Vaccinations for Zimbabwe

3 weeks away from my Buffalo hunt in Dande South.

Just checking, I've had Hep A, Hep B, Tetanus, Typhoid and will be taking Malarone which I used in SA.

Any others I'm forgetting?

You have covered it quite well. I take along various prescription medicines for water born illnesses and bugs, Strong antibiotics as well as Oxycontin in case someone is stomped, bitten, chewed etc. Some of these meds are left behind for the PH's kit when I leave. Have a great hunt!

When you are but fifty feet from a beast that can stomp you into a mudpuddle or shred you into fajitas, rest assured he will have your UNDIVIDED attention!! www.aahsomeafricanadventures.com safariman416@hotmail.com

Gal,

Did you spray clothes with the pyrithin spray to kill bugs that land on clothes..Cream like ultrathom by 3M for bugs..How about powdered gatorade great to add to water will keep you quenched and able to go on...I did this ele hunting and I still had miles at the end of the day...

Have a great safari! Relish every moment, cause there is no vaccination against P.S.D.

Maybe things have changed, but I have been to Zim several times, and didn't take any shots before I went. I am still alive the last time I checked.
