“Every gap year student should have some skills training to help them travel in a more sensible and informed way. There are very few things in life that we expect to go off and do with no training, so why do we assume that travelling in the developing world can be achieved without preparation?”

Having accurate and up-to-date information about your travel destination is vital for any travel you are planning.

Travel Health is an essential part of any travel plan and Malaria is one of the more serious risks faced by travellers to certain parts of the world. When the risk increases, such as is the case in South Africa currently, then the protection you afford yourself needs to be redoubled.

We take Travel Health seriously and protecting yourself from Malaria and its devastating effects is to near the top of our list. Both a proactive and a prophylactic approach is called for and we advise candidates on our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop (GYITSA) of the best ways to protect themselves against Malaria and other travel health issues.
