90% of all malaria cases are in sub-Saharan Africa!!! Is it safe to still pursue a visit here?

Hi! Yes, it's still safe to travel in countries where there are malaria outbreaks as long as you've got complete immunization. It's better to get your vaccines (in this case, anti-malaria injection) from your home country rather than in Africa since healthcare facilities in Africa are very poor.

Yes, just pack on some mosquito repellants and get vaccinated first.
