Basics

Major cities have good private hospitals; bush camps have first aid and evacuation plans. Carry copies of prescriptions and insurance hotline numbers.

  • Wildlife: No walking between rooms at night in unfenced camps without an escort; keep limbs inside vehicles near cats.
  • Cities: Use hotel transport or trusted apps; keep valuables discreet.
  • Sun & heat: Dehydration sneaks up on morning drives—drink water steadily.

Travelling with specific concerns?

We can flag camps with strong medical protocols or shorter drive legs.
