Most tourist regions in South Africa have zero risk of malaria. In other countries, the risk depends on the region, length of stay and time of year (the hotter and rainier the higher the risk). Particular attention deserves Mozambique and Uganda. To a lesser extent Madagascar, Malawi and Zambia. In the most safari parks regions, Kenya and Tanzania are low risk, slightly higher in the coastal zone. Prophylactics may cause serious side effects and do not completely eliminate the risk of contracting the disease. Therefore, before making a decision whether or not taking prophylactics, consult us about the risk in the area you are traveling to, and consult your trusted doctor. Once contracted, if left untreated, malaria is a fatal disease. If properly prevented or diagnosed and treated in time, it poses no major health risks.
