If you're looking for a safari experience without the need for anti-malarial medication, South Africa is an excellent choice. Several of the country’s premier reserves lie in malaria-free zones—ideal for families, first-time safari-goers or anyone wanting peace of mind while travelling.
Top malaria-free areas include the Eastern, Western and Northern Cape, as well as the North West Province, home to renowned reserves like Madikwe and Pilanesberg. These regions not only offer exceptional wildlife viewing but are also well-connected to popular destinations such as Cape Town and the Garden Route, making it easy to create a seamless and varied itinerary.
For a truly unforgettable escape, you might wish to end your adventure with a beach stay in Mauritius or the Seychelles—great for unwinding after the thrill of a safari.
Our expert Travel Specialists are here to help you plan a tailor-made holiday that suits your interests and needs, completely stress-free.
