Health
There is a risk of malaria throughout the year, and dengue fever outbreaks occur. Protection against Hepatitis A, tetanus and typhoid are recommended. Cholera outbreaks also occur. Many travelers suffer from diarrhoea and food and water precautions are recommended; tap water should be treated or boiled before drinking. Medical facilities are very limited and medications may not be available. Travelers are advised to bring their own personal medical kit, and travel insurance should be comprehensive.
Safety
The islands are relatively crime-free, but visitors should be aware that muggers and pickpockets will target those who look like they are carrying valuables. It is not advisable to walk around at night, particularly in the town centers. Cyclones are possible between January and April, and Le Kartala volcano on Ngazidja is active and erupts periodically. It is advisable to check on the situation before visiting that part of the island.
