Malaria-Free Safaris in South Africa
Fully inclusive lodges, self-drive safaris and day visitor programmes
For those who want to enjoy a safari, but who don't want to take malaria tablets, especially if they are travelling with young children, the 3 major malaria-free safari areas in South Africa are the Eastern Cape, the North West Province (including the Pilanesberg National Park and the Madikwe Game Reserve), and the Waterberg.
Visitors should note that the Greater Kruger Park is a malarial area, and KwaZulu-Natal is also considered a low-risk malaria area.
the eastern cape
The Big 5 private game reserves and lodges of the Eastern Cape are ideal for people who wish to combine the ever-popular Cape Town and Garden Route with an unforgettable safari experience.
The reserves are all privately owned, and range in size from 5,000 hectares to over 25,000 hectares. Shamwari is the longest established of the private reserves here, and also one of the largest, along with the Kwandwe Private Game Reserve. Smaller reserves include the 9,000 hectare Kariega Game Reserve, the 7,200 hectare Amakhala Game Reserve, and the 6,500 Pumba Private Game Reserve.
Certain reserves such as Pumba and Amakhala also offer day visitor programmes, which are ideal for anyone staying in nearby Port Elizabeth who still want a safari experience, but who have limited time or budget.
The famous Addo Elephant National Park is perfect for anyone who wants the thrill of driving through a National Park in their own car in search of the elephants and other wildlife that can be found here.
north west province and the waterberg
Conveniently situated for Johannesburg, the game reserves in these areas are an ideal place to start or end a trip to South Africa for visitors travelling through Jo'burg Airport.
The 76,000 hectare Madikwe Game Reserve is one of South Africa's largest game reserves, and home to the Big 5 as well over 60 other wildlife species and 300 bird species.
You can choose to go on either a self-drive or a guided game drive in Pilanesberg, or for something really different, float over the reserve in a hot-air balloon.
The Waterberg covers more than 150,000 hectares of bush, and the lodges here offer a variety of activities, including game drives and horse-back safaris.
