Experience the thrill of Mpumalanga's longest aerial cable trail or canopy trail as you slide through the forest canopy stopping along the way on a number of elevated platforms as you descend down into the Sabie River valley. This is a non strenuous activity suitable for people of all ages. Many visitors are unaware that South Africa has a well-developed infrastructure, high standards of water treatment and medical facilities equal to the best in the world. In a great many medical disciplines, South Africa is a global leader. In fact, South African-trained doctors are sought after all over the world, so this should give an indication of the standard of medical care available. There is a large network of public and private hospitals countrywide, offering excellent service. However, clients must have adequate health insurance to cover the fees private hospitals charge. Malaria is found occasionally, only in the Lowveld region of Kruger Lowveld. Although the incidence of malaria is extremely rare, it might be best to take adequate precautions if you choose to visit these areas. Our government has embarked on an extensive anti-malaria programme (in co-operation with Swaziland and Mozambique) and the incidence of malaria is decreasing. The cheapest, safest and most effective measures against malaria are physical barriers such as a mosquito net, and the use of a good insect repellent. If you decide to take malaria prophylaxis, it is essential that you take the drugs in accordance with the directions on the package insert. You will need to start a week or two before entering a malaria-endemic area and should continue taking the drugs for four weeks after leaving the malaria risk area. It is advisable to consult a medical professional before embarking on a course of malaria prophylaxis. Note that expectant mothers should avoid malaria medications. For tourists, the Kruger Lowveld region is as safe as any other destination in the world. While the region boasts a vast array of cultures, communities, sites and attractions, most parts of the region can be safely visited by tourists provided you take basic common-sense precautions (for example not walking alone in deserted areas at night and being circumspect about how much photographic equipment or flashy jewellery you carry). Most of the crime that takes place in South Africa is between people who know each other and random acts of violence make up a very small minority of cases. As a rule, tap water in the Kruger Lowveld region is safe to drink as it is treated and is free of harmful micro-organisms. In hotels, restaurants and nightspots, the standards of hygiene and food preparation are top-notch. It is safe to eat fresh fruit and salads and to put as much ice as you like in your drinks. Our transport infrastructure is excellent and our roads are generally in good condition. However, the distances between towns are significant. If you're planning to self-drive, it is a good idea to plan your itinerary to ensure you don't drive long distances as fatigue is a major cause of road accidents. Avoid long car journeys that necessitate driving at night as it always carries more risk. Translated, that means about one glass of wine for the average woman and perhaps 1.5 or two for the average or large man.
