A Must Purchase For Travelers To Africa,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lonely Planet Healthy Travel: Africa 1st Ed.: 1st Edition (Paperback)
If you are planning to travel anywhere in Africa, especially Sub-Saharan Africa this small, handy book is a must. With the number of infectious diseases prevelant in Africa it is foolish to take unneccessary risks, but most people are probably not familiar with the health risks and options open to them. This book contains comprehensive information on what do to before you go, how to stay healthy, and what to do when you get back. It also has a substantial list of symptoms, diseases and treatments just in case you do get sick (or injured from outdoor activities). It works for outdoor adventurer's, resort go-ers, and urban-only businessmen. Plus its minature size makes it convenient to carry.

Good overview of health risks, preventions measures,
By Toby Scammell - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lonely Planet Healthy Travel: Africa 1st Ed.: 1st Edition (Paperback)
I used this on a recent trip to Africa. It was most valuable in the preparation stage of my trip when figuring out what to bring and what shots were needed to enter certain countries (some of this is now outdated). It has really good maps of where Malaria, Yellow Fever, etc are located on the continent and a good, if also outdated, discussion of anti-malarial drugs.I wouldn't use this as a medical book during any trip, but it's a great primer that gives an overview of all the wonderful parasites and diseases in the region. Bottom line: Gives a really good idea of how to prevent and prepare for getting sick in Africa. Buy it a few months before your trip so you can start getting shots. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful
