As a mosquito can only become a carrier by drawing blood from an infected person the high risk areas are generally around settlements and towns.A malaria distribution map of Africa will show most of the well known wilderness areas as having some degree of malaria occurrence but in recent years reserves have been established in the malaria free areas of South Africa - allowing for a true malaria-free safari.Malaria-free means that the mosquitoes that occur in the area are not carriers of the disease. This may mean that the mosquitoes are of a different species or do not have the necessary adaptations to carry the virus.
