fiogf49gjkf0d IF YOU ARE VISITING THE KAFUE NATIONAL PARK BY CAR, YOUR
ROUTE MAY TAKE YOU THROUGH A TSETSE-FLY ZONE SO IT WOULD BE
ADVISABLE TO PUT A CAN OF INSECTICIDE SPRAY IN YOUR CAR. THIS
WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR THE SOUTHERN LUANGWA VALLEY
NATIONAL PARK.
EXCEPT FOR SPRAYS, THERE ARE FEW SPECIAL HEALTH PRECAUTIONS
NEEDED IN ZAMBIA. VISITORS TO THE WILDLIFE PARKS AND THE RURAL
AREAS, ESPECIALLY DURING THE RAINY MONTHS, ARE ADVISED TO
TAKE AN ANTI-MALARIA PROPHYLACTIC A WEEK PRIOR TO THE VISITS
OR AS PRESCRIBED BY THEIR PHYSICIAN.
SWIMMING SHOULD BE CONFINED TO SWIMMING POOLS OR THE LAKE-
SHORE RESORTS WHERE WATER IS KNOWN TO BE SAFE. LARGE BODIES
OF STILL WATER MAY HARBOUR BILHARZIA AND IT MUST NEVER BE
FORGOTTEN THAT ALL THE RIVERS OFTEN CONTAIN CROCODILES.
THERE IS NO RECIPROCAL HEALTH AGREEMENT WITH THE UK. HEALTH
SERVICE IS NOT FREE AND HEALTH INSURANCE IS ADVISABLE. ADEQUATE
HEALTH CARE CANNOT BE ASSURED OUTSIDE MAIN TOWNS. IT IS ADVISABLE
TO CARRY BASIC MEDICAL SUPPLIES AS THEY ARE LIMITED IN ZAMBIA.
