Traveller question

Is Tanzania safe, and what health steps do I need?

Health, vaccines, malaria, insurance and travel advisories for Tanzania. Check official sources before you fly.

The short answer

What you need to know

Tanzania is a popular destination, and most trips run smoothly with a licensed operator. Health rules and advisories change, so check your government's travel advice and a travel clinic close to your departure date.

Take out travel insurance that covers medical care and evacuation, and check that it covers the activity (a Kilimanjaro climb needs high-altitude cover).

  • Vaccines and malaria
