DO I NEED TO TAKE ANY SPECIAL MEDICAL PRECAUTIONS?

Zimbabwe has been identified as a country affected by Malaria. The good news is that it is preventable. So, if you are prepared, there is no reason why you should not have a healthy and happy trip to Victoria Falls.

You will need to take prescription medicine before, during, and after your trip to prevent Malaria.

It is recommended that you visit your doctor, pharmacist or travel clinic – ideally 2-6 weeks before travelling – and advise them that you are travelling to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe/Zambia. They can help you decide which medicine is right for you, and also talk to you about other steps you can take to prevent Malaria.

As Victoria Falls River Lodge has access to professional medical facilities within half an hour’s drive, no other special medical precaution is required, and guests need only bring their personal medical requirements.
