Recent concerns about an Ebola outbreak in parts of Congo and Uganda mean travelers should stay informed about health advisories and screening measures at airports. For those returning from affected areas, extra health checks are now mandatory upon arrival back in the US. While the situation can be worrisome, visitors can still enjoy other stunning destinations with peace of mind. With sunny days and mild temperatures (+23°C) expected in May, it’s a great time to explore beyond the outbreak zones and experience Africa’s vibrant wildlife and cultures safely.
