While on safari, it is important to follow the instructions of your guide at all times. Stay inside the vehicle unless instructed otherwise, maintain a safe distance from wildlife, and avoid sudden movements or loud noises that could startle the animals. We will provide you with detailed safety guidelines prior to your safari adventure.

Tanzania is considered a low-risk destination for major health concerns. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or travel clinic for up-to-date information on vaccines or medications that may be required. We also advise you to carry insect repellent to minimize the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses.

Tanzania has a network of medical facilities, including hospitals and clinics, in major cities and some rural areas. However, we recommend having comprehensive travel insurance that covers medical expenses and emergency medical evacuation, just to be prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.

When packing for your safari, consider bringing sun protection (hats, sunscreen, sunglasses), comfortable and breathable clothing, sturdy walking shoes, and a good insect repellent. It’s also a good idea to have a basic first aid kit with essentials like band-aids, antiseptics, and any personal medications you may require.

To avoid the risk of waterborne illnesses, we recommend drinking bottled water or using water purification tablets. Most lodges and camps provide safe drinking water, but it’s best to confirm with your accommodation beforehand.
