Tanzania Travel Advice

Before visiting Tanzania, there are a few things you should know. We've drawn up a list of some travel advice. Let's explore it:

Health - When entering Tanzania, you must show documentation of complete COVID-19 vaccines with a QR code. You will be required to show a negative COVID-19 (PCR) test with a QR code taken within 72 hours of departure if you are not completely vaccinated.

• Pre-departure testing and testing upon arrival are exempted for travellers who show a valid certificate of complete vaccination against COVID-19.
• Upon arrival, all passengers are subject to health inspections including temperature checks and visual inspections.

Travellers must finish a ‘public health surveillance form’ online 24 hours before arrival in Zanzibar - https://healthtravelznz.mohz.go.tz/traveller/#/home

Upon completion, you will obtain a ‘unique health code’ that you must give when you arrive.

Currency - In the major towns, ATMs are accessible. Some high-end hotels accept credit cards, but not always. In tourist destinations, tipping is customary.

• At the major banks, bureau de change, and some hotels, you can exchange money and traveller’s checks.

Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam airports offer exchange services around-the-clock. The US dollar, British pound, and euro are the most convenient currencies to exchange.

Safety and Security - Tanzania has a comparatively low crime rate. However, you should still exercise all reasonable precautions. Like, don't go out and drive at night. Don't leave your belongings unattended either.

Keep a safe distance from the wildlife while on game drives in Tanzania's national parks, and obey the guidance of tour guides and park officers.

Entry Requirements

• To enter Tanzania, you must have an international passport that’s valid for at least six months.
• Most nationalities require a visa to enter Tanzania for either business or tourism.
• Before leaving, you should obtain one from the Tanzanian embassy or consulate nearest to you.
• A yellow fever certificate is required. Immigration officers may request to see Yellow Fever vaccination records or exemption records upon arrival.

Tanzania entry requirements vary from nation to nation and are subject to change. Always confirm what documentation you require for travel to Tanzania with your government and the Tanzanian embassy or consulate in your area before leaving.

Make sure to abide by the above-mentioned travel guidance provided by the Tanzanian government. And we send our best wishes for a joyful trip and secure travels!
