HEALTH AND VACCINATIONS
HEALTH ON SAFARI
It is all guests’ personal responsibility to consult your local GP or health advisory bureau regarding updated information on vaccination and health requirements prior to your safari. It is recommended that you get your vaccinations 4-8 weeks prior to departure. We recommend that you get your Covid19 vaccination.
Please ensure you get a certificate stamped by your doctor, or yellow international vaccination
card to comfirm you have received the relevant vaccinations.
Malaria precautions are essential, and your local physician can advise the best course of action, which typically includes using mosquito repellent and wearing long-sleeved shirts, trousers, shoes, and socks in the evenings. Most safari accommodations provide mosquito nets, spray, and insect-proof tents. As malaria strains change constantly, consult relevant professional bodies for updated information.

Common travel issues include sunstroke, dehydration, sunburn, and diarrhea, so it's essential to use good sunblock, drink plenty of water, and avoid excessive alcohol and caffeine. Bring rehydration salts, Imodium, Paracetamol, antihistamine cream or tablets, and any personal medication. Eat only in tourist lodges and camps, avoiding local establishments. Clean drinking water is widely available in safari vehicles and all lodges and camps throughout your safari in Tanzania.
