Il faut que tu te rendes au centre de vaccination / médecine tropicale de ta ville.
On te vaccinera contre la fièvre jaune et le médecin te prescrira un traitement anti-palu adapté à ton voyage... en principe doxy-palu ou malarone.
Etre à jour sur les vaccins hépatiques ne fait pas de mal non plus!
Salut
J'en connais beaucoup qui ne se vaccinent pas, et qui prennent juste de la chloroquine pour la prévention contre palu. En hotel club, il y a moins de risques de tomber malades qu'en brousse. En plus quinze jours c'est pas long.

il faut prendre rdv a l'hopital pour les vaccins...il est vrai que beaucoup ne font pas le traitement anti palu... moi je suis rentrée hier du sénégal et je l'ai quand meme fait par prudence...mais il faut quand meme savoir que la malarone coute très cher et n'est pas du tout remboursé!!
dans tout les cas bon voyage, je ne sais pas si vous avez prévu de partir en excurtion pour visiter un peu mais je peux vous recommander un très bon guide a des prix tout à fait abordables si cela vous interesse...
tt d'abord bonjour et merci de ta réponse effectivement le traitement anti palu coute trés cher et surprise la sécu considère que c du luxe de voyager!!!! pour le traitement et la piqure contre la fièvre jaune on va prendre rdv mardi pour un départ 02.06.06.
c notre 1er voyage au senegal et j'ai hate je suis motivé. J'aimerai faire qq visites c donc avec plaisir q j'attend ton experience et tes souvenirs du voyage au senegal...ok pour le nom du guide..
ahhh la reforme de la sécu....!!! sans commentaire!!
pour les visites alors moi j'ai fais les incontournables : l'ile de gorée, lac rose, le gros baobab, la reserve de bandia (ça je dirais moyennement bien car cher par rapport a ce que l'on vois mais il ne s'agit que de mon avis...), les iles saloum avec balade en pirogue.....
enfaite il y a tellement de chose a voir, ce qui est bien avec le guide c'est que tu le paye pour la journée lui après paye la location de voiture, le paiement des pirogues etc...du coup l'avantage est de ne pas voir ton argent défilé au fur et a mesure de la journée et te faire arnaquer pas des petits malins qui attendent les touristes au tournant!!!
en plus c'ets vrai que l'avantage est qu'il peut vous ammener ou vous voulez a toute heure pour pas grand chose (c'est un bon conducteur ;-) ou meme venir vous chercher a l'aeroport pour vous ammener ou vous logez...
tu as raison d'avoir hate car je n'ai jamais vu des gens aussi gentils, pret a prendre leur journée pour vous expliquer la vie dans leur pays avec amour...
c'est un pays très riche de rencontre et qui impose une remise en question sur notre mode de vie a l'occidental...la bas il vive de rien mais ils sont heureux, et il y a une vraie solidarité, un exemple pour nous occidentaux qui avont tout a porté de main, avec toute notre technologie, et qui vivont les uns a coté des autres et non les uns avec les autres......
enfin bref ce voyage fut pour moi une révélation....
je ne sais pas si vous avez d'autres questions, dans tout les cas je suis la...
Pour mon ami guide je veux bien votre adresse email pour vous fournir ces coordonnées, afin qu'elles ne se retrouvent pas dans les airs!!!!!

bonjour,
le vaccin contre la fièvre jaune n'est plus obligatoire depuis deux ans. Nous séjournons au Sénégal sept mois par an. Quand au paludisme, le meilleur traitement est de ... ne rien faire. Surtout pas les médicaments pronés par les guides, ils attaquent le foie et on est plus malade qu'autre chose. Le palu n'est dangereux qu'en fin de saison des pluies ( Septembre octobre) donc pas de traitement préventif, mais acheter au Sénégal le médicament ARSUMAX qui traite le palu en trois jours si on l'attrappe. (je sais je l'ai eu lan dernier)
Donc on reste cool et on passe de bonnes vacances. Attention aux boites de nuit la nuit!! sortez couvert!!!
cordialement

Arsumax is good en cas de crise, j'en ai fait l'expérience au Gabon. Si on voyage beaucoup mieux vaut éviter les traitements préventifs qui créent des résistences, et qui attaquent l'organisme et n'empèchent pas de choper le pallu.
