    • Travel preparation

    • Some countries requires that your passport has at least 6 months validity left.
    • Reconfirm your flights as there may be airline schedule changes. Your return flight must be reconfirmed at your destination directly with the airline 3 days prior to your departure.
    • Make sure that your luggage has a tag with your name, address, and telephone number. Tie a colorful ribbon or attach distinctive stickers to your luggage so that you can identify it easily, and other travelers will not take it by mistake at a busy terminal.
    • Most companies offer signup and monitoring online. Getting your air miles after your trip is a pain, so better do it in advance.

    • Home preperation

    • A pile of newspapers or a stuffed mailbox tells thieves that you are not at home.
    • One way to help protect your home while away on vacation is to make it seem like the homeowners are currently there. This can be done by setting up timer lights throughout the house. Lights can be placed on timers both indoors and out which will present an at home atmosphere. Those who perpetrate breaking and entering crimes will be less likely to target a home which has lights on and may opt for houses which are dark and obviously no one is home.

    • Vaccinations

    • Transmitted person-to-person by ingestion of contaminated food or water or through direct contact with an infectious person.
    • Transmitted by mosquito bites. Many countries require you to have a vaccination certificate proving you got this shot, so don't forget to bring it along, or you may be denied entry at the border or airport.
    • Transmitted by the ingestion of contaminated food or water.
    • The main symptoms are profuse watery diarrhea and vomiting. Transmitted by contaminated water or food.
    • Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease, causing symptoms that typically include fever and headache, in severe cases progressing to coma or death.
      South Africa: Low altitude areas of Mpumalanga and Limpopo including Kruger National Park and KwaZulu-Natal as far south as Jozini. All other areas - very low risk, avoid mosquito bites
    • Primarily carried by rodents (most notably rats) and spread to humans via fleas. Depending on lung infection, or sanitary conditions, plague also can be spread in the air, by direct contact, or by contaminated undercooked food or materials.
    • Transmitted by animals, most commonly by a bite from an infected animal. The virus infects the central nervous system, ultimately causing disease in the brain and death.
    • Recommended if you are not up-to-date with routine shots, such as measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine, diphtheria/pertussis/tetanus (DPT) vaccine, poliovirus vaccine, etc.
