New Exotic Experiences & Adventures

With a wealth of information available on websites and travel blogs, and an ever increasing

availability of flights, the world is becoming much more accessible and many travellers are

choosing developing countries as their next holiday destinations. While these countries offer

a wonderful assortment of new experiences and adventures, they are exotic in every sense

of the word and many pose health risks of which travellers should be aware.

Yellow Fever

One of the risks is the exposure to yellow fever - a viral disease that is transmitted by

mosquitoes. If you are planning on travelling through the tropical areas of South and Central

America or Africa you should take note of the countries where yellow fever occurs. Yellow

fever vaccinations requirements vary from country to country. For some, you may need a

vaccination to prevent the risk of contracting the disease, but also require proof of

vaccination to enter the country or once you return back home. For the best advice you

should consult with a travel health professional to find out exactly what the requirements

are for your chosen destination.



5 Popular Countries Where You May Need A Yellow Fever Vaccination

This disease shouldn’t dissuade you from travelling to new countries and with proper

planning, some precaution and safe, effective vaccinations you can minimise your chances

of getting infected.

Here are five popular countries for which you may need a yellow fever vaccination:

1. Brazil The 2014 FIFA World Cup has certainly put Brazil on many travellers’ maps. With gorgeous

beaches, breath-taking rain forests and bustling cities to visit this beautiful country offers an

amazing travel experience to its visitors. The city of Rio de Janeiro is especially popular for

its bright beaches, mountains, music and dance. Jericoacoara should be on your to do list if

you love lazing on tropical beaches – it’s not known as the Brazilian Maldives for nothing! If

you love nature, then head for the Panatal, a vast wetland teeming with local flora and

fauna.

2. Argentina Argentina is well known for its good mix of beautiful landscapes, delicious food, vibrant

culture and friendly locals. This country’s top tourist attractions include the Iguaza Falls, the

Mendoza wine regions and Ushuaia – the world’s southernmost city. Patagonia is a must

visit in the southern part of the country if you really want to feel like getting away from it all.

The region is packed with local wildlife, birds and you can even spot some marine creatures

along the coast such as southern right whales, orcas and elephant seals.



3. Venezuela

A Caribbean coastline, idyllic islands and Amazonian landscapes and wildlife are just some of

the variety that makes a trip to Venezuela unforgettable. Although not as popular as Brazil

or Argentina, this nation attracts many travellers seeking adventure and untouched

landscapes. Angel Falls is one of the star attractions in Venezuela and with a total height of

979m, it’s actually 16 times the height of Niagara Falls.

4. Kenya If you’re looking for a holiday destination that offers safari adventures, tranquil beaches and

rich cultural experiences then you should visit Kenya. This African country is an animal

lover’s paradise. The Masai Mara National Reserve - with its rich wildlife - frequently

features on ‘must-see’ lists for travellers to the continent. Other local attractions include the

Amboseli National Reserve and Lake Nakuru National Park in Central Kenya.



5. Rwanda CNN has recently listed the mountain gorillas in Rwanda as one of the best things to visit in

Africa. Although relatively unexplored, many tour operators in this are offer trekking and

safari tours to view gorillas, chimpanzees and other wild life in the forests, mountains and

volcanoes that form part of the Rwandan landscape.
