Health Precautions and Vaccinations

Tanzania is a beautiful destination, but it’s essential to take health precautions before your trip. Check with your doctor or a travel clinic about recommended vaccinations such as Yellow Fever, which is required if you're coming from or transiting through a Yellow Fever-endemic country.


Malaria is present in many areas of Tanzania, so taking anti-malarial medication is advised. Use mosquito repellent and wear long-sleeved clothing, especially during the evening. It’s also wise to carry a basic first aid kit, including prescription medications, as some remote areas may not have easy access to medical facilities.


Lastly, consider getting travel insurance that includes medical coverage. Make sure it covers activities like trekking or safaris, as well as emergency evacuation in case of any unforeseen incidents.
