| Some medical considerations should be taken into account when traveling to Southern Africa. Preventative measures against malaria and vaccinations especially when visiting Zimbabwe and Tanzania should be up to date. Medical precautions should be discussed with your personal physician.Malaria: If you are traveling to the north-eastern part of South Africa, Northern parts of KZN including the lowveld near the Kruger National Park as well as any destination in Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique or Zambia, it is prudent to consider and discuss anti-malaria prophylactics with your doctor. We strongly advise against children younger than six years to travel to any malaria area.Allergies: Dust and pollen may aggravate allergies you might have. Consult your doctor regarding precautions which can be taken in this regard. Remember that spring (September) is known as “allergy season”, due to the high occurrence of flowering plants. Remember to communicate any food allergies so that camp staff are duly prepared for your arrival.Prescription Medication:If you plan to arrive with prescription medication, we suggest that bring along your prescription as well as the original boxes/containers in which you received your medication.Medical Facilities:South Africa has world-class medical facilities. Our medical doctors are highly regarded world wide. Africa Savannah Safaris does not offer medical or travel insurance. Ensure that this is arranged prior to departure in you home country in the unlikely event of a medical emergency. |

The minimum calibre for Small and medium plains game should be 6.5mm. Other calibres worth considering, provided you are comfortable using it, are .300 W/M, 7mm RM (and others in the same class). In the case of dangerous game the minimum calibre allowed by legislation is .375 H&H. Bring ammunition loaded with heavy for calibre bullets. |
