Local know-how
Staying safe
- •Kiribati is generally a safe place to travel.
- •Normal common sense applies when moving around.
- •Some care should be taken on the roads as the traffic can include pigs, children, dogs and buses all fighting for road space.
Staying healthy
- •Don't drink the water without boiling or filtering.
- •Get a hepatitis A vaccination, and be up-to-date on all your other vaccinations, preferably several weeks beforehand.
- •There's no malaria, but dengue fever outbreaks (mosquito transmitted) do sometimes occur.
- •Medical evacuation insurance is highly recommended for Kiribati. Many outer islands do not have airstrips, making any sort of evacuation long and difficult.
