Yellow Fever Vaccination no longer required for Zambia!

Posted by Johannes on Sat February 7, 2015.

Good news for all travellers to Zambia!

Following an announcement at the World Health Assembly in Geneva on Friday 30th January 2015, the SA Minister of Health, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, removed the requirement for proof of Yellow Fever vaccination for travellers between Zambia and South Africa, with effect 31 January 2015.
The decision by SA’s health department comes after the World Health Organisation confirmed that Zambia had low yellow fever potential exposure status, which means travellers should not be required to carry a yellow fever vaccination certificate.

It has been a great trip - Thanks!

We are heading on our journey home sadly.We all adored Moses and Lamik (Lamik was so knowledgeable and much better than the guide at the other lodges we had been. He shared so much with us and taught us lots about everything from the plants and birds to insects as well as the bigger animals. The girls really got a lot out of visiting the village.
