Tanzania travel tips
Visa and entry
Entry rules for Indian passport holders change, including visa-free, visa-on-arrival and e-visa schemes, so confirm the current rules on the official government or embassy website for Tanzania before booking flights. Most countries require a passport valid for at least six months beyond your return date. We check the current requirements when we prepare your quote; we cannot guarantee visa approval.
Health and safety
Buy travel insurance that covers medical treatment and evacuation; healthcare abroad can be expensive. Carry prescription medicines in their original packaging with a copy of the prescription. For current safety advice, check the travel advisories published by the Government of India and the embassy in Tanzania.
Currency and tipping
The currency is the Tanzanian shilling (TZS). Safari guides, drivers and camp staff are customarily tipped.
Best time to visit
June to October for safaris; January to February for calving season. Dry season concentrates animals around water.

- Ask before photographing people, and follow photography rules at religious sites and museums.
What to pack
Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and swimwear, comfortable walking shoes and a universal travel adapter.
