Hi Dwugson,

There is conflicting information out there online. The rule is that the PCR test must be administered (swab in nose) <72 hours before you appear in front of the immigrations official on arrival in Maun for your safari. This is doable but will mean you need to be tested sometime after roughly 8am the day before you leave for Africa on a timeline like this. In this example, you fly Delta/KLM via Amsterdam and Airlink for JNB-MUB:

Day 1, 8am EST/3pm Maun. Get test any time AFTER this.
Day 2, Depart USA.
Day 3 Arrive Johannesburg at 10:05pm local time.
Day 4 Fly Airlink JNB-MUB arriving at 1:40pm local time. You have 1h20m to spare!

I am doing the above route in April when I go on safari. Katie Gomer, our Africa Product Manager, is going on her honeymoon in 2 weeks using this route.
