Safety

South African parks and reserves (including Mokala National Park) are generally safe in our opinion. This is especially true on an organised tour. As everywhere in the world, there is some crime in South Africa’s urban areas, so normal safety precautions should be taken when visiting cities during your trip (see ‘Cities & Other Urban Areas: Safety Precautions’ below). The vast majority of visitors don’t experience any problems on their holiday.

Malaria-free & Vaccinations

Unless you are visiting other places in the country where malaria is a concern, there is no need for malaria medication, since Mokala National Park is located in a malaria-free area. Vaccinations are recommended, however. Consult your local doctor in plenty of time.

Wildlife Viewing

Wildlife viewing is very safe in Mokala. Always listen to your guide’s instructions and take note of the ‘Wildlife Viewing Safety Precautions’ below.
