Tanzanian African Safari Traveling Checklist
Customs
Personal effects, including cameras and binoculars, may be brought in free of duty. A customs bond may be demanded from those bringing in video, camcorders, radios, tape recorders, and musical instruments to insure the goods are re-exported. Firearms and pocketknives require special permits. There is duty free allowance of 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars or 250 grams of tobacco, and one pint of spirits. Visitors who have purchased local handmade items must keep their sales receipts for presentation to customs officials on departure.
Health & Immunization
Modern medical services are available in big cities and towns. However, visitors are advised to bring their own medicines with them. Visitors from countries infected with cholera and yellow fever must produce international vaccination certificates. Anti-malaria medication is strongly recommended when traveling to East Africa. It is recommended that anti-malaria tablets be taken a few days prior to your arrival, during your stay, and for a short period after returning home.
Insurance
We require that all clients arrange personal travel insurance to cover their medical care, property, and other personal risks for the duration of their safaris.

You must be in possession of a current passport that remains valid for at least 6 months beyond your scheduled departure date from Tanzania. Most visitors do require visas with the exception of citizens from commonwealth countries. It is advisable to obtain visas prior to your departure, as several airlines insist on seeing them upon arrival at the major international airports and at the Namanga gate on the Tanzania/Kenya border.
