My personal advice to travellers
If you click on this link, you will find a long list
of things to do or to bring to Kenya.

Think about passive prevention! Trust in my experience –
I have never had malaria or travellers’ diarrhoea!

How do you effectively protect against malaria
or trypanosomiasis?

Personally, I favour passive prevention and I do not take medication to Kenya
or Tanzania because all nature reserves are on a plateau at an altitude of 1200 m
to 3000 m, but note that you must take passive prevention seriously, otherwise
you are in danger! See below.

There are very few flies and mosquitoes on the Kenyan plateaus and in northern
Tanzania, so I take the following precautions:

These rules apply between 5.30pm and 8am.
During this time the mosquitoes are virulents. Outside of these hours
, remember to put on a T-shirt and shorts.

Rules for passive prevention:
between 5.30pm and 8am

- I wear long sleeved shirts and long trousers
- I spray the tent or room with a "RAID" type spray that kills everything
- I spray a fabric repellent onto fabrics and my clothing
- in the pharmacy, ask for a product for tropical mosquitoes
- I spray my hands and the visible parts of my skin with a skin repellent.
Ask your pharmacist for a product for tropical mosquitoes.

For coastal areas, where the risks are higher due to the humidity combined with the
heat, it is in your best interests to follow this passive prevention but also to
follow your doctor's advice, as he will tell you to take anti-malaria drugs.

Above all, do not panic but be careful and take precautions, because a mosquito
that stings does not transmit disease if it is not itself infected!

Also beware of the tse-tse fly that stings during the day, it is very painful!
Wear light-coloured clothing (avoid blue as it attracts them), put
repellent on your clothing and any uncovered skin and your face.

Vaccination against yellow fever is strongly recommended, and anti-malaria
treatment is also recommended. Check with your GP, in case of contra- indications!

Travellers’ diarrhoea. Who has never had travellers’ diarrhoea? (me!)
Mild travellers’ diarrhoea is due to tiredness or stress as much as to
the change in food. Avoid tap water and uncooked food, or check if it
has been washed in boiled water. Bring an antidiarrhoeal like
ERCEFURYL and IMODIUM, disinfectant and antibiotics.

Above all be careful with water, ice cubes and raw vegetables,
as they are the source of intestinal problems.

Do not drink bottled water if the cap cracks on opening, or water that
has boiled for at least a few minutes (for ice and raw vegetables).
If you are going on an adventure trip, bring water purification
tablets such as MICROPUR so that you can drink the
water safely a few hours later.

Voila la bèbète qui pique et qui peut véhiculer une maladie mortelle !!
This is the mosquito, carrier of malaria

ETHYLEXANEDIOL ( EHD ) 30 to 40 % (also for children)
DIETHYLTOLUAMISE ( DEET ) 35 to 50%
DIMETHYLPHTALATE DMP 40%
N-butyl-N-acétyl-3-éthylaminoproprionate ( 35/50 ) 20%

Also bring "tropical" insect repellent (it is important to specify tropical
mosquitos). You can also buy repellent to put on your skin and another
type for the fabric of your clothing. Also bring sun protection lotion
(the sun is 8 times stronger than in northern Europe)
and to reduce possible burns, the miracle product
"Biafine" to be applied in a thick layer without rubbing in!
