Are there any precautions I can take to prevent mosquito bites?

While you are on your African safari you can prevent insect bites as follows:

• Cover your arms and legs as the evening approaches.
• Use light-colored clothing to cover exposed skin areas - especially around the ankles.
• Wear long-sleeved shirts, long trousers, socks, and closed shoes.
• Apply insect repellent to exposed skin areas every 4-6 hours.
