Travel to Africa for Pregnant Women by: Anne Huysman , Ontdek Kenya
While pregnancy should not in totality mean that one can't travel, there is a "safety" limit of where to to go and mode of travel. Which ever way you look at it, safaris to Africa are usually on the deep-end to most travelers as they are on out of comfort-zone especially to people coming from developed countries. To start with flights to East Africa from Europe are long you are looking at minimum 8 hours , to this add the cross Atlantic flight. At 4 months pregnancy this is already too long to cramped up on seat.
On to the African safari itself, roads are rough and distances between parks is long . All this might give a lot more physical stress that you may not fully enjoy the wildlife viewing.
Last but important , remember you need some vaccinations and malaria prevention medication when going on safari to East Africa . Discuss the pros & cons of taking these with your doctor.I hope I have been of help.
