Tanzania Travel FAQs

First and foremost, it is to be clear that food and water-borne illnesses can happen in any country that you travel. All you need to do is maintain a good level of personal sanitation while traveling and take some precautionary measures while consuming your food and drinking water.

For the most part, Tanzania’s food is safe to eat. However, it is advisable not to eat cold or pre-prepared foods and reheated food, for example in street stalls or hotel buffets. Likewise, drinking tap water is very unsafe in Tanzania. To avoid any kind of health hazards, we recommend drinking bottled, treated or filtered water. Using bottled water for brushing your teeth is also a beneficial option to stay away from any bacterial infection. We do not recommend eating raw fruits or vegetables that have not been peeled. Even if you eat some fruits, make sure to wash them properly with filtered or bottled water. The ice content in your drinks is not safe as well – you don’t know the source of the water used to make ice, so better stay off from it! It is best to avoid salads and eat your dairy products that are pasteurized.

When you are in Tanzania, there will lots of opportunities to intermingle with the local people who are very friendly with foreign tourists. You will definitely be able to experience some of the cultures of Tanzania depending on how much time you wish to spend in the country. Swahili is a culture of Arab-African mix prevalent in Tanzania with other big Asian communities, particularly Indians in the urban areas. The Maasai tribes inhabiting the rural areas, especially in the northern regions are among the best known populations having distinctive customs and red robes.

To explore some of the best cultural experiences in Tanzania, you must not miss the following:

You will find a number of accommodation options on your Tanzania holidays. Luxurious lodges can be found in the national park regions and safari circuits that may vary greatly from a three to five star level. Heritage buildings have been used for accommodation in the winding alleys of Stone Town while sprawling resort style accommodations will be found on the Zanzibar Island. Hotels in Tanzania vary from the expensive luxury hotels in cities and popular tourist areas to mid-range universal and cheap BB hotels in the regional towns.

There are safari lodges and public campsites in all national parks and game reserves. Luxury tented camps have the amenities similar to that of a hotel or a lodge with en-suite bathrooms, restaurants and swimming pools while simple camps have basic facilities including toilets and showers. Most of the lodges are basic aimed at families and tour groups while a few top-end luxury lodges come in an exorbitant price.  Most visitors who come to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro will sleep in the tents during their climb, or at huts in some of the climbing routes.

To start with, Tanzania has a huge opportunity for family safari and beach holidays owing to the abundant wildlife, copious sandy beaches and a feasible logistic approach. There are so many choices of Zanzibar beach holidays in combination with safari trips without any long internal flights that makes it a perfect destination for kids and family. The enjoyment of the adventure truly flows between children, parents and grandparents in such a way that it creates a fond memory to cherish forever. If carefully planned and considered on several fronts while designing an ideal family itinerary, you are assured of fabulous Tanzania family holidays.

It may initially seem intimidating when you plan a family trip to Tanzania, but once you weigh the pros and cons of the journey, it is more tempting. So, in a nutshell, Tanzania is surely a good family destination and the kids will really make the most out of their holidays in Tanzania.

No, it is very unsafe to drink tap water in Tanzania. The tap water is not considered fit for drinking purposes as they are polluted with harmful elements. We highly recommend you to use tap water only for showering or cleaning your hands, and not even for washing your fruits or vegetables. Restaurants may provide bottled water but make sure that the water is from a branded company and the seal is intact. However, branded bottled water may not be available everywhere especially when you are on a safari trip or climbing peaks. During these times, ask for treated water or boiled and filtered water. If you insist on drinking bottled water, make sure to check the seal because it may have been refilled carelessly by an unscrupulous water dealer. To evade other health issues, use either filtered or bottled water for brushing your teeth as well.

Tanzania is known to be a safe and hassle-free country especially tourists. As long as you are traveling with a registered tour operator, you are not exposed to any potential threats whatsoever. Taking all necessary precautions and following the travel norms set by the government should be considered while you are traveling in Tanzania to avoid unwanted dangers. Terrorism incidents are rare in the country; there are no Muslim extremists or life-threatening activities happening. Petty thefts and street muggings may be widespread in tourist hotspots and city areas.

