Routine vaccines like MMR, hepatitis A and B, and typhoid are often recommended. If you’re planning to visit Kruger National Park or other low-lying areas in Limpopo and Mpumalanga, malaria prophylaxis is advisable. Areas like Cape Town, Johannesburg, and the Garden Route are malaria-free. South Africa has excellent private healthcare, so consider travel insurance that covers medical treatment. It’s also wise to stay hydrated, practice safe food habits, and use insect repellent when necessary.
