Should I be worried about Malaria in Kruger Park?

Kruger Park is a malaria risk zone. You should be aware of the risk but it should not stop you from coming to Kruger and enjoying your African safari. There are over a million visitors to Kruger Park and only a few cases of malaria reported.

Malaria high risk is during the wet season between October and May, with the months February to May being the peak risk period. We recommend that you consult your GP for the correct prophylactic to prevent malaria.

A course of anti-malarial medication will need to be taken at least a week before traveling - so be sure to consult your GP well before you travel.
