Anti Malaria

It probably depends how long you stay

If long, then you can do as the "Africans" say (ie no pil), but I noticed that most of them do get occasional fever attacks. Apparently suffices to forget socks/sleeves in the evening when having a drink at the bar while having mosquitoes around.

My stays tend to be less than 3 weeks (was in Tanzania a few months back, will be in Rwanda next month) So I take Malarone, even if it creates discomfort (headache..).
