To Travel Safe In Tanzania

Most travellers coming to any African country have a pre-conceived notion of Africa being an unsafe place to travel to especially because of the pirate activities and political unrest in some countries. However, it is not true. Some places in Africa, and Tanzania in particular, are as safe as your own home country. That’s not to say that it is a safe heaven. Crime occurs in Tanzania targeting tourists and foreigners. But even famous tourist cities like Paris, London, and New Delhi are not free from these activities as well. By taking few measures and precautions, you can be assured of a safe Tanzanian travel experience like millions of tourists.

1.    Make A Copy Of Your Passport And Keep It In Your Luggage

Passport is one of the most important travel documents you'll be carrying in your Tanzania Safari Tour. It serves as your identity and citizenship of a country. If in case you lose your original passport, a copy of your passport will come handy in situations where you'll need to show one. Not only for passport, it is highly advised that you get a photocopy of every document that you possess during the tour.

2.    Stay Away From The Border Zones

Tanzanian borders with Burundi, Rwanda, and Democratic Republic of Congo among other countries. The border regions with these three countries should be avoided at any cost as these are highly tensed area. The political unrest and terrorism in Burundi, armed conflicts and bandit activities in Rwanda, and frequent armed rebel clashes in DR Congo have been a headache for the whole Africa for a long time. So going to these border zones should be avoided as much as possible.

3.    Get Properly Vaccinated Prior To Your Tour

As Tanzania is an African country where diseases are rampant, it is recommended that you take proper vaccination before coming here. Although not mandatory, it is advised that you take vaccinations of typhoid, hepatitis A and B, cholera, yellow fever, and influenza. Always stay up to date about any disease outbreaks in the region that you’re planning to visit to and take vaccinations for that and get required medicines along with you.

Here are few other tips you should take care of:

·         Don't wear jewellery or use expensive gadgets in crowded places.

·         Don't carry too much cash with you.

·         Wear a money belt that fits under your clothes

·         Don't take with you a lot of camera equipments.

·         Don't walk on your own at night in the major cities or on empty beaches especially in Pemba and Zanzibar.
