Malaria-free safari: Ask the experts

Q. I’d love to take the children on safari but don’t want to dose them up
with malaria pills. Are there any malaria-free safari parks?

A. Of the 200 game parks across South Africa, those that lie just to the east of Port Elizabeth are out of range of the killer mosquito.

Kwandwe, for example, is home to more than 7,000 animals, including elephant, buffalo, rhino, lion, cheetah, antelope and scores of other species.

Other nearby safari options, also widely featured by tour operators, include Shamwari and, in Addo National Park, famous for its 300-plus elephants, Goriah.
