Ulusaba Private Game Reserve

• Although a malaria zoned area, the risk of malaria in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve is usually low, even in the summer months.
• The highest risk period is between November and April (summer rainy season).
• Most types of mosquito that are encountered will not carry the malaria parasite.
• Mosquitoes most often bite between dusk and dawn.
• The risk of malaria can be reduced by preventing mosquito bites by covering exposed skin with light clothing or insect repellents, ensuring netted screens are kept closed and burning anti-mosquito coils.
• Malaria prophylactic drugs can be taken that will further decrease the chances of contracting malaria.
