Embarking on an African safari is a bucket-list dream for many in Staffordshire. Whether you are heading to the plains of the Serengeti or the delta of the Okavango, the landscapes and wildlife are breathtaking. however, these regions also present specific health risks that require professional preparation. At Staffordshire Travel Care, we specialise in getting you "safari-ready" with expert advice and vaccinations available right in Stoke-on-Trent and Stafford.

Yellow Fever: More Than Just a Health Risk

Yellow Fever is a serious viral infection spread by mosquitoes. In many African countries, proof of vaccination is a legal requirement for entry. If you are travelling from a country with a risk of Yellow Fever transmission, you will need an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP).

At our designated clinics—including Abbey Hulton and Stoke in the Potteries, and Holmcroft or Weeping Cross in Stafford—we can administer the vaccine and provide the official certification you need to clear immigration without a hitch.

Malaria Prevention

Malaria is prevalent in many safari destinations. Because there is currently no widely available vaccine for travellers, prevention relies on "chemoprophylaxis" (malaria tablets) and bite avoidance.

The Right Medication

Not all malaria tablets work in all regions. Our pharmacists will check the specific resistance patterns of your destination to prescribe the most effective tablet for you.

Bite Avoidance

We provide professional-grade DEET repellents and advice on "mosquito-proofing" your safari gear.
