We travelled in the North-East (Krueger NP) and this area is a medium risk zone. But you also need to consider the season. As we travelled in the dry season (south african winter) we decided to use repellent in combination with long-sleeve in kaki tones. It was a great decision. I haven't seen hardly any moscito in the 8 days in the park. I would recommend to buy the repellent in south africa as they have better working products there. In case you feel sick, you can get good stand-by products all over RSA. Bernhard Hi David,
