Swaziland, Africa

Malaria Risk Travel Information

The Western parts of the country are very low risk and bite avoidance is required. In all other areas, including the Northern and Eastern regions bordering Mozambique and South Africa(Including Lubombo district and Big Bend, Mhlume, Simunye and Tshaneni regions), the risk is high and a prescription antimalarial is required. If visiting these areas you will require one of the prescription anti-malarials, either Atovoquone and Proguanil Generic MalaroneMalaroneDoxycycline or Lariam.
