After all, nobody would want to regret other than enjoy their adventure in the long run. On this list, you will discover all the essentials you will need to throw into your bucket list of important items that will make up to your Safari in Tanzania.

Each of these essentials is significantly important. Ignoring any of these could make it a little bit hard to enjoy your safari and you don’t want to finance your own problem. Do you?

Your travel Itinerary

Tanzania Visa

Now that you’ve decided to go on a Tanzania safari, you should apply for a Tanzanian visa, which can be done entirely online through Tanzania’s immigration website www.immigration.go.tz and follow the friendly guidelines to successfully apply for your visa . This is a necessary aspect, among others, and doing it prior to your trip will save you a tremendous amount of time. You may pay for your Visa using a credit card or a wire transfer.

We are here to assist you. If you require additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact one of our operators.

Along with your Tanzanian Visa, the following are not less important to consider items.

• A valid Passport– All travelers must have a valid passport that covers their whole stay in Tanzania, from the first day of their safari to the last day.
• Passport Digital Scan– You must also attach a copy of your passport bio page to your e-Visa application and bring two recent passport photos with you to enter Tanzania.
• Yellow Fever Certificate
• Flight Itinerary
• Your Vaccination certificates
• Travel Insurance.

Tanzania Currency

What would you do if you didn’t have any foreign cash with you? In Tanzania, though, you may use the US dollar whether you’re from the US, Europe, or Australia. The convenience of this method of payment is that practically all restaurants accept it. Tanzania’s currency is Tanzanian Shillings, which you may exchange for other currencies. Carrying a large quantity of money through Tanzanian streets, on the other hand, is not recommended because of the risk involved.
