Health & vaccines

  • A yellow fever vaccination certificate may be required if you arrive from a country at risk: check the official rules.
  • See a travel clinic 4 to 6 weeks before you leave: some vaccines are often recommended.
  • Don't drink tap water: drink bottled or filtered water, and avoid ice of unknown origin.
  • The sun and heat are strong: drink a lot, wear a hat, and avoid the midday hours.
  • Travel insurance is strongly recommended.
