Finally time for our Tanzania honeymoon- and I'm pregnant

Hello all. My husband and I got married 2 years ago and, well, our lives finally settled down for us to book a honeymoon. We booked Tanzania for 7 days (including safari and the hot air balloon rides) and Zanzibar for 3 days (relaxing, snorkeling, maybe scuba diving). With our trip 2 weeks away, we just found out I'm 5 weeks pregnant. Unfortunately, my GYN isn't able to see me until AFTER our trip, and since I'm a new patient with no established history- she's not able to answer my questions either. I'm up to date on vaccines, I started my anti-malarial today (safe for pregnancy), and I was just wondering if anyone has been there, and was in the same situation as me. Did you take any additional precautions? Did you still do the hot air balloon? Any advice??

**Please don't comment that I should cancel my plans because I've read plenty of posts, and articles that it is perfectly fine to travel there at this point-- I'd appreciate advice on how people in my shoes enjoyed/dealt with this situation**

THANK YOU
