You must consult your medical practitioner or a travel clinic before travelling to any destination on this tour to determine whether you’re required to get a yellow fever vaccination, and this must be done no less than 10 days prior to travel. If a vaccination was required, you must be able to produce a yellow fever certificate as proof of vaccination.
Similarly, you should consult your medical practitioner or a travel clinic on malaria precautions before you travel to South Africa. You should also ensure you pack an adequate amount of any medication you may need for your trip, as it will be difficult to obtain after arrival – this is something that applies to any malaria prophylaxis, prescriptions, chronic or preferred brand medication.
Ticks can also be found in Africa’s wilderness areas; to avoid getting bitten, you should wear long trousers, socks, and boots when going on bush walks
