Tap water is safe throughout the country but most visitors prefer to drink bottled mineral water, which is generally abundantly available. Please be warned that the African sun can be harsh and it is advisable to wear a hat and sun block at all times and to drink enough fluids regularly.
Although Malaria is prevalent in some parts of the country, many of the available species of animals for hunting in South Africa (Bontebok, Grey Reebuck, Waterbuck, Sable, Roan, Tsessebe, Oribi, Gemsbok, Giraffe, Black wildebeest, Springbok, Blesbuck, Red Hartebeest, Zebra, Steenbuck, Duiker, Blue Wildebeest, Eland, Kudu, Impala, Mountain Reedbuck, Common Reedbuck, Bushbuck, Warthog, etc.) can actually be hunted in Malaria free areas.
Upon finalization of your hunting package and itenerary you will be advised regarding the necessity of taking anti-malarial drugs. Please inform us if you have any underlying medical conditions which may necessitate special care in the case of an emergency.
Generally speaking, no special vaccinations or inoculations are required entering South Africa but we insist that you consult your Family Physician and the relevant information services of a Travel Health Clinic.
