Malaria is a disease you can encounter allover Africa. Repellents should be applied throughout the day and especially during sunset. Allways sleep under the protection of a moskito net. All hotels, camps and lodges are equiped with moskito nets.

We also strongly recommend to use a anti-malaria prophylaxis. Make always sure to take it as prescribed and do not forget to take it accordingly when you returned home. Please contact your doctor to get prophylaxis recommendations.

To enter Niger, Bénin and Burkina Faso it is absolutely necessary to have a vaccination against the yellow fever. Make sure the vaccination is documented. Contact your doctor to make sure other vaccinations are still active. Additional informations can also be gathered at your national ministry of foreign affairs or at the nearest institute for tropical medicine.

Make allways sure you drink enough water. As the sun in western africa is quite strong always be aware of the risk of dehydration.
