Traveling to Tanzania takes you to the heart of the African wilderness. Here a cheetah feeds her fuzzy little cubs, there a herd of elephants grazes with snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. Everywhere you go, a thousand strong herd of wildebeest wander the African Savannah. Tanzania’s most famous park is the Serengeti, but there are also superb smaller reserves like Tarangire, Selous, and Lake Manyara. A vast ecosystem bursting with predators and their prey exists inside the immense volcanic caldera that is the Ngorongoro Crater.
Most visitors to Tanzania will need a visa, except for citizens from some Commonwealth countries (such as Canada and the UK), Scandinavian countries, the Republic of Ireland, Rwanda, and Sudan. These exempted travelers can obtain a free visitor’s pass, valid for one to three months, upon arrival. However, travelers should be prepared to show proof of yellow fever vaccination if entering Zanzibar or if coming from a yellow fever-endemic region.
Tanzania presents several health risks, including malaria, yellow fever, cholera, hepatitis, typhoid, and tsetse fly bites. Visitors are strongly advised to take anti-malaria medication starting two weeks before their trip. It is also essential to carry mosquito repellent, especially in safari parks and lower altitudes. Additionally, visitors from East African countries must present proof of yellow fever vaccination. HIV/AIDS is a concern, though less prevalent than in some neighboring countries.
Tanzania’s diverse landscapes range from lush tropical forests along the coast to savannah and bush in the interior. Forests and woodlands cover about 37% of the country, while arable land comprises 16%. The coastal regions, including Zanzibar, experience hot and humid conditions, with temperatures averaging around 30°C. The hottest months are from October to March, while June to September offers cooler temperatures. In the Kilimanjaro area, temperatures vary from 15°C during May to August to 22°C from December to March. The central plateau is arid with hot days and cool nights, while highland areas are temperate.
The official currency of Tanzania is the Tanzanian shilling (TZS), but US dollars are also widely accepted, especially in tourist areas. It is important to note that only US dollar notes printed after 2013 are generally accepted, and those printed before 2009 may be rejected. Currency exchanges should be conducted at authorized locations, and receipts should be kept. Be cautious of card cloning at ATMs, particularly those not located inside bank premises. Inform your bank before and after your trip to monitor for fraudulent transactions. Visa is the most commonly accepted card, though transactions may incur a surcharge.
