Thanks soooo much for the detailed information. I think my next step will be to consult with a travel clinic and then talk to my doctor. It would be Kenya and Tanzania. You sound like a very experienced traveller!

Hi - Hoping someone may already have the answers to this question. I have been invited on a safari to East Africa next year. It is a lifetime dream but I have a few hurdles to jump first. Does anyone know if the CDC recommedned/required vaccines are GLUTEN FREE? I a few other isssues I'll need to address with my doctor like interaction with my other medications...

They are high quality gourment, as reflected by the price, but soooo worth it!!! I have tried the mixes...