Other languages spoken in the country are the native languages of the various ethnic groups of the Bantu and Nilotic origin. Most of Tanzania’s population is confident in their mother tongue while the general populace has substantial knowledge of English. During the country’s British colonial era, English was commonly used in Tanzania.  English together with the Swahili language has been used as a medium of instruction in schools since Independence. As Tanzania has developed into one of the world’s most visited destinations, local people have been taking special language courses including English and other foreign languages to earn their livelihoods by guiding the tourists to the mountains, beaches and the national parks.

Tanzania has four international airports and over 100 small airports or landing strips throughout the country. From the four, the 3 main airports which people frequently fly into Tanzania are:

• Kilimanjaro International Airport (lies between Moshi and Arusha) (IATA code: JRO)
• Julius Nyerere International Airport (Dar es Salaam) (IATA code: DAR)
• Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (Zanzibar) (IATA code: ZNZ)

Unfortunately, there are no direct flights from North America to any of Tanzania’s International Airports. It means that if you are traveling to Tanzania from North America, you will have to choose from the options:

1. Make two stops en route
2. Make a single stop in Istanbul or in Amsterdam

Turkish Airlines is operating direct flights from 13 cities in North America to Istanbul, and then fly directly to Tanzania. Likewise, KLM has rather more options of connecting the North American destinations to Tanzania via Amsterdam. Other option of getting into Tanzania from North America would be flying into Nairobi, Kenya and then entering Tanzania either by road or by flight. Similarly, you can fly into Dar es Salaamfrom any of the cities like Dubai (Emirates), Abu Dhabi (Etihad Airways), Cairo (Egypt Air), Addis Ababa (Ethiopian Airlines), Muscat (Oman Air), Doha (Qatar Airways), Johannesburg (South African Airways), Harare (Air Zimbabwe), Lusaka (FastJet), Mombasa (Kenya Airways), or Malawi (Malawian Airlines), if you manage to get there by some means.

The only two direct routes from Europe to Tanzania are KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Turkish Airlines. KLM flies daily from Amsterdam to Dar es Salaam and Kilimanjaro while Turkish Airlines flies to the same destinations from Istanbul. Other option of getting into Tanzania from Europe would be flying into Nairobi and getting connected to Kenya Airways to most of the airports of Tanzania.

The options of getting into Kenya’s Nairobi include British Airways from London Heathrow, Air France from Paris, Swiss Air from Zurich, Brussels Airlines from Brussels, Lufthansa from Frankfurt, and Kenya Airways from London Heathrow or Amsterdam. However, if you are flying into Dar es Salaam, you can connect from cities like Dubai (Emirates), Abu Dhabi (Etihad Airways), Cairo (Egypt Air), Addis Ababa (Ethiopian Airlines), Muscat (Oman Air), Doha (Qatar Airways), Johannesburg (South African Airways), Harare (Air Zimbabwe), Lusaka (FastJet), Mombasa (Kenya Airways), or Malawi (Malawian Airlines). Some of these airlines also operate through the routes into Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar.

There are no direct flights from South America to Tanzania. The most feasible route would be a flight from Sao Paulo, Brazil to Johannesburg, South Africa with South African Airways and getting connected onwards to Dar es Salaam. Other options are rather less convenient and also would take longer time for the entire journey. These options are connecting flights of Emirates, Turkish Airlines, KLM and Ethiopian Airlines from European or Middle East hubs

Unfortunately, there are no airlines operating anywhere in Asia that has direct flights to Tanzania. Asian travelers would have to either to fly to Europe or the Middle East to fly into Tanzania. However, Kenya Airways operates three direct flights to the major Asian cities of Mumbai, Bangkok and Hanoi. You can fly into Nairobi and then onward connect to any of the Tanzanian gateways.

Most of the phones that have been previously unlocked will work in Tanzania. It is to be noted that Tanzania uses GSM 900 and 1800 while USA uses GSM 850 and 1900.

Most parents may be wondering whether it is possible to trek with children in Tanzania. The simple answer is yes! Children aged 10 and above are eligible to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. However, you will want to prepare them very well for the famous climb to Africa’s highest mountain peak.

Do a proper health checkup of your child before the climb and take the necessary medications or vaccination if necessary. Make sure to insure for your kid’s travel and health. Get your child prepared thoroughly, both mentally and physically. You also need to take utmost care while selecting the required hiking gears and equipment to protect your kid from all weather conditions, be it rain or snow. It is very important to take your child on short hikes in your native country at higher altitudes to get acclimatized with thin air. The last and a significant one, listen very carefully to what your tour operator and your guides have to say regarding the climb.

