Tanzania is a tropical place that does need some planning. Generally speaking, vaccinations against typhoid, polio, tetanus, and yellow fever are advised. Visit your local travel clinic well in advance of your trip to learn about the necessary vaccines. It is necessary to prepare ahead since the terrain is changing.
Although Tanzania is a malarial zone, preventative measures are available and effective in your own nation. It is essential to arrange your medicines before to your trip in order to alleviate any tension in this respect.
Don’t forget to pack your preferred insect repellent to keep the bugs at bay.
The African sun can be severe. A hat and sunscreen are highly recommended and it’s always a good idea to carry a bottle of water to keep you hydrated.
Your safari guides are trained, and extremely knowledgeable, and their top priority is to keep you safe in the wild. Always listen to their advice about how to behave and what to do while on safari, most especially during the gam drives when you encounter wild animals like elephants, hippos, giraffes, and lions.
Health and safety
Unfortunately, there is a significant prevalence of HIV infection in Tanzania. For visitors on an African safari, this is often not a problem, but it is helpful to know the circumstances. Private hospitals have been thoroughly screening blood for many years.
