Useful Tanzania Travel Tips

• Health: A yellow fever vaccination certificate is essential if arriving from yellow fever infected areas. Anti-malaria tablets are recommended. Take prescribed drugs a few days prior to arrival, during your stay, and for a short period after returning. Boil or sterilize drinking water and milk. Cook or peel vegetables. Private health insurance is recommended.

• Currency: There is no restriction on the importation of foreign currency. Foreign currency can be changed at the bureau de change, which offers better rates than the banks.

• Insurance: You are strongly advised to have your own insurance to cover baggage, personal accidents, and medical expenses.

• Tipping: Tipping is not obligatory. Gratuities are at the discretion of the visitor.
