I am going on the Safari tour next year, from reading on the boards I gather that most people have injections for this area of travel. I know it is a long way off, but can you tell me what you have had done, and how long before you go you have to have them ? as I know the brochure says on any of the holidays you dont have to have injections, so is it left to you to decide ? By the way I HATE INJECTIONS...

Hi, I'm going on the safari next March. I've read that you should have to have the yellow fever vaccine so I'm gonna have that. I'm not sure how far in advance you have to have this.

Yellow Fever needs to be taken at least 10 days before

Typhiod - 2 weeks before

Hepatitis A - no time linit

Malaria - Malarone 24 - 48 hours before and 7 days after.

Update on diptheria, tetanus and polio.
