The South African National Department of Health recommends that competitors practice mosquito avoidance in malaria risk areas. Hoedspruit and the areas that the Africa Wild Ultra™ 21 takes part in, are considered low to moderate risk areas for malaria.

Many visitors to these areas do take some form of malaria prophylaxis, especially during the months of November-April (summer months). The very lowest risk of malaria is between June and October (Africa Wild Ultra™ 21 takes place in May, which is considered a moderate to low risk month).

Precautions like mosquito repellents and prophylaxis are recommended. Use mosquito repellent on exposed skin and wear long-sleeved, light-coloured clothing, long trousers and socks especially at dawn and dusk. Prevention is always considered a priority over cure. Malaria should not be a discouraging factor for participation.

Africa Wild Ultra™ will utilise the services of volunteers for the successful execution of the race. Africa Wild Ultra™ deems all volunteers to have the same authority as race staff regarding the application of race rules and guidance for the duration of the race.
