Safety

In our opinion, Manyeleti is very safe to visit. In fact, all parks and reserves in South Africa are virtually crime-free. There is some crime in towns and cities, so normal precautions should be taken when visiting urban centers during your trip (see ‘Cities & Other Urban Areas: Safety Precautions’ below). The vast majority of visitors don’t have any incidents on their South African holiday.

Malaria & Vaccinations

Manyeleti is located in the part of South Africa where there is a slight risk of malaria. The risk is negligible in the colder months, but in the summer’s Wet season, from October to April, it is wise to protect yourself. This can be done by taking antimalarials and wearing mosquito repellent (those containing DEET are recommended). Several vaccinations are required before travel to South Africa – consult your health professional.

Wildlife Viewing

Wildlife viewing can be considered very safe as long as you listen to your guide’s instructions. Please also read the ‘Wildlife Viewing Safety Precautions’ below.
