Arrive informed
Straightforward guidance on visas, health, packing, weather and getting around Tanzania.
Visas & entry+
Visa requirements depend on your nationality. Check current guidance with the Tanzanian immigration authorities or your nearest embassy before travel.
Health & insurance+
Comprehensive travel insurance is essential. Speak with a qualified travel-health professional well before departure about recommended vaccinations and malaria precautions.
Weather & seasons+
June to October is generally dry. November to May brings greener landscapes, migratory birds and periods of rain, with excellent safari opportunities throughout.
What to pack+
Choose neutral, lightweight layers, a warm layer for cool mornings, comfortable closed shoes, sun protection, binoculars and soft-sided luggage for light-aircraft sectors.
Money & tipping+
US dollars are widely used in tourism; notes should be in good condition. We provide a practical, no-pressure tipping guide with your final travel documents.
Connectivity & electricity+
Tanzania uses type D and G plugs with 230V electricity. Connectivity varies in the bush—many guests enjoy the chance to switch off.
