Question: Do I need to take any medical precautions?
Answer: It may be required that you have a vaccination before traveling to a certain country.  We will let you know whether this applies to you when we book your trip.
You should be aware that Malaria is present in many parts of Africa.  If you will be visiting an area affected by Malaria, we will advise you of this fact.  It is a good idea to consult your doctor to prescribe a prophylactics and be advised of health precautions before traveling to Africa. Usually, you will need to start taking this medication one week before traveling to these areas.
Question: If I need to renew a medical prescription, may I do this while I’m away from home in Africa?
Answer: An African pharmacy may not be able to provide your prescription medication.  You should make sure you have enough of your medication to last the duration of your trip.  You will want to makes copies of your prescriptions to bring along with you.  You may be asked to produce the copies of your prescriptions at the port of entry to countries visited.

Question: Will I need travel insurance?
Answer: It is a good idea to purchase trip cancellation and curtailment insurance when you book your reservation. You may need to obtain insurance in case of a medical emergency during a Safari.  Your insurance broker and/or travel agent will be able to advise you on this topic.

Question: While on Safari, am I in danger of being attacked by wild animals?
Answer: Typically, you will view the animals while on safari in an open 4x4 vehicle.  You will view herds of elephant, buffalo, lion, rhino, leopard along with many other animals. Theses wild animals are used to the vehicle and will normally ignore the vehicle. You will be traveling with an experienced and armed ranger who will have your safety as his/her highest concern. Of course, you should remain in the vehicle at all times.  You should not stand up in the vehicle.  
When on a foot safari, encounters with carnivores or more dangerous species can occur. Definitely do not turn and run. Your ranger is armed and will use force if necessary to protect you.
