Can I Take Malaron Tablets During Pregnancy?

Hello. I have recently found out I am pregnant, however I am due to travel to Kenya in 2 weeks time, on holiday. I have already been prescribed Malarone tablets, for prevention of malaria. Prior to finding out I was pregnant. Can I still take this medication? Or do you recommend alternative? Or am I too late to take any type of alternative medication?
