A little preparation goes a long way. Here are the essentials most travellers ask about before a trip to Tanzania.
Visas & entry
Most nationalities need a visa, available online via the eVisa portal or on arrival. A passport valid for at least six months and proof of yellow-fever vaccination (if arriving from a risk country) are required.
Health & safety
Antimalarial precautions are strongly recommended. Tanzania is a welcoming, safe destination — use the same common sense you would anywhere and travel with a reputable operator.
Money & getting around
The Tanzanian shilling is the local currency, though US dollars are widely accepted for tourism. Most travel between parks is by 4x4 or light aircraft, arranged as part of your itinerary.
