Most of these areas are catagorised as low risk, but it is still recommended that you contact your GP and take a reliable prophylactic to combat Malaria when visiting these areas, especially between October and May.
It is recommended that you make sure that you are up to date with the following, Tetanus, Hepatitis A and Typhoid. While none of these are compulsory for entry into South Africa they remain a personal choice.
