Hi Sarah, I'm going on this trip and yes, also looking forward to it very much. Looking at the reviews of the trip, the Balloon flight looks like a must. This will be my 3rd camping trip / safari to Africa and I doubt I'll ever get bored with them.

Hello my boyfriend and i are going on this trip as well! Very excited. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on which malaria pills to take? This will be my first time to Africa!
Hi Sinead, there is only one - 28th Dec 2012 - 9:06pm
Hi Sinead, there is only one choice for Malaria tablets really, Malarone. They can cost £3-£4 per tablet, but you only start taking them the day you travel, and for 7 days after you get back. I'm not aware of any side affects with Malarone, unlike some of the cheaper ones, so I'd suggest those.

I'd also agree on Malarone - and I've just been into Superdrug and been quoted £2.28 per tablet if that helps? See you all soon.
Thank you - 3rd Jan 2013 - 6:22pm
We are from Canada so I'm sure the prices are much different here. We have a few options for malaria here but I think malarone is the way to go! Looking forward to meeting everyone!
Hi - I'm booked on this trip - really looking forward to it as it will be my second camping adventure in Africa and I loved the first. The highlights for me I think will be the Mountain Gorillas - scary though!! I'm also hoping to do a ballon safari - big birthday in 2013 so this is a treat to myself. Be nice to hear from fellow travellers before we go so please get in touch.
