Hi
I have been told by someone at work (a South African) that I only really need Malaria tablets for the Victoria Falls add on, which is high risk. They have said that it is better to get the tables when 1 get there.
Has anyone done this holiday, and if so, has anyone got the tables when they got there?.
If I got them in SA, then I would be taking them roughly 2 weeks before Zambia.
thanks :dodgy:
Hi Mandy
That doesn't sound like very good advice to me. When I did this tour the advice was to take Malaria tablets for Kruger. I don't recall needing them for Zambia but that may have changed.
As for getting them there, do you really want to waste your time searching for a pharmacy? There's much better things to do in SA!!
I went to the pharmacist in Asda and he was really helpful, not only sorting out the correct tablets to take but advising re insect repellent as well. The price was very reasonable and much less than getting a doctor's prescription.
I know other shops also have a similar service.
Enjoy your holiday South Africa is great.
