All guests participating in a Shindzela safari must provide us with contacts details of a relative who we can contact in the event of an emergency.
Whilst we are not medical professionals, we can say that it is not necessary to have a host of vaccinations / shots for travel to South Africa. In most cases, tourists visiting the country will travel in first world conditions – South African accommodation, food and water is generally of a good standard. Taking sensible travel decisions makes it very unlikely that you will contract any illnesses whilst travelling inSouth Africa (read our notes on malaria) or encounter any medical problems during your travels. If you are volunteering and working in our very rural areas, then perhaps consult your travel clinic or doctor about shots.
Private hospitals are of a very high standard inSouth Africa, and most towns and cities have good pharmacies. If you do take any medication on a daily basis, please bring a supply with you.
If you are still unsure of health whilst travelling toSouth Africa, please contact your local doctor and / or Travel Clinic. More Information from www.traveldoctor.co.za
