Essential Vaccinations for Your Safari

Embarking on an African safari is an exhilarating experience, but ensuring your health and safety is paramount. Before setting off, being up-to-date with the necessary vaccinations is crucial. Here's a guide to help you prepare:

1. Anti-Malarial Medication

Malaria is prevalent in many parts of Africa. We strongly recommend taking anti-malarial medication. For specific prescriptions and advice, visit Runway Health's Online Platform. This platform offers guidance on travel medications, including malaria pills.

2. Yellow Fever Vaccination

The Yellow Fever vaccine is required if you visit high-risk countries like Uganda, Kenya, and Ethiopia for more than 12 hours. Ensure you're vaccinated prior to arrival at your destination.
