  • Use a mosquito net: Sleeping under a net is particularly advisable in regions with a high risk of malaria.
  • Stay in screened or air-conditioned accommodation: This helps keep mosquitoes out of your living space.
  • Take antimalarial medication: We can advise you on the best antimalarial medication for your trip.
