It is vitally important to take along a signed doctors letter for every item of medication you are carrying - don't give officials reasons to accuse you of being a drug trafficker or dealer.
Get your vaccinations done in good time.
If you're having vaccinations against Hepatitis,  it is a six month process (after the first jab, there is a booster after 28 days and another five months after that).  Contact your local Travel Clinic for advice.
We used the NetCare Travel Clinic at the Linksfield Clinic; Marlene was so good that we barely felt the needles go in!
