Enjoy the wonder of the African wild without worry
When you go on safari in Africa, your health should be the least of your concerns. For total peace of mind, a safari where you don’t have to worry about malaria is a great option. Malaria is common in some areas of Africa, and even though you can prevent it with medicine, it can still be a worry for travellers, especially those with families.
Luckily, many great places in Africa offer safaris that are completely malaria-free. You’ll still see amazing animals and plants, just like in other parts of Africa. You don’t have to miss out on a great safari just to protect your health.
