Malaria

Northern KwaZulu-Natal and southern Mozambique are considered a low-risk malaria area. The risk of malaria infection is much higher in the warm summer months as opposed to the cooler winter months and similarly the times around sunset and sunrise the higher risk times. We advise taking the necessary prophylactic anti-malaria precautions and consulting your doctor in the event of any strange flu-like symptons developing after your return home.

Medical and healthcare

Check with you Medical Aid or medical rescue plan if they fly into southern Mozambique (across the SA border) in the event of a medical emergency. The area has limited medical facilities and the closest hospital is at Kwangwanase in South Africa. It is recommended that an adquate First Aid kit is packed to handle basic medical requirements.
