (unstamped) visa pages each time entry is sought; these pages are in addition to the endorsement/amendment pages at the back of the passport. Visitors to South Africa for tourism, short business meetings, or those in transit do not require visas for stays of up to 90 days.

Swaziland: A passport is required.  Visas are not required for tourists and business travelers arriving in Swaziland for short visits (less than 60 days) on standard U.S. passports.   Most travelers visiting Swaziland enter through South Africa.  PLEASE NOTE:   All travelers traveling to South Africa are strongly encouraged to have several unstamped visa pages left in their passports.

 

Tanzania: A passport and visa are required for travel to Tanzania.  U.S. citizens with valid passports may obtain a visa either before arriving in Tanzania or at any port of entry staffed by immigration officials.  The current fee for a visa has recently risen to $100 for a 12-month multiple-entry tourist visa to reciprocate the fee the United States charges visa applicants. 

 

Uganda: A passport valid for three months beyond the date of entry, visa and evidence of yellow fever vaccination are required.  Visas are available at Entebbe Airport upon arrival or may be obtained from the Embassy of the Republic of Uganda.  The current fee for a three month tourist visa obtained upon arrival at Entebbe Airport is $50.00.
