Health & Safety
General Health Precautions
Vaccinations:
South Africa: No mandatory vaccinations for entry from most countries. However, it’s advisable to be up to date on routine vaccines (tetanus, hepatitis A & B).
Zimbabwe: Similar recommendations apply. Some regions of Zimbabwe may recommend yellow fever vaccination if you’re arriving from a yellow fever area. Check with your local travel clinic.
Malaria:
South Africa (Northern Cape): The Northern Cape is a low-risk malaria area — malaria precautions are generally not necessary.
Zimbabwe: Some regions, depending on where you hunt, may be malaria risk areas. Consult your doctor about preventative medication if you’re traveling to higher-risk zones.
Water and Food Safety:
Drink only bottled or filtered water where advised.
Our camps provide clean, safe drinking water and high-quality, hygienic meals.

Only load your rifle when instructed by your guide.
Keep muzzles pointed in a safe direction at all times.
