Certain countries may require proof of yellow fever vaccination if you are travelling from or transiting through risk areas.

Yes, many travellers to Kenya will require malaria prevention.

Malaria is present in many parts of Kenya, including popular safari regions and coastal areas.

Our clinic provides:

Malaria risk assessments

Prescription malaria tablets

Advice on mosquito bite prevention

The most appropriate medication depends on your itinerary and medical history.


Going on Safari in Kenya?

Kenya is one of Africa’s most popular safari destinations.

Travellers visiting:

Maasai Mara

Amboseli National Park

Tsavo National Park

Samburu National Reserve

should ensure they have appropriate travel health protection before departure.

Safari travellers often spend extended periods outdoors, increasing exposure to mosquito-borne diseases.

Duration of stay

Planned excursions

Accommodation type

Season of travel

A personalised travel consultation helps ensure appropriate protection.
