I suppose that quote is applicable. But when someone comes on this forum and flatly says that a health risk is very low or negligible, there needs to be some basis for that other than one's personal risk aversion characteristics.
South Africa National Parks says that the malaria risk in Kruger National Park is very low after periods of low rainfall. It does not say that the risk is very low year round. The highest risk period there is between December and April, according to SANP.
The United States Centers for Disease Control says this:
Malaria transmission only occurs in the northeast of the country in the Mpumalanga and Limpopo Provinces (including Kruger National Park) and in Kwa-Zulu Natal north of the Tugela River.... Plasmodium falciparum is the predominant species and is universally resistant to chloroquine. Visitors to these areas should be on a malaria chemoprophylaxis regimen and should be advised about mosquito precautions. Malaria in the northeastern game reserves is seasonal; the highest transmission occurs from October through May, peaking from February to early May. The risk to visiting travelers is low. A study conducted in 1999 estimated a case rate of 4.5 cases per 10,000 visitors in April, a high-transmission month. The South African Department of Health recommends malaria chemoprophylaxis for all travelers visiting from September through May and mosquito-avoidance measures for the rest of the year. CDC recommends chemoprophylaxis at all times of the year.
