What kind of vaccinations are needed to travel around South Africa? What to wear for a safari?

Responds Vyacheslav Oreshkov
Vaccinations for a trip to South Africa do not need to be done, unless you plan to visit the north of the Kruger park, on the border with Mozambique.

On safari it is necessary to dress comfortable not discreet (not bright colors) clothes and footwear. In the case of foot safari, shoes are better closed, such as a sneaker.

For a trip to South Africa, vaccinations are not needed. If South Africa travels to Zambia, and then returns to South Africa, then a yellow fever vaccine is needed.

In South Africa, some areas fall under the malarial zone. If you are going on a safari to Kruger Park, it is recommended to take preventive measures against malaria, but here it is better to consult a doctor.

On the safari wear clothes of calm camouflage colors, usually on a safari it's cold, a warm jacket is recommended, as well as a hat and gloves. Shoes any, since the traveler sits in the car and does not go anywhere during a safari. The main thing that was warm. Do not forget the camera and binoculars!

Have a successful safari!

For a trip through South Africa, a vaccine against yellow fever is not needed. For safari, jeans, sneakers, a T-shirt and a jacket are best for you in case it's cool.
