Cape Town and the Cape Winelands are not malaria areas. Most of Greater Kruger, including the Sabi Sand, is a malaria area — consult your physician or medical advisor before departure. (Welgevonden Private Game Reserve is a notable non-malaria exception in the region, should an alternative reserve be preferred.)

Tipping your guide and tracker is customary but never obligatory. See our full gratuities guidance.
