A holiday to South Africa can be a breath taking experience and if you get the chance to do a safari trip, then you should grab it with both hands. Whilst South Africa is an amazing and beautiful country, there is often a problem with mosquitos and you will need to try and avoid getting bitten as not only can some of them be carriers of dangerous diseases they can give you a nasty bite that can spoil our holiday.

You need to buy a good quality high DET spray and apply it morning and early evening to try and repel them, you may also need to top this up if you are in and out of the pool. For some people DET spray is enough but for others they still seem to fall victim to these insects all too often. Some research has shown that if you start to take Vitamin B12 about 1 month prior to going away then your body some how will repel mosquitos. Although there is no medical evidence that confirms this is true, the amount of people that swear by it, is often enough to make people give it a go.

Always be sure to have a plug in in your room at night as this is often when many people get bitten.
