Just want to know if anyone out there just got back from Vic Falls, how was the weather and also the mosquitos - did u take malaria tabs has i have heard taking the tabs have lots of side effects, pse let me know your views. Thanks
Weather is extremely hot and the bush very dry at the moment. Trying to build for the rains, but only had one really big rainstorm so far. Rain traditionally arrives in November and the once the bush turns green it cools down a bit. Temperatures currently 38 to 40c. Mozzies unseasonally terrible, really really bad. so malaria tablets definitely advisable as it is a malaria zone. You can chance it and then just make sure you watch out for the signs once you get home in about 14 days. Any slight signs of headache or fever rush to your doctor and explain that you have been in a malaria zone. Malaria is quite treatable as long as you catch it early. Residents in the Falls don't take prophylactics as they cant be on them all the time. Not all prophylactics have bad side effects. Tablets like mefliam taken once a week give me no side effects when I have taken them before.
