South Africa offers established malaria-free safari options, including Madikwe Game Reserve and several reserves in the Eastern Cape, making them popular choices for families. Choose your reserve carefully and discuss your complete itinerary with a healthcare provider, because other destinations or extensions may require different precautions.
Answered by the Fair Trade Safaris team · Last reviewed
Madikwe and established safari reserves in the Eastern Cape are popular starting points when planning a malaria-free safari.
When comparing options, consider:
A malaria-free safari reserve does not mean every stop on your journey has the same health profile. Give your healthcare provider your complete route, including overnight stops and extensions, and continue using sensible protection against insect bites.
