Africa has a number of diseases that have been eradicated, or do not occur, in the developed world – diseases such as polio, cholera, typhoid and yellow fever are still prevalent in some African countries and you should be wary. Malaria is certainly a threat, while bilharzia, and African sleeping sickness are uncommon. Both Ebola and the Zika Virus appear to be under control, but the latest Covid-19 pandemic is a cause of concern until a viable vaccine can be found.

Whilst the list of diseases is long, the risk to you as a safari goer should not be over-stated. Please read the recommendations offered below, and be sure to consult your local doctor or health professional before you leave home.
