All travellers to Tanzania are required to prove they are fully vaccinated for COVID-19. If you’re not fully vaccinated, you must present a negative COVID-19 RT- PCR or NAATs test certificate or take a Rapid Antigen Test on arrival. Please check with your local embassy before arrival for the latest health information.

Tanzania can offer wildlife safaris, Mount Kilimanjaro climbs, cultural heritage sites, golden beaches and water-based activities to both thrill and excite! It is important to choose an experience that suits your interests, budget, time, level of fitness and also the weather at the time you plan to visit. Please contact us for any local advice and guidance before you travel.

Sometimes things happen that you did not plan for – that’s one of the challenges when travelling through Africa! Please don’t worry as there are always alternatives, staying flexible and open-minded will ensure that you continue to enjoy your trip. Adaptability is what we do best, and you can always place your trust in us!

• • A valid passport and visa are required to enter Tanzania. Please check with your local Tanzanian Embassy for the latest information on visa requirements.

• • The local currency is the Tanzanian shilling (Tsh). It is best to carry a small amount of shillings in your pocket for drinks, tips etc. Major currencies (US Dollar, English Pound and the Euro) are easily changed in large towns, with US Dollars being the preferred choice. Credit cards are accepted only at major lodges, hotels, and travel agents. ATM’s are available in banks around the country which allow you to withdraw cash from VISA and/or MasterCard accounts; however, there are daily limits for withdrawals (e.g. USD$200) and fixed transaction costs are applied, so it is more cost-effective to withdraw higher amounts.

• Tanzania is a large country. It can be hot at the coast and cold in the Ngorongoro highlands – you’ll need to bring clothing for all weather if you are travelling around. What you bring depends a lot on what you are planning to do – climbing Kilimanjaro obviously require extra equipment! The Swahili coast can be hot and humid and there will be mosquitoes, so pack long trousers and sleeves plus mosquito repellent! For hiking, bring layers and comfortable hiking boots. For the beach, bring a sarong not a beach towel, to blend in with the locals! You will need a hat, sunglasses and suncream; and we also recommend that you bring some rich moisturiser – the air in places can be very drying!
