Answer

The Eastern Cape of South Africa is a malaria free environment. Although there is no real need for any vaccinations or inoculations, one cannot go wrong by taking a Hepatitis A and B vaccine and make sure ones Tetanus vaccine are up to date.
It would also be recommended to go for a full medical check up before the hunt commence.  
Warmer weather combined with high rainfall may sometimes cause high tick populations. Insect repellant is used very effectively to neutralize this problem when it does occur. Sunburn and dehydration, caused by our sometimes harsh African sun, can be prevented by using sunscreen regularly and wearing a hat in the daytime.
Most of the vegetation consist of thorns with various shapes and sizes. Clients should always keep this in mind while in the process of stalking animals.
