I just got back on Sunday from a 2-week trip (Amboseli, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Masai Mara) and we had very few mosquitoes. We arrived literally days after the rains stopped. The worst of it was at dinnertime when I wore sandals, so I was just sure to put insect repellent on my feet. I used Jungle Juice that I buy at REI. It's only 18% DEET I think and worked fine. Most of the lodges also had insect repellent wipes in the rooms. There was a band of tse-tse flies below Serena Serengeti Lodge so we had to roll up all the windows for about 30 minutes.

I got 4 mosquito bites the whole trip, when I was careless and didn't use repellent when I should have.

Sorry to be in the dark but what is RV Fever? Different from Yellow Fever? The cdc says to get Yellow Fever, Malaria drugs, optional Hep A, oral Typhoid and meningitis....going to Tanzania in June, please help.

at first I couldn't open the link to Arusha Times but have now been able to. Has anyone heard of suggestions to avoid this? Not eat meat and milk I guess?
