Vaccinations

Vaccinations are recommended; see websites below for more detailed immunization advice.

Malaria Risk

Most of the country is free of malaria and cases have been rare in recent years. However, there is always a slight risk of getting malaria, especially if you visit Eswatini in conjunction with South Africa where you might well visit a moderate-risk zone, which includes Kruger National Park and all other Lowveld reserves in Mpumalanga. KwaZulu-Natal parks in South Africa lie in a low-risk zone. The highest risk of transmission is in the rainy season, from October to May. See websites below for more detailed advice.
