Travel Tips
Your health and safety are top priorities while embarking on a Tanzanian safari. To ensure a safe and enjoyable adventure, here’s a comprehensive guide to help you prepare and stay protected during your trip.
Required Vaccinations: Ensure you’re up-to-date on routine vaccines such as MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) and DTP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis). The Yellow Fever vaccine is required if you’re arriving from a country with a risk of Yellow Fever.
Malaria Prevention: Tanzania is a malaria-risk area. Consult your doctor about taking malaria prophylaxis and consider packing insect repellent with DEET.
Prescription Medications: Bring enough of any prescribed medications for the duration of your trip. Carry them in their original containers along with a copy of the prescription.
Listen to Your Guide: Your safari guide is there to keep you safe. Always follow their instructions, especially when it comes to wildlife encounters.
Keep a Safe Distance: Maintain a respectful distance from all animals. Even seemingly calm wildlife can be unpredictable if approached too closely.
Stay Inside the Vehicle: On game drives, remain inside the safari vehicle unless your guide indicates it’s safe to exit. Animals often perceive vehicles as non-threatening, but that changes if you step out.
Drink Bottled or Purified Water: Always opt for bottled water or use purification tablets if needed. Avoid drinking tap water or using ice made from it.
Eat Cooked Foods:Stick to well-cooked foods and avoid raw or undercooked dishes, particularly meat and seafood.
Wash Hands Regularly:Use hand sanitizer or wash your hands with soap and water before eating or after using the restroom.
Know Your Emergency Contacts: Familiarize yourself with the emergency contact numbers in Tanzania, including those for your embassy, local hospitals, and your safari operator.
Travel Insurance: Ensure you have comprehensive travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, evacuation, and trip cancellations.
First Aid Knowledge: Basic first aid knowledge can be invaluable in remote areas. Consider taking a refresher course before your trip.
