Antimalarial tablets — course depends on the medication
Malaria is a significant risk across much of Kenya. Antimalarial tablets are recommended for most travellers, alongside good mosquito-bite avoidance. Our pharmacists will assess your itinerary and recommend the most suitable option — see the malaria section below for more detail.
Understanding potential health risks helps you prepare properly. Our pharmacists will assess your specific itinerary and activities to provide tailored advice.
Malaria is a significant risk across much of Kenya and is the most important health consideration for many travellers. Antimalarial tablets and careful mosquito-bite avoidance are strongly recommended. Other mosquito-borne illnesses such as dengue may also be present, so use repellent and cover up, particularly around dawn and dusk.
Travellers' diarrhoea is common. Drink bottled or properly treated water, avoid ice from unknown sources, and be cautious with uncooked or unpeeled foods. Typhoid and Hepatitis A can be spread through contaminated food and water, which is why vaccination is recommended before your trip.
Rabies is present in Kenya and can be carried by dogs and other mammals. Avoid contact with animals, and seek prompt medical advice after any bite or scratch. Pre-exposure vaccination is worth considering, particularly for adventure travellers, those visiting remote areas, and families travelling with young children.
Kenya's climate ranges from hot coastal areas to cooler highlands. Stay well hydrated, use high-factor sun protection, and pace yourself in the heat. If your itinerary includes high-altitude trekking, allow time to acclimatise. Our pharmacists can advise on general travel health preparation for your trip.
Kenya has a significant malaria risk across much of the country, so antimalarial protection is an important part of preparing for your trip. Our pharmacists will assess your specific itinerary and recommend the right protection for you.
Malaria risk is present across much of Kenya, including coastal areas around Mombasa, lakeside regions, and many safari destinations. Risk is generally lower at higher altitudes, such as parts of Nairobi and the central highlands. Because risk varies by region and season, our pharmacists will assess your itinerary and advise accordingly.
We can supply antimalarial tablets such as Malarone (atovaquone/proguanil), Doxycycline, and Mefloquine. Our pharmacists will recommend the most suitable option based on your health, activities, and duration of stay. It is important to take antimalarials exactly as directed, including before and after your trip.
Antimalarial tablets work best alongside good bite avoidance. Use DEET-based insect repellent on exposed skin, wear long sleeves and trousers after dark, and sleep under an insecticide-treated mosquito net where rooms are not screened or air-conditioned. We stock travel-strength DEET repellents at all four branches.
Three simple steps from booking to being fully protected.
Visit any of our four Hampshire locations during opening hours or book online. Walk-ins are welcome. We serve patients from across Hampshire including Portsmouth, Southsea, Waterlooville, Havant, Fareham, Gosport, and Chichester.
Our GPhC-registered pharmacists will review your full itinerary, medical history, and planned activities to provide personalised Kenya travel health advice. We'll identify exactly which vaccines and medications you need — and just as importantly, which ones you don't.
Receive your vaccines immediately at the same appointment. We stock recommended Kenya travel vaccinations across all four branches and can complete your course before departure. Yellow Fever vaccination is available at our Bosmere Pharmacy, Havant location only.
Ideally, book 6–8 weeks before departure — but don't worry if your trip is sooner. We accommodate last-minute travellers with same-day appointments and can provide protection for most vaccines. Note that the Yellow Fever certificate becomes valid 10 days after vaccination, so allow time for this.
Best timing for multi-dose vaccines such as Rabies, and to ensure your Yellow Fever certificate is valid in good time. Allows your immune system to develop full protection before departure.
Still time for single-dose vaccines including Hepatitis A and Typhoid, and for Yellow Fever ahead of the 10-day certificate validity period. Antimalarial medication can be arranged. First doses of multi-dose courses can begin.
Don't skip it — some protection is always better than none. Hepatitis A and Typhoid can be given same-day, and antimalarial tablets can be arranged. Bear in mind the Yellow Fever certificate is valid only 10 days after vaccination, so come in as early as you can.
