Travel information

From rustic safari tents in the middle of the wilderness to luxurious beach villas right on the Indian Ocean – there is something for every taste. Particularly impressive are the environmentally friendly measures that many accommodations in Tanzania are taking. Solar power, rainwater harvesting and recycling are just a few examples of how the lodge operators are committed to protecting nature.

A highlight among the accommodations is certainly the Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, which not only impresses with its breathtaking location on the edge of a volcano crater, but also with its excellent service and stylish furnishings. Here you can experience luxury and sustainability combined at the highest level.

But you can also find charming eco-lodges off the beaten tourist path that give you authentic insights into the life and culture of Tanzania. Whether in the dense rainforest or at the foot of the majestic Kilimanjaro – unforgettable experiences await you everywhere.

For a safari trip to Tanzania, certain vaccinations are essential to protect your health and minimize any risks. The recommended standard vaccinations include tetanus, diphtheria, polio and hepatitis A and B. Yellow fever vaccination is required for travels, who come from a country with high risk of yellow fever – internationally recognized proof may be required in that case upon entry.

Since there is a risk of malaria infection in some regions of Tanzania, prophylaxis is urgently recommended. It is important to seek advice about possible antimalarial medications early on. It should also be noted that some areas of the country may pose an increased risk of typhoid or rabies.

Make sure you get your vaccinations well in advance of your trip, as some vaccines take several weeks to months to become fully effective. In any case, we recommend that you consult a doctor or obtain detailed information in advance from the foreign office or the responsible tropical institute of your local country about current medical recommendations. Of course, you can also seek advice from us at any time.

Tanzania is a dream destination for many people, to be able to experience the fascinating wildlife of Africa and discover breathtaking landscapes. But the question often arises: Is Tanzania safe? The answer to that is basically yes. The East African country is considered comparatively safe for tourists as long as common precautions are followed.

Since you will be accompanied by a private guide who knows all about Tanzania from the moment you arrive at the airport right through to your return journey, you don’t have to worry about your safety. The guide will also give you safety tips such as not displaying valuables and traveling on well-lit streets. You should also always pay attention to your personal belongings.

In the national parks, wild animals can occasionally react unpredictably – so it is important to always follow the rangers’ instructions. Overall, despite isolated security concerns, Tanzania is considered a relatively low-risk travel destination, you are not harassed and can move freely. With a good dose of common sense, nothing stands in the way of a carefree stay in this beautiful country!

If you still have concerns, we advise you to take out insurance in advance. With AMREF Flying Doctors, you can take out insurance for medical assistance in more remote areas. This can be completed for 15 or 30 days: https://flydoc.org/maisha/products/. We recommend Silver Status for Tanzania.
