South Africa

Travel health in South Africa requires careful preparation. Ensure routine vaccinations like MMR and DTP are up-to-date. Hepatitis A and typhoid vaccines are recommended, especially for rural visits or eating street food. Malaria is a concern during certain seasons in some areas like Kruger National Park; take antimalarial medication and use insect repellent. Tap water is generally safe in urban areas, but opt for bottled water in rural regions. Practice good food hygiene to avoid gastrointestinal issues. Comprehensive travel insurance and consulting a healthcare provider before travel are essential.
