You should take the following precautions when you go on safari:
- Bring a small first-aid kit that you can keep with you in case of cuts, scrapes, bites, or other such accidents.
- Drink only bottled water and avoid eating raw foods like seafood and meat.
- Swim only in places where swimming is allowed. Places like lakes, streams, waterfalls, and rivers are often contaminated with various diseases, so the government does not allow swimming in these places. Chlorinated areas are the only places where you are allowed to swim.
- Be attentive to your guides and feel free to ask questions regarding safety and security.
- Turn all your shoes upside down when you are not wearing them. This is because insects like spiders and scorpions can get inside them. It's a good idea to shake your footwear every morning before putting it on, too. If you go for a walk, wear tall boots to avoid being bitten by grass-dwelling insects.
- Avoid using strongly scented perfumes and soaps, since these attract insects.
These are some simple precautions that will help you stay safe and healthy on your safari adventure.
