| As in any tropical region, good hygiene is not only important
but makes sense: wash hands often, do not bathe in still water, wash fruits
and vegetables with clean water. Only drink bottled water
to avoid the “tourista”. If you end up getting it anyway, reduce the consumption of vegetables
and fruits and intead eat rice. |

Bring mosquito repellant and lotion against the sun. But if you forget them, don’t worry, pharmacies are well stocked. You will also find mosquito repellant in the supermarkets or small grocery stores. |
| Malaria : Malaria is present in Senegal, so it recommended to be on an anti-malaria prescriptin during your visit. |
Vaccines : Hepatitis A and B vaccines and Cholera are not mandatory. |
|
Because of its geographic position, the sun in Senegal is probably more
aggressive than where you will be coming from. Bring sunscreen for your
protection and in the event you get a sun burn it is recommended that
you bring some Aloe or an equivalent soothing lotion. |
