Common Medications

Traveling to Angola requires preparation for potential health concerns. Malaria is a significant risk, so antimalarial medications such as Malarone, Doxycycline, or Chloroquine may be recommended depending on your itinerary. Antibiotics like Azithromycin can help manage traveler’s diarrhea or other bacterial infections. Over-the-counter remedies for motion sickness, allergies, and pain relief are also useful additions to your travel kit.

Immunizations & Vaccinations

Before visiting Angola, ensure you are up to date with routine vaccinations like measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTaP), and influenza. Additional vaccinations for Hepatitis A and B, and typhoid are recommended, particularly for travelers planning extended stays or rural visits. Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory for entry into Angola, with proof required upon arrival. Mosquito-borne illnesses like dengue and Zika are also present, so travelers should take precautions such as using insect repellent, wearing protective clothing, and sleeping under mosquito nets.