Vaccin fièvre jaune ça vaut mieux car pour ça y a pas de traitements. Là bas pour la brousse un toubib m'a conseillé le vaccin méningite a et c autant pour les adultes que pour les enfants.Et puis prendre des précautions pour l'eau...et pour les boites de nuits aussi!!
salut, je te conseillerai de prendre la savarine une semaine avant ton depart 1 comprime par jour et pendant toute la duree de ton sejour .
au plaisir de te lire je suis de dakar
AUCUN médicament préventif contre le palu n'est remboursé par la sécu !! parcontre si tu rentre malade, l'hospitalisation ou les médicaments -prises de sang- etc .. ça c'est remboursé !!
PAPY (qui a bien failli mourir du Palu la veille de Noël 04)
Arsumax n'est pas commercialisé en France(guerre de labos), mais tu peux le trouver au Sénégal, moi j'ai payé la boite récemment 3778 cfa(37.78 ff)...Ce n'est pas remboursé par la sécu comme tous ces médicaments dit de voyage donc de confort(!), par contre qd c'est ds le cadre professionnel là il y a moyen de te faire rembourser par ta caisse ou mutuelle...

il n'y a pas de probleme voici mon mail maelis.k@caramail.com comme ça je pourrais vous donnez ces coordonnées sur le votre...
je n'aime pas les laisser dans les airs!!!!
Je pars au mois d'Avril au Sénégal pour une durée d'un mois au contact permanent avec la population locale. Mon médecin m'a conseillé de faire les vaccins:…
Je voudrai partir 15 jours au sénégal en janvier prochain. savez vous s'il faut obligatoirement un passeport, si la CI ne suffit pas en partant en voyage…
Nous souhaitons partir au sénégal au ois de décembre mais j'ai qq crainte quant au vaccin de la fievre jeune et aux anti paludéen qu'il faut prendre; Qelqu'un…

Hi,
I’m planning a trip to Namibia for 3 weeks in November: should I take malaria prophylaxis, which medication, when to take it, and are there any side effects?
At the end of my trip, I’ll spend 5 days up north near the Angolan border and in Etosha National Park.
Thanks for sharing your travel tips and advice!

I’m planning a trip to Japan next year and I have asthma...
I wanted to know about the regulations regarding Ventolin (Salbutamol) in Japan—is it considered a drug? Can I bring my inhaler with me, or do I need to buy a similar product in Japan?
I have two American cousins. The older one was born in Paris, and his sister was born in California. The latter is planning a trip to Paris this summer, but she recently fell ill, and American doctors don’t know what’s wrong. I had the idea of letting her take advantage of her trip to get treated here, avoiding the high healthcare costs of the American system in the process. The problem is, I can’t find anything online about this—just testimonials from French people who used to be American, but nothing for a simple tourist.
I’m traveling to Portugal with my family and I have a treatment that requires injections. How can I take a flight with these? They look like injectable pens.
Thanks
We’re planning a trip to the Philippines from April 22 to May 8, 2026. Flight from Geneva with a layover in Turkey and Manila. Our itinerary: Angeles – Busuanga – Palawan…
The Philippines are a dream destination, but is it possible to travel there safely? I’ve heard that checked luggage often gets lost, tap water isn’t safe to drink, and mosquitoes are everywhere.
For water, what’s the best solution to carry in a backpack? Is a filtering water bottle 100% reliable?
For mosquitoes, should we treat our clothes with repellent? Are you vaccinated against hepatitis A, malaria, or dengue? Or is there an oral treatment to take?
Hi there,
Does anyone know if there’s travel insurance for someone who’s had a heart attack?
I can’t find an insurer that covers a pre-existing condition, even if it’s stable.
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, next month my wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I are flying to Thailand. It’ll be a great chance to soak up some sun—something we’ve been missing lately here in France! But speaking of sun, I burn easily, and our daughter even more so. I was wondering what SPF to get for sunscreen and whether it’s better to buy it there or before we leave? Thanks for your tips!
Hello,
We’re planning to spend 3 months in Madagascar starting in mid-February.
Areas: Mahajanga, Tulear, Diego Suarez, and Sainte Marie—the order isn’t set yet. We’ll either drive for part of the trip or take flights.
