Travel health for South Africa
Mediterranean around Cape Town, subtropical on the east coast, and cold at night on the highveld. Seasons are reversed relative to Europe.
Before you travel
Mediterranean around Cape Town, subtropical on the east coast, and cold at night on the highveld. Seasons are reversed relative to Europe.
During your flight
On long flights, prolonged sitting and dry cabin air are the two most common complaints. Compression socks, regular hydration and short walks along the aisle are the usual measures.
Mosquito protection
Insect precautions concentrate on the low-lying north-east, including the Kruger area, mainly in the warm wet months.
Sun & heat
UV is high across the country, and open safari vehicles mean hours of unbroken exposure at dawn and midday.
Food & water
Tap water is generally safe in cities and main tourist areas. Long game drives make hydration planning worthwhile.
First aid
A compact set covers the basics: minor wounds, blisters, disinfection and a thermometer. Add your own prescription medicines in their original packaging.
