Traveller's Guide

Most areas frequented are recognized Malaria belts. Travellers are requested to consult their physicians before embarking on the trip to make sure they take the necessary prophylatics for sufficient time before embarking to ensure their protection. Sufficient prophylactics for the duration of the tour should be brought with you. We suggest that you bring insect repellents that you are familiar with.