We’ve heard all sorts of things about required vaccines and medications (is anti-malarial mandatory?). What’s the exact situation for travelers?
I’ll come back to you for other topics (like finding a reliable driver, among others).
Thank you.
Best wishes to you all,
Nicole
We're about to go on an organized trip to South Africa, including Kruger Park. We were told that Malarone should preferably be taken in the evening at the same time during a meal. But it's hard to know what time we'll have dinner, especially since I've read that in South Africa, dinner is usually around 6 PM.
I'd love to hear from people who've been on organized trips to this destination and could share their experience. We were thinking of taking Malarone around 7:30 PM, assuming dinner would be closer to 7 PM than 6 PM. Also, if the meal ends up being earlier or later than when we take the pill, would a cookie or a piece of bread be enough to take with Malarone?
I’m planning to set off on a "round-the-world" trip/long journey at the start of next year, lasting between 4.5 and 6 months. For now, the itinerary looks like this: South Korea (2 weeks) -> Japan (1 month) -> New Zealand (1 month) -> Argentina (1 month) -> United States (1 month).
I’m on medication (paroxetine 20 mg/day) and was hoping to bring enough for the entire trip so I wouldn’t have to find a doctor on the spot, deal with a molecule that might be slightly different from what’s available in France, or wonder if that’s even a possibility. Basically, it seemed simpler on paper...
But after looking into the regulations for each country, it’s suddenly way less simple . Many seem to only allow the amount corresponding to the length of your "stay" in the country... Which is a problem if I arrive in Korea with 4.5 months’ worth of medication, for example.
After all that, and even though I’ll obviously contact the relevant authorities in each country (fingers crossed for a response 😛), here’s my question:
Has anyone here had any experience with this? (Even if it’s a different medication or different countries, any input would be helpful!)
I’m trying to plan a trip to Dubai with my mom. I’ve seen that some of our medications require prior authorization (sleeping pills, codeine, anti-anxiety meds, etc.).
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in our situation. A friend of mine applied to bring her tramadol, but it was denied—though she needed high doses!
Has anyone here gone through this process? Do we *really* need a prescription in English?
We just found out my wife is pregnant, and we’ve planned a trip to the Barlavento Islands in Cape Verde this November.
We’d like to know if there’s a real risk of Zika contamination on those islands, because from what we’ve found online, the recorded cases are old and come from the Sotavento Islands.
We’re thinking about canceling our trip.
If you’ve recently traveled to Cape Verde or live there, do you have any thoughts on this?
hi, I’m looking for information about the possibility of returning to Thailand with a portable liquid oxygen system and whether it’s possible to recharge it in Thailand, especially in Chiang Mai. thanks
I’m starting a new discussion on this topic since there doesn’t seem to be a recent one.
I have several chronic conditions (including asthma and related ones), and I’m planning to travel for a year across different countries.
Generally, I understand it’s possible to travel with approved medications (which should be my case), but often with a limit of 3 months’ worth of treatment.
Since I’m going for 12 months, that means for three-quarters of my trip, I’d have more than 3 months’ worth of medication.
I plan to bring my prescriptions with the INN (International Nonproprietary Name), as well as the original packaging (even though it’s a nightmare, but from what I understand, it’s necessary). But I’m not sure if that’s enough...
Have any of you been in this situation before? How does it work at customs—do I need to declare everything that exceeds the 3-month limit? Do I need a letter from my doctors?
I'm currently in Bangkok: How can I find a good doctor for a consultation? It's for a friend who'd like a second medical opinion compared to what they got in their country of residence.
Any professionals you'd recommend? How much does it cost?
I’ve already visited quite a few countries across several continents, but I’m pretty new to Asia.
I’m planning a trip to Thailand in October or November, and I wanted to check about health precautions: malaria treatment, vaccinations (hepatitis A or others...).
I’ll mostly be in the northern region, around Chiang Mai, where I’ll spend a lot of time in nature and the mountains. Then I’ll head south to Phuket or Krabi and visit Khao Sok National Park. I’ll finish up in Bangkok, with a likely detour to Kanchanaburi.
From what I understand, for a stay of less than 60 days, I don’t need a visa (I’m a French national)? I just need to fill out the TDAC form 3 to 5 days before arrival?