It is not new when people talk about Mt. Kilimanjaro when you ask them about their experiences of hiking in Tanzania. For several obvious reasons, Kilimanjaro has repeatedly made headlines in the news while thousands of hikers have embarked to claim the summit of Africa’s highest mountain peak. Beyond the ever famous Kilimanjaro, Tanzania has other popular hiking and trekking opportunities which are all worth buckling up your hiking boots for. The following are some of the most popular hiking choices apart from Mt. Kilimanjaro:

• Meru
• Olmoti Crater – Ngorongoro Conservation Park
• Empakai Crater – Ngorongoro Conservation Park
• Ol Doinyo Lengai Volcano – Ngorongoro Conservation Park
• Udzungwa Mountains
• Pugu Hills
• Empakai to Ol Doinyo Lengai Volcano

Before taking up any of the above popular hiking trips, you need to know that all of these spectacular walks require a good level of fitness. Also, you need to keep yourself hydrated in the hot climate by drinking plenty of water and fluids. We do not recommend you going out without a professional guide.

Hiking in Tanzania is not as challenging as a serious mountaineering struggle and climbing the most popular Mt. Kilimanjaro doesn’t require you to be extremely fit. But yes, you need to prepare your body in accordance to the specific requirements of the trek. Mental determination as well as stamina will be equally decisive whether or not your trip will be fruitful. In addition, preparing physically for the hike will play a major role in contributing to your diligence level, conviction and personal gratification. Or else, the first few days of hiking will be so exhausting that you will run out of energy when needed the most.

More than the extent of fitness, the type of fitness is rather significant while hiking in Tanzania. The best preparation that we can suggest to travelers is to hike, rather under similar conditions of your actual hiking destination. In addition, do regular gym workouts and go out for regular walks.

Tanzania features spectacular hiking and trekking spots apart from the theatrical wildlife prospect and widespread beach locations. Hiking undoubtedly takes on a high profile in a country like Tanzania that boasts for owing the world’s tallest free-standing mountain. In fact, you should go hiking in Tanzania if you wish to explore the exotic    flanks of Tanzania. You should hike in Tanzania if you want to hiking is the best way to experience the sensations of the stunning mountainous expanses of Tanzania and to engage in the wonderful nature.

You will stumble upon plenty of budget travelers in Tanzania if you think that the country is expensive. It is a fact that the national park fees are very high, but if you don’t pay them, then you won’t be able to see the wildlife or climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Safari tours can be expensive as well, but you have choices of accommodations and services to make it seem cheaper. Apart from these activities, Tanzania is actually a very cost-effective country to visit. It all depends on how expensive you want your Tanzania holiday. Purchase a San Pelgrini water bottle at the Grand Hyatt for $15 or then buy a bottle of Dasani across the street for $1 – that’s your choice! Sleep at a luxurious 5 star hotel or just stretch your feet at some budgeted hostel or a lodge, it all matters.

Tanzania is probably in the bucket list of millions of travelers. But, just like with any other travel destinations in the world, there are some threats and forewarnings to be alert of before you go. Although Tanzania is mostly safe to visit, precautions should be taken in places such as Arusha, Stone Town (Zanzibar) and Dar es Salaam. Crimes like street muggings, petty thefts and bag-snatching are very common in the touristic places in Tanzania. Walking and traveling alone at night could pose severe threat, especially to isolated places and secluded beach areas. Displaying of a huge amount of money or valuable jewelry items is dangerous too.

Tanzania safari is safe, of course! When you book with an authorized safari operator, there is less chance that your trip could be messed up in terms of safety concerns. It is really very important that you choose an experienced and expert team of professionals to lead your safari tour. Crimes like petty thefts or robbery is quite common in the cities, so during your safari you will be out of city area. Incidents like thefts and bag-snatching or mugging can be actually easily avoided when you take a few safety precautionary measures.

During your safari tour, mosquitoes could possess a health menace. So, it is necessary that you be prepared for shielding the pricks and contracting malaria or dengue from them. In fact, the risk of catching malaria or dengue will be a bigger anxiety rather than being assaulted by a wild animal during a game drive. However, considering all things, the track records of Africa’s safari contribution in terms of health and safety are exceptional.
