Wherever in Africa you are headed

Every region calls for a different plan

East Africa safari routesTravelers heading to Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda typically go over yellow fever, malaria prevention, and typhoid at the visit. Longer safaris and remote lodges often bring rabies and altitude questions into the conversation too.
West AfricaTrips to Nigeria, Ghana, and Senegal often call for a look at yellow fever certificate requirements alongside typhoid and hepatitis A protection. Your pharmacist also walks through food and water precautions for the region.
North AfricaTravelers to Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia usually focus on hepatitis A and typhoid, with polio booster status checked for some itineraries. Yellow fever is not usually part of the visit unless your route connects through other countries first.
Southern AfricaVisits to South Africa, Zambia, Botswana, and Namibia often cover malaria prevention for game reserve areas, plus typhoid and hepatitis A. Longer stays or heavy outdoor time can bring rabies into the conversation as well.
Somewhere else in Africa?These are common routes, not the full list. Every visit starts from your actual itinerary, wherever in Africa it goes.

The vaccines your trip may call for

What we go through for most Africa trips

Authorized center

Yellow fever

Riley's is an authorized yellow fever vaccination center, so we issue and stamp your ICVP yellow card in person, no separate appointment elsewhere.

When to get it
At least 10 days before you arrive. The certificate is not considered valid until 10 days after the dose, so late bookings are the most common reason travelers get stuck.
You leave with
Your ICVP yellow card, signed and stamped. Keep it with your passport. For most travelers a single dose is treated as lasting for life.

Typhoid

Comes up for most Africa itineraries, especially trips that involve local food, markets, or rural travel.

Who it is for
Travelers visiting friends and relatives, staying with local families, eating outside hotels and restaurants, or traveling to smaller towns and rural areas, where food and water exposure is higher.
When to get it
Around 2 weeks before departure so protection has time to build.

Hepatitis A and B

Hepatitis A is a common recommendation for Africa trips. Hepatitis B often comes up for longer stays, medical work, or close contact with local communities.

When to get it
Start as early as you can. Both are given as a series, and the later doses are what give you longer lasting coverage.
At the visit
Both are reviewed against your itinerary and your past vaccination history.

Rabies and MenACWY

Two vaccines that depend heavily on your route, so your pharmacist confirms what your trip calls for.

Rabies
Discussed for long stays, remote travel, or trips with likely animal contact.
MenACWY
Comes up for travel through the meningitis belt and for Hajj connected itineraries.

Malaria prevention

Malaria is not a vaccine conversation. It is a destination risk your pharmacist walks you through at the visit.

At the visit
Prevention planning and bite precautions suited to where you are headed. Malaria vaccines are not part of routine care before travel for US travelers.

Timing matters more than most travelers expect

Give your trip the head start it needs

Several travel vaccines need a head start before you fly, and your yellow fever certificate is not considered valid until 10 days after the dose. Some vaccines are given as a series over a few weeks, so booking early gives you the most options. Flying sooner than that? A visit is still worth it. Even on a short timeline there is almost always something useful we can do, and you leave with clear guidance for the road.

  1. Tell us about your trip. A short form, about a minute from your phone.
  2. Pick a preferred time. We hold it for you and a pharmacist calls to confirm. Appointments usually available the same week.
  3. Come in once. Your vaccines and travel advice in one visit. Walk out ready to go.

Questions travelers ask

Africa trip FAQ

Do I get my yellow fever certificate the same day?

Yes. Riley's is an authorized yellow fever vaccination center, so we issue and stamp your ICVP yellow card in person at the visit. Keep it with your passport.

Can you see kids before an Africa trip?

We are currently accepting children 12 years and older. Your pharmacist reviews age and health history to confirm what fits your child's trip.

How early should I book before flying to Africa?

A few weeks out gives you the most room, since some vaccines are given as a series and your yellow fever certificate needs 10 days to become valid. Appointments are usually available the same week if that is not possible.

I fly to Africa in two weeks. Is it too late to come in?

No, come in as soon as you can. There is almost always something useful we can do, even on a short timeline, and your pharmacist will walk through what your trip calls for.

Does my trip require a yellow fever vaccine?

It depends on your itinerary. Some countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination for entry and some do not. Your pharmacist confirms what your itinerary calls for at the visit and issues your ICVP card if you need one.

Do you give a malaria vaccine before my trip?

Malaria vaccines are not part of routine care before travel for US travelers. Malaria is discussed at your visit as a destination risk, with prevention planning and bite precautions suited to where you are headed.

What does the visit cost, and is it covered by insurance?

The standard consult is $49, or $59 for an express visit seen within 2 business days. A companion traveling to the same destination is $25. Vaccine coverage varies by plan and patient, so ask us for details. The consult is a separate charge. The fee is refundable with at least 24 hours notice; appointments booked within 24 hours of the visit time are not refundable.
