What insect repellent should I use for a safari?

For a safari, it's best to use a repellent with at least 20-30% DEET or Picaridin. These are effective against mosquitoes and ticks.

Are there any natural alternatives that work well?

Yes, natural alternatives like oil of lemon eucalyptus and citronella can be effective, but they may not last as long as DEET.

How often should I reapply the repellent?

Reapply every 4-6 hours, or more frequently if you're sweating or in heavy insect areas.

Is there anything else I should consider for insect protection?

Wearing long sleeves and pants, and using permethrin-treated clothing can also help protect against insect bites.