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone is heading to Cuba soon and could bring me some over-the-counter Sildenafil (viagra) tablets—available at Varadero Airport, among other places.
Hi there! So, I'm hesitating about taking a long trip. I'd like to go away for 2 to 3 months and travel across several continents. I’d love some advice. I often have unexplained allergies and need to follow a daily treatment for my diabetes (insulin). I think I can get authorization from my doctor to travel for 6 months with the treatment—is that correct? After those 6 months, is it possible (instead of bothering a relative to send the medication) to see a foreign doctor to get another 6-month travel authorization? How does it work at the airport? Do I need just one medication transport authorization, or do I have to request a new one in each country (once the treatment runs out) for both the flight and a DCI? Also, travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so will I have to pay for foreign consultations out of pocket? I’m not sure if I explained myself clearly. Oh, and just to repeat—travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so foreign consultations will be at my own expense? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone.
After years of traveling to the USA without any medical insurance subscriptions—and luckily never having any major health issues (though I did get a scorpion sting buried in the sand at CBSouth, 😇)—life has caught up with us, and we’re now being forced into "wisdom" and leaving our carefree days behind.
So, I’m looking for the best compromise for a 2-month health insurance plan.
I’ve read the discussions on this topic, but the most recent one is from last year, and I’d love your take on the current situation.
I’m familiar with the usual options like Europ Assistance and AXA, but I’ve just discovered Chapka and Heymondo (the latter seems interesting in terms of both price and coverage).
What do you think of these last two? How do they compare in terms of value for money against the bigger companies?
Hi,
We’ve planned a 3-week trip to Bali this summer with our 7-year-old daughter. The itinerary includes Sanur, Nusa Lembongan, Sidemen, Amed, and Ubud. The more time passes, the more we read about people getting sick—some with mild to severe traveler’s diarrhea, and many ending up in the hospital. We, as parents, have been through it in Egypt with pretty bad cases, but we’d really like to avoid that for our daughter. Even though there’s no zero risk, and we’ll be careful, can any of you reassure me? Not everyone got sick, right? I’d love to hear positive feedback from parents, but not just them 😊. Thanks in advance!
Hi there...
I’m traveling with a friend for a month in November.
We booked our round-trip tickets from Paris to Phnom Penh, and yes, I know—it was a mistake. We should’ve flown out of Laos, but here we are.
But is it doable to backpack through both countries in a relaxed way?
I’ve seen that the transport takes a while...
Thanks so much for your replies.
Hi there,
I’ve started looking into getting dental implants, possibly in Costa Rica or Mexico.
Do you have any clinics to recommend or ones I should avoid?
For the next steps, I need to choose between Cuba Medika or Medigo—these are agencies that help with medical procedures. Do you have any info on either of them?
Hi everyone, a question for those who’ve been lucky enough to visit Raja Ampat—should you consider preventive malaria treatment given its proximity to Papua? And how was the food hygiene situation?
Thanks for your feedback! !
For several years now, increased aggression has been observed in Cape fur seals.
At least 70 unprovoked attacks on humans.
It was recently confirmed that this is due to rabies.
The suspected origin is contamination in Namibia by jackals.
The contagion seems to be spreading.
Preventive vaccination (of the animals) is being considered.
Just a reminder:
Rabies affects all mammals.
Once symptoms appear—sometimes weeks or even months later—death is inevitable.
It’s the bite that transmits the disease.
There are so-called "furious" forms with aggression, but also forms without aggression.
In case of a bite, in addition to standard wound care, tetanus prevention… rabies prevention is essential.
Stay careful out there…
Seeing seals from a boat along the coast isn’t rare in these parts…
I need 2 dental implants and I'd like to get them done abroad (it's a question of price).
Thanks for helping me with my search (Turkey, Spain, Romania???)
Can you tell me if you're satisfied with the services provided by Dentist Miguel at Club Amigo in Holguin? I'd like to go there in mid-December. Is it worth the trip to get dental prosthetics done?
Thanks for getting back to me... Michelle from Quebec
Hello,
I’m looking for a dentist who can do a full lower-arch implant with a complete prosthesis. I’m in Quebec and available to travel to Cuba. Need full contact details. Thanks everyone!
