Kenya-Two month trip advice please

daisyboo

HI, me and a group of friends are visiting Kenya in the summer for 8 weeks, We will be staying at a childrens orphanage in the uplands. I am after some advice on which anti-malaria tablets and insurance to take.

A friends reccomeneded Doxcycylin as these are around the cheapest she said however I am a little wary about them making you sensitve to the sun.

Also does anyone know if it would be better for me to get backpackers insurance? we will be going on safari for a few days whilst were there.

If anyone can offer advice, it would be greatly appriciated.


Thank you

Malaria tablets you must check with your doctor it will be different tablets for different areas, some tablets don't work in certain area so please make sure you don't rely on someone say so

Most insurance will cover upto 90 days in a single trip so shop around. Normal insurance should cover you for a safari but again best to check
