• You need a visa for Tanzania if you have a United States passport. You can obtain an e-visa here. Please apply soon as it can take a few days to process.
  
• Travelers must complete an online Health Surveillance Form 24 hours before arrival in Zanzibar. Complete the form here.
  
• Travelers are recommended to have a valid COVID-19 vaccination certificate.
  
• Possible thermal and physical screening on arrival at random.

Currently, travelers with US passports require Visas for Tanzania. For nationalities that are required to obtain a Visa on arrival, we recommend that you obtain your Visa in advance to avoid delays on arrival at the airport. You must be able to produce a return ticket on arrival in Tanzania. Passports must be valid for six months after the date of travel and you are required to have two blank pages in your passport.

Always check the most recent regulations with your nearest Tanzanian High Commission or Embassy before traveling. Further details are available on the Tanzania Ministry of Home Affairs website.

October is a transition month in Zanzibar, so you might experience a mix of sunny days and occasional rain showers. It's a less crowded time to visit the island compared to the peak tourist season, which can make it a good choice for travelers looking for a more tranquil experience.

Malaria is prevalent in Tanzania and we recommend taking anti-malarial tablets.

The most important defenses against malaria are:

• Apply insect repellent to exposed skin.
  
• Wear long-sleeved cotton clothing from dusk into the evening.
  
• Tabard and Peaceful Sleep are commonly used insect repellents.

The Yellow Fever vaccination is no longer officially required when entering Tanzania. It is however still a requirement if you wish to visit Zanzibar. Although the vaccination certificate is not always requested, it can be in some instances, particularly when traveling from a country where Yellow Fever is present, and guests should be aware that not having the certificate may lead to denied entry.

Always check the latest recommendations with your travel clinic or doctor. We do not recommend drinking the tap water in Tanzania and advise that you drink bottled water.

Tipping during your holiday is not compulsory. If, however, you want to tip because you have received good service, we have enclosed a brief guideline to assist you:

Currency: We advise clients to take spending money in the form of US Dollar cash, as this is favored on most excursions for tips, drinks and curios. Credit cards are generally accepted.

Transfers: We recommend about US$10 per transfer for the driver per movement.

Touring Driver and/or Guides: For half day tours we recommend about US$20 and for a full day tour we recommend US$30 per day.

Porterage: We recommend about US$5 per guest per movement.

Hotel Staff: We recommend about US$40 per room per day for hotel staff i.e. housekeeping, etc. In some instances where you are allocated a butler or dedicated waiter for the duration of your stay at a specific property, you could tip about US$20 per room per day.

Restaurants: 10 - 15% is customary on meal accounts if you are satisfied with the service.
