The Diseases to be Careful of

Zambia is prone to Malaria infection, so you should take precautions before entering the country. Malaria is an infectious disease spread by mosquitos that affect people and other animals. Malaria is characterized by symptoms such as fever, exhaustion, vomiting, and headaches. It can cause jaundice, seizures, coma, or death in severe situations. The parasite is transmitted to humans via infected mosquito bites. Malaria patients typically experience a high temperature and shivering chills. This is especially important if you are coming from a country with fewer malaria cases.

You will be safer carrying a mosquito net or repellants to help keep a large number of mosquitos at bay. You should also carry some malaria drugs with you in case you become infected. You will be required to present a Yellow Fever vaccine certificate upon arrival to demonstrate that you have taken precautions against the disease that you may contract while in the country.
