Yellow Fever Vaccination

A Yellow Fever vaccination is a mandatory requirement for entry into many African countries if you are traveling from a country with a risk of Yellow Fever transmission. You will need to carry your Yellow Fever vaccination certificate with you. The cost of the vaccine can vary, so check with your local travel clinic. Our safari advisors can provide information on the requirements for your specific itinerary.

Malaria Prevention

Malaria is a risk in many safari destinations. Your doctor will likely recommend that you take anti-malarial medication. The cost of these medications can vary depending on the type and the duration of your trip. It is also important to take precautions to prevent mosquito bites, such as using insect repellent and sleeping under a mosquito net. For more on this topic, visit our destinations page.
