Présence de serpents à Marrakech?
by Colligna
This discussion is in French, the community’s main language.
Bonjour,
Après 8 voyages au Maroc en Land Rover et en bivouac de 2 à 5 semaines été comme hiver, nous n'avons jamais rencontré ces petites bestioles même avec des enfants qui passent leur temps à soulever des pierres pour trouver des fossiles. Bref, si tu en cherches tu dois pouvoir en dénicher sinon pas d'inquiétude à avoir de ce côté-là. Ce qui n'était pas le cas en Amérique Centrale... Valérie.

SALUT !!
Pour les serpents ?? je n'en ai jamais vu au Maroc (en vadrouille) Pour les scorpions, c'est une autre affaire !! j'en ai bien vu une dizaine sans les chercher, j'ai même été piqué par l'un d'eux !! (c'est un accident) (mais p'tain que ça fait mal 48h) Ce genre de bestiolles passent la journée planqué sous les pierres ou autres en attendant la nuit, car il y fait plus froid et que c'est plus facile pour eux de chasser, avec l'avantage qu'il sont invisible aux prédateurs de jour !! ILS ne sont pas agressifs car nous ne sommes pas une proie qu'ils pourraient manger, mais s'ils se sentent pris ils piquent dans le genre pied nue tu y marche dessus !! Ne pas soulever les pierres sans faire attention, c'est la régle !! et ne pas ce promener pied nus le soir, c'est l'heure où il sortent !! Mais ils en a c'est sur !! Maintenant quand je souléve une pierre dans une zone qui pourrait être une zone à scorpions, je regarde bien l'empreinte de la pierre qui reste sur le sol, et c'est souvent qu'un p'ti scorpion, translucide en boule est bloti et ne bouge pas, facile de ne pas le voir si on ne fait pas attention !! Pour la grande taille du grand noir !! vu une seule fois en montagne, en retournant des pierres !! Brr !! des gamins l'ont calmement écrasé avec le pied chaussé de tong !! z'on pas peur les morpions !! Pour les zones ?? bordure d'Oued le soir, ça aime bien les zones humides !! Pas de panique tout de même !! Cordialement de http://papyetmamyenvoyage.oldiblog.com/

En Tunisie j'ai vu quelques serpents mais je passais mes journées à les chercher... c'est une de mes passions. 😉
Vu de nombreux scorpions et deux vipères à corne dans le Grand Erg oriental en Tunisie.C'était au mois d'avril.
Par contre:en Egypte, Libye, Niger, Mauritanie et Algérie;rien vu en automne

Bonjour,
effectivement les réponses faites un peu plus haut etayent un constat accablant: pour les serpents: en voie de disparition totale; massacrés par les uns à coup de pierre pour causes de croyances.... ou chassés par les autres (très recherchés) pour les spectacles à tou-tous (certains touristes, pas tous) après avoir étés mutilés (arrachage des crochets, ablations des poches à venin.....).
Ces derniers ont des espérences de vie très courtes et sont remplacés après leur mort quasiment tous les 10 jours.
Un bon conseil, ne donnez pas d'argent à ces gens-là, comme vous ne le faites pas non plus aux enfants dans les rues.
Donc,
aucune chance d'être importuné par un serpent au maroc, même au sahara occidental (là où ils sont chassés dans les moindres trous pour les spectacles couillons de la place J-E-F ou les grands hotels des voyagistes.
Pour plus d'infos sur ce problème: http://geos-nature.org/forum.html
pour les scorpions: il y en a (on pourrait dire encore!). Les bazzaristes de Marrakech ne les ont pas tous mis en bocaux...
Les scorpions sont comme tous les animaux, ils craignent les hommes;en rencontrer un relève soit de l'accident malheureux soit d'une recherche effrénée en soulevant toutes les pierres.
Ils sont présents dans tout lemaroc, plus nombreux là ou il fait chaud bien sûr et plus l'été que l'hiver!
C'est dans la région de Beni-Mellal où les comptages et aussi les accidents ont été les plus nombreux.
L'Hôpital de Beni Mellal est réputé pour sa compétence particulière.

j'ai vécu dans la palmeraie de marrakech et c'est un coin rempli de scorpions, attirés par les dattes, ils ne sortent effectivement "que" la nuit, cherchent les points d'eau, j'en ai donc trouvé dans ma douche ! mais en été j'en ai chassé des dizaines, des petits et des gros, ils n'attaquent pas mais courent très vite .... quand on achète un terrain surtout plein de palmiers il faut bien remué la terre avec des produits spéciaux car ils se reproduisent très très vite et en très grand nombre ! ce n'est pas mortel pour les adultes, il faut quand même aller vite à l'hopital, mais très dangereux pour les enfants

Hi there,
Do you know of any good travel insurance? Usually, I go with the one from the agency. But this time, I want to travel independently, and I'm a bit lost.
Some people told me that when you pay with a credit card, you get the bank's insurance. But after checking with the bank, that's not true. Or else, you have to add an extra option and pay for it monthly.
So, I'm looking for insurance that covers cancellation, repatriation, lost luggage, etc. Thanks for your tips!

Hi there,
A friend has osteoarthritis in the knee and a meniscus problem, treated with regular injections.
Do you know of any insurance companies that cover pre-existing conditions in case their knee locks up in Africa?
Thanks a bunch!
A one-month trip to Australia and New Zealand.
We’re bringing our current medications (for blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and antibiotics if needed) along with the corresponding prescription.
Do we need to have it translated into English, or do translations only apply to medications we’d need to refill locally during a long stay?
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!

Hi there,
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?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi everyone!
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.
Could you shed some light on this for me?
Thanks in advance.

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?
Thanks for your feedback!

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.

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,

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?
Thanks for your replies!

Hi everyone,
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!)
Thanks in advance! 😉 Ananasas

Hi there,
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?
Thanks

Hi,
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?
Thanks

Hi everyone,
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?
Thanks in advance for your replies,
See you soon, Bruno

Hi there,
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?
Thanks for your advice! Fred

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?
Thanks in advance, everyone.

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?
Thanks so much for your help!

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…
