Travel Advice

Best Time to Visit

Tanzania can be visited all year round. The dry season from June to October is best for wildlife safaris, while January to March is great for calving season in the Serengeti. Zanzibar beaches are beautiful throughout the year.

Visa & Entry Requirements

Most travelers need a tourist visa to enter Tanzania. It can be obtained online (e-visa) or on arrival at the airport. Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry.

What to Pack

Pack light clothing in neutral colors for safari, comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, insect repellent, and a camera. If trekking, bring proper hiking gear and warm layers.

Health & Safety

Travelers are advised to check recommended vaccinations before visiting Tanzania. Always carry travel insurance and basic personal medication.

  • Waterproof hiking boots (broken in)
  • Thermal base layers & fleece jacket
  • Waterproof & windproof jacket and pants

Yellow Fever Vaccination

Yellow fever vaccination is required for all travelers arriving from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission. You must present a valid Yellow Fever International Certificate (Yellow Card) upon arrival. Even if traveling directly from a non-risk country, it is highly recommended to get vaccinated. The vaccination should be taken at least 10 days before travel. One dose provides lifelong protection.

  • A memory for lifetime! Osward was a very good guide. We saw lions, cheetahs, elephants, buffaloes and hyenas. I will recommend Africa Merit to everyone.

    Wonderful adventure!

  • Il Serengeti era il mio sogno fin da bambino. Ho contattato Osward e insieme abbiamo creato il programma per le mie esigenze. Viaggio eccezionale, dall'arrivo alla partenza. Abbiamo visto tutti gli animali possibili grazie a George, guida espertissima.

    Un viaggio indimenticabile

  • We spent several weeks in Tanzania and Africa Merit was our number one contact. We had both a week-long hike up Kilimanjaro and a multi-day safari. Both experiences were unique — it's hard to put into words. Thanks to Africa Merit!

    Safari

  • From the beginning to the end, Osward, our guide Tadei and the rest of the staff were unbeatable. This was my third safari, but only this time we could see the Big 5! The service is super personalized and they always make sure to meet your expectations. I would always recommend Africa Merit for a visit to Tanzania!

    Amazing

  • I had a great time during my safari. I could join a group for 4 days (Serengeti-Ngorongoro-Tarangire). It was well organized and the guide, Bacari, gave a lot of valuable information about the animals. He knew his job in the parks so we saw a lot of animals. It is an unforgettable experience to see these wild animals up close!

    Unforgettable experience

  • Fantastic crew, and a nice experience with a big group! The guide and staff were really good. The guides gave us the best seeing of the animals, and we saw them really near. We were at Ngorongoro and Serengeti, and I recommend both as they were different.
