Staying Healthy on a Kenyan Family Safari

he glossy catalogs filled with pages of majestic elephants, lions in mid-roar, or huggable baby cheetahs rarely, if ever, mention the vaccinations or medications you’ll need for an African safari. The catalogs’ job is to romance and seduce, and not until you have fallen hard for Africa do you receive the get-down-to-business, no-more-cute-animal-photos information packet with “optio

nal, recommended” travel health precautions against the scary tropical diseases you could catch.

The list of vaccinations is daunting, and includes Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Meningitis, Typhoid, Rabies, and Yellow Fever. The vaccines are also eye-poppingly expensive and not generally covered by insurance. The good news is you may not need every single one; it depends on your specific itinerary, your length of stay, your planned activities, and your health. To suss this out, you’ll need the help of an experienced travel clinician. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website details recommended vaccines and links to an external clearinghouse of travel clinics.

Here’s my advice. Start this process at least two months before your trip. I was surprised to find wide disparities in vaccine prices and office visit fees. There is also currently a shortage of Yellow Fever vaccine and many clinics are temporarily out of doses. (These shortages occur occasionally, due to inherent difficulties in vaccine production.)

Fortunately, I was covered by National Geographic’s excellent travel clinic. For my kids, I turned to Capitol Travel Medicine in Arlington, Virginia, which had knowledgeable staff handling the phones. It also offered the best prices I could find and could reserve two doses of the Yellow Fever vaccine. The nurse, Yvonne Knauff, carefully reviewed our itinerary, examined the children’s medical history and shot records (for instance, they had received Hep A and B shots prior to a trip to Costa Rica two years earlier), and talked to the kids about sun safety, insect protection, food choices, and the potential hazards of petting animals. She administered the necessary shots–Yellow Fever ($100) and Typhoid ($70)–and wrote out prescriptions for the malaria prophylactic Malarone. This expensive drug often costs $7 to $9 per pill. (Travelers need to take one the day before entering a malarial zone; one a day while in the zone; and one a day for a week after leaving the area.) Here, too, it helps to shop around. I found the best prices not at neighborhood drug stores such as CVS, but at discount warehouse stores such as Costco, where I paid $6.47 per pill. (Online Canadian pharmacies were also competitively priced.) Cheaper malaria drugs other than Malarone exist, though they may not work in certain areas or may have unpleasant side effects.

After consulting with the nurse, here’s what I put in our medicine kit: first-aid items such as bandages and polysporin topical antibiotic, remedies for upset stomach (Pepto-Bismol), diarrhea (Imodium), allergic reaction (Benadryl), fever (Advil), powdered electrolyte mix (Gatorade), extra pairs of contact lenses for me, extra prescription asthma medication for one son, copies of doctor’s prescriptions, 30 percent DEET insect repellent (young children may need a milder DEET formulation), sunscreen, lip balm, antiseptic wipes, and travel and medical insurance papers with contact phone numbers. Phew.

Kenya Facts

The East African country of Kenya rises from a low coastal plain on the Indian Ocean to mountains and plateaus at its center. Most Kenyans live in the highlands, and Nairobi, the capital, is here at an altitude of 1,700 meters (5,500 feet). Even though Nairobi is near the Equator, its high elevation brings cooler air. To the west of Nairobi the land descends to the north-south running Great Rift Valley—the valley floor is at its lowest near Lake Turkana in the deserts of northern Kenya. Around Lake Turkana, scientists have discovered some of humankind's earliest ancestors—a fossil known as Kenya Man was dated at 3.5 to 3.2 million years old.

Both free enterprise and a measure of political debate helped make Kenya one of Africa's most stable nations after it achieved independence from Britain in 1963. But, more recently, corruption has been an undermining force, and the government—pressured for reform—moved to a multiparty system in the late 1990s. Barriers to progress are high population growth, electricity shortages, and inefficiency in key sectors.

Forty ethnic groups, including Kikuyu farmers and Maasai cattle herders, crowd the countryside, still home to three-quarters of Kenya's people. Intense competition for arable land drives thousands to cities, where unemployment is high. In Nairobi, East Africa's commercial hub, skyscrapers abruptly give way to slums. The government has stepped up efforts to stem poaching, particularly of the elephant and black rhino. Tourism is essential to the economy, and Kenya is one of Africa's major safari destinations.

ECONOMY

• Industry: Small-scale consumer goods (plastic, furniture), agricultural products processing; oil refining
• Agriculture: Tea, coffee, corn, wheat; dairy products
• Exports: Tea, horticultural products, coffee, petroleum products, fish

Samburu National Reserve

Samburu National Reserve is one of the lesser-known national parks, but is nevertheless teeming with life.

Situated alongside the Ewaso Nyiro River, there is plenty to attract wildlife from the surrounding savannah plains.

The reserve is rich in wildlife with an abundance of ra

re northern specialist species such as the Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk and the beisa oryx (also referred to as Samburu Special Five).

The reserve is also home to elephants and large predators such as the lion, leopard and cheetah. Kamunyak the miracle lioness that adopted the baby oryx was as a resident in the reserve.

Wild dog sightings are also a common attraction to this unique protected area. Birdlife is abundant with over 450 species recorded.

Hell’s Gate National Park

Hell’s Gate National Park covers an area of 68.25 square km and is situated in the environs of Lake Naivasha about 90 km from Nairobi. The park is 14 km after the turnoff from the old Nairobi-Naivasha highway.

It is characterized by diverse topography and geological scenery. It is an important home of the lammergeyer (The Bearded Vulture).

Hell’s Gate has two gates that are used by visitors – the main Elsa Gate and the Olkaria Gate. The latter also serves the Olkaria Geothermal Station that is located inside the National Park.
