Vaccinations

If this is where you will travel, you are advised to take precautions at any time of the year. Kaokoveld, the EtoshaNational Park, the OtaviMountains and the east including Bushmanland are areas of medium risk. Precautions are strongly recommended during the rainy season (November to April).
