Frequently Asked Questions
Let’s answer some of the most popular travel questions.
Is it safe to travel to Tanzania?
Tanzania is as safe as any other African country. Caution should be used at all times.
Some precautionary measures to take include but are not limited to:
Lock valuables in hotel safes.
Do not carry large quantities of cash with you.
Do not carry a lot of camera equipment.
Avoid wearing flashy jewellery.
Regularly check your government websites to see if any travel restrictions have been given
Which vaccinations are recommended for Tanzania?
If you’re coming from a country with yellow fever, you’ll need a vaccination certificate. It’s also recommended to get the vaccination before you leave, as it’s effective for 10 years.
This liver disease can be contracted from contaminated food or water, so it’s often recommended to get vaccinated or a booster before traveling to Tanzania.
The risk of getting the flu is present all year round in tropical climates, so it’s recommended to get vaccinated.
Other recommended vaccinations include polio, rabies, hepatitis B, and Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis).
Malaria is also a risk in Tanzania, but there’s no vaccination for it. You may need to take antimalarial tablets, so you can consult a travel clinic to discuss your options. You can also take steps to prevent bug bites by cleaning the area, avoiding scratching, and using over-the-counter remedies like hydrocortisone or antihistamines.
Is food and Water Safe in Tanzania?
Never drink directly from the tap in Tanzania, always have bottled or boiled water instead. Avoid ice, raw vegetables and fruit at street restaurants. However, high end lodges and hotels often take great precautions when preparing your food and ensure that it is clean and well cooked.
