Malaria Prevention
Zimbabwe's low-lying safari areas, including the Zambezi Valley, Hwange and Lake Kariba, are malaria areas. See your doctor or a travel clinic about antimalarial medication well before you travel.
Avoid bites as well: use insect repellent, wear long sleeves and trousers from dusk, and sleep under a net or in a screened room.
Recommended Vaccinations
Visit a travel clinic at least six weeks before your safari, make sure your routine vaccinations are up to date, and ask which travel vaccinations they recommend for Zimbabwe and any other country on your route.

Travel and Medical Evacuation Insurance
Hunting areas are remote, so take out travel insurance that covers hunting, plus medical evacuation cover from a specialist provider such as Global Rescue or Ripcord.
Safety in Camp and in the Field
Your professional hunter is responsible for safety in the field. Follow their instructions at all times, stay behind them on a stalk, and never walk around camp alone after dark.
