Malaria-free parks and game reserves

Parks and reserves in malaria-free areas, the usual choice for families with young children and for first safaris.

Every park here sits in an area recorded as malaria-free, so no prophylaxis is needed for the visit itself. Malaria risk can shift with the season and the year, so confirm current advice with a travel clinic before you go, especially with children or during pregnancy.
