An African Safari is an unforgettable travel experience, it touches something deep within us and it is an experience that will never be forgotten.

Yellow Fever
All travellers coming into Tanzania from any Yellow fever infected country (such as neighbouring countries like Kenya) must carry a valid Yellow Fever certificate.  You may be asked to show it on arrival.  Surprisingly this requirement is also for visitors arriving in Zanzibar from mainland Tanzania !!

Malaria
Malaria is endemic throughout these areas.  There are a number of prophylactics available and be sure to obtain one from your physician and follow his directions.  If, despite taking recommended drugs, you feel unwell and feverish, seek medical advice as soon as possible.  If you are already in the UK, please do not forget to mention that you have been in a Malaria Zone.

Stomach Upsets
It is advisable to carry medication supplied by your physician for simple stomach upsets.  In the first few days of your trip you may suffer from mild upsets attributable to a change in food and water.

Other
We do recommend that you consult your doctor about other recommended injections, normally the advice is that Typhoid and Hepatitis injections should be taken.  The BA travel clinic (0207 4399584) or Trailfinders (0207 9383999) can provide advice about these requirements.

Sun
At the higher altitudes and nearer the Equator, the sun can be dangerous.  You will be wise to wear hats in the heat of the day and make use of a good sun block and reputable sun tan lotion or cream, especially if you are visiting Zanzibar and the beach.
