Universal Travel Health

Travel consultation

Travel to Africa.
Prepare with confidence.

Destination-specific protection for safaris, family visits, business travel and multi-country itineraries across Africa.

Planning for Africa

One continent. Many different health risks.

Climate, disease patterns, entry rules and access to medical care vary widely across Africa. We look beyond the country name to your exact route, season, accommodation and activities.

Key considerations

01

Mosquito-borne illnesses such as malaria and yellow fever.

02

Food and water exposures that can cause typhoid, hepatitis A or travelers’ diarrhea.

03

Outdoor, safari and remote-area risks that benefit from additional preparation.

With timely vaccines, appropriate prescriptions and practical prevention strategies, many common travel illnesses can be reduced or avoided.

Vaccines & preparation

Recommended and required protection

Requirements can change. We confirm current guidance against your itinerary during consultation.

01

Yellow Fever

May be recommended for personal protection or required for entry depending on your destination and transit route.

02

Hepatitis A & Typhoid

Often considered for travelers because infection can spread through contaminated food or water.

03

Routine vaccines

Your consultation is a good time to confirm that routine protection such as tetanus, measles and polio is current.

04

Malaria prevention

Not a vaccine in routine Canadian use; we assess whether prescription medication and mosquito precautions are advised for your route.
