The Latest Tanzania Travel
Advisories
Some of the most important things that a traveler to Tanzania
needs to know to be able to plan his/her holidays successfully
have been given here. Please check with us or the nearest Tanzania
Embassy/Consulate for the latest updates are these can change
without notice.
Entry and Health Regulations:
Visitors must be in possession of valid visa or travel documents
on arrival in Tanzania. Different regulations are applied according
to Nationality and country of origin and these should be checked
with the nearest Tourist Offices or diplomatic missions.
Customs and Exit Regulations:
Personal effects, film and camera may be imported temporarily
free of duty. However, a customs bond may be required in connection
with professional video equipment, tape recorders, radios, musical
instruments and souvenirs from other countries, to ensure that
goods can be re-exported. Firearms need special permit, which
must be obtained in advance. Excess baggage is strictly monitored
and charges are very expensive. Custom officials normally check
baggage on arrival and departure.
Currency:
There is no restriction to the amount of foreign currency a visitor
may import. Only authorized dealers are allowed to exchange money.
The three East African currencies of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania
are interchangeable.
Medical Advise:
Tanzania enjoys a healthy, invigorating climate and visitors need
feel no concern during their stay. However, malaria is endemic
in certain areas and anti-malaria medication should be taken according
to prescription recommendations. Visitors requiring special medication
should pack sufficient supplies in their hand luggage. Chemist
shops are well stocked and medication is readily available in
the main cities with medicines becoming scarce as you move further
from these centers of civilization. Please buy all the medicines
and mineral water you may need before the safari commences.
Security:
Visitors should take the same as they would normally take in any
other destination worldwide. Keep a close watch at your handbags,
wallets and cameras when walking in crowd places. Avoid walking
at night and place valuables in safe deposit boxes at hotels and
lodges.
Supplements:
A supplemental charge will be applied to all tours operating between
16 December to 05 January and for the Easter weekend each year.
Departure Taxes:
This is normally included in the cost of the ticket or is alternatively
payable in foreign currency in Tanzania.
Travel:
All the tours are based in hotel/lodge, tented camp or basic camping
and such require little effort. However, East Africa is for the
most part underdeveloped. It is therefore important for you to
understand and accept that even the most meticulous arrangements
can go wrong and that the conditions can dictate that there may
be moments of discomfort and delay. Any clients booking any of
our arrangements must implicitly accept the above and make any
such booking subject to the booking conditions and this general
information. It is our policy to constantly review the services
of the handling agents, hotels, lodges and camps we use, but we
can not be held responsible for the results of delays and alterations
other than in those circumstances outlined in the booking conditions.
Special Diet and Needs:
In the case of special dietary needs or facilities for the disabled,
let us know of these requirements at the time of making the booking.
