Malaria & Vaccinations

Visit your doctor before making a trip to Namibia for information on malaria and recommended vaccinations. Waterberg Plateau Park is in a low-risk malaria area, but care needs to be taken during the Wet season (November to April) when the risk of transmission is greatest. Antimalarial medication is advisable, as is mosquito repellent (those containing DEET are most effective) and covering up in the evening.
