Health

There are no compulsory vaccination requirements for persons entering South Africa although a certificate for yellow fever may be required if you are entering from certain South American or sub-Saharan African countries. Only the northeastern border parts of the country have been designated as malaria risk areas. If you intend travelling to one of these areas, it is essential that you take prophylaxis before arrival and whilst in the area. Protective clothing and insect repellents should also be used.

South African doctors and dentists are highly trained professionals and hospitals are well equipped. Participants are requested to make their own arrangements with respect to health insurance prior to departure and consult their local general practitioner for personal travel advice. 

Tap water is safe to drink in South Africa and bottled water is readily available as another option. Smoking, except in designated areas, is prohibited by law in most public buildings in South Africa (airports, shopping centres, restaurants etc.).

There are currently no Covid-19 restrictions applicable for entry into South Africa.
