Entry and Health Regulations:
Visitors must be in possession of valid visa or travel documents on arrival in Tanzania. Different regulations are applied according to Nationality and country of origin and these should be checked with the nearest Tourist Offices or diplomatic missions.

Customs and Exit Regulations:
Personal effects, film and camera may be imported temporarily free of duty. However, a customs bond may be required in connection with professional video equipment, tape recorders, radios, musical instruments and souvenirs from other countries, to ensure that goods can be re-exported. Firearms need special permit, which must be obtained in advance. Excess baggage is strictly monitored and charges are very expensive. Custom officials normally check baggage on arrival and departure.

Currency:
There is no restriction to the amount of foreign currency a visitor may import. Only authorized dealers are allowed to exchange money. The three East African currencies of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania are interchangeable.

Medical Advise:
Tanzania enjoys a healthy, invigorating climate and visitors need feel no concern during their stay. However, malaria is endemic in certain areas and anti-malaria medication should be taken according to prescription recommendations. Visitors requiring special medication should pack sufficient supplies in their hand luggage. Chemist shops are well stocked and medication is readily available in the main cities with medicines becoming scarce as you move further from these centers of civilization. Please buy all the medicines and mineral water you may need before the safari commences.

Security:
Visitors should take the same as they would normally take in any other destination worldwide. Keep a close watch at your handbags, wallets and cameras when walking in crowd places. Avoid walking at night and place valuables in safe deposit boxes at hotels and lodges.

Supplements:
A supplemental charge will be applied to all tours operating between 16 December to 05 January and for the Easter weekend each year.

Departure Taxes:
This is normally included in the cost of the ticket or is alternatively payable in foreign currency in Tanzania.

Travel:
All the tours are based in hotel/lodge, tented camp or basic camping and such require little effort. However, East Africa is for the most part underdeveloped. It is therefore important for you to understand and accept that even the most meticulous arrangements can go wrong and that the conditions can dictate that there may be moments of discomfort and delay. Any clients booking any of our arrangements must implicitly accept the above and make any such booking subject to the booking conditions and this general information. It is our policy to constantly review the services of the handling agents, hotels, lodges and camps we use, but we can not be held responsible for the results of delays and alterations other than in those circumstances outlined in the booking conditions.

Special Diet and Needs:
In the case of special dietary needs or facilities for the disabled, let us know of these requirements at the time of making the booking.
