TANZANIA:

TANZANIA IN GENERAL
Tanzania lies on the East Coast of Africa, between 1 and 11 degrees south of Equator, covering 937,062 sq. kms. The country embraces the islands of Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia in the Indian Ocean. Population is around 35 million. For the protection of wildlife the Government has reserved a total of 247,537 sq. kms., more than 25%


CLIMATE
The climate is tropical on the coast, and temperate elsewhere. October to mid-March is the hottest period and from June to September, the coolest. However, the range of temperature is fairly limited and it is always hot. There is light rainfall in November and the rainy season is from mid-march to the end of May. The Ocean water is always warm.

VISAS
Visas are required for everyone except citizens of the Commonwealth, Scandinavia and Ireland. Before departure, you can obtain a visa from the Tanzanian Embassy or Consulate; any reputable passport service will facilitate this. You can also get your visa at the major entry points of Dar es Salaam, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar International Airports, but it's easiest to have it beforehand (and for Kenya, too, if you're transiting Nairobi). Your passport must be valid for at least six months past your departure date.



HEALTH
Yellow fever vaccination: recommended on the mainland and compulsory in Zanzibar. Visitors are advised to take anti-malaria tablets for beach holidays. Personal insurance is advised. "Flying doctors" facilities are also available. We strongly advise all of our clients to see their doctor well before departure; dentist, too.



OFFICIAL LANGUAGE, LOCAL TIME, ELECTRICITY
Kiswahili and English, GMT +3, 250 volts AC, 50 Hz



AIRPORTS
Three international airports: Dar es Salaam (DAR), Kilimanjaro (JRO) and Zanzibar (ZNZ). Several international airlines operate to Tanzania:
· KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, daily from Amsterdam to Kilimanjaro and Dar es Salaam
· British Airways, three times a week from Heathrow to Dar es Salaam, via Nairobi.
· Swissair - From Zurich to Dar es Salaam
· Gulf Air -Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar via Muscat.
· Emirates - Dar es Salaam via Dubai.
· Tanzania can also be reached via African gateways served by Air Zimbabwe, Egypt Air, Ethiopian Airways, Kenya Airways, and South African Airways.
For most of our clients, the direct KLM flight from Amsterdam to Kilimanjaro (JRO) is the most convenient. But please be aware that it is always full, so prior booking well in advance is required.

CURRENCY
The Tanzanian shilling is the official local currency but the US Dollar is most welcome. All major currencies can be converted at hotels and banks in the cities. Traveler’s checks are exchangeable in some places. Major credit cards are accepted in the larger hotels and stores but it is advisable to carry cash or traveler's checks.



CLOTHING
For safaris in the north, during the day, light clothing. Sturdy shoes are required (please, no high heels), and wide-brimmed hats. At night casual wear with a light cardigan or a pullover (the savannah is 5,000 feet above sea level and the rim of Ngorongoro is 8,000). The Kilimanjaro climb has special requirements that we will advise you on separately.

The eastern coast and islands are Moslem and women should wear modest clothes and scarves, as revealing clothes can cause offence. For safaris and climbs originating and ending at JRO, Kilimanjaro International Airport, this is not a consideration.



CUISINE
There is a variety of food. You'll find international cuisine in the hotels, restaurants and lodges. On the coast, fish and lobsters with local dishes such as birianis and meat or fish curries. Specialties: spiced tea or coffee and "Halua", a sweet desert with almonds. Drink only bottled mineral water.



WHAT TO TAKE FOR SAFARI
Don't forget the camera, camcorder and binoculars and take a flashlight for finding your way around at night. Stock up with replacement batteries. Take sunglasses, hat, sun lotion (30 SPF at least), lip balm and some insect repellent -30% DEET- it is better not to get bitten even if you are taking anti-malaria tablets. It is best to take any medicines required for the duration of the visit. A spare pair of glasses or contact lenses is also a good idea. Take plenty of film; it's difficult to obtain in the bush. While travelers checks can be exchanged in cities and towns, banking facilities in remote areas are restricted so take plenty of cash if you expect to go shopping.



ENVIRONMENT
The protection of nature is everyone's concern. On safari, do not collect or buy bones, skins, horns, teeth, feathers or shells. And on the coast do not bring back coral, shells or starfish, which play an important role in the fragile ecosystem. Do not litter; we always carry out all of our trash. The protection of culture is also everyone's concern. The guides know the local habits and customs. It is always advisable to ask permission before taking someone's picture.



SHOPPING
Locally made products are available at good prices. On the mainland, you can find batik, Tingatinga paintings, objects in ebony (cutlery, bracelets, sculptures, furniture), basket ware (baskets, hats, rugs), beaded Masai necklaces, precious jewels (gold, diamonds, tanzanite and other stones). In Zanzibar, you can find textiles (wrap-around -“ kikoi” for men and’ khanga’ for women), carved chests, perfumes, natural lotions and spices. The tourist areas and hotels sell a wide range of souvenirs and jewelry.



TIPPING
No matter how much or how little someone is paid, a tip from the people they are working for says “Thanks, you did a great job” It is best if the tips are in cash; Travelers Checks are accepted but will not yield the full value. Tips are generally expected after a climb and at the end of a safari. Tip him/her according to your appreciation.
Note; Every tour agent has his/her own tipping procedures. Follow the recommended tipping procedure from your tour agent.



SECURITY
Tanzania generally is a safe country but do not invite temptation. Keep your eye on your belongings. Don't walk at night in the town or cities, take a taxi. Don't walk with cameras or large amount of cash, and beware of pickpockets. Use hotel safety deposit boxes to safeguard valuables and obtain a receipt. Leave your jewelry and expensive watches at home.
Do not feed or otherwise approach the animals except under our supervision. They are called wild for good reason; they are not tame, no matter how cute or friendly they appear, and you are intruding upon their turf.



PHOTOGRAPHY
You can buy here or bring film and batteries with you for your camera. Protect it from dust and keep equipment and film cool. It is courteous to ask permission before photographing local people. If you intend to take a lot of wildlife pictures keep your equipment ready ... the animals don't pose and you often need to be quick. A waterproof, protective case is important on the climb.



TRANSPORT
Rental cars are available for use on the paved roads but 4 X 4 vehicles for safaris usually have to be hired with a driver. Driving is on the left, British-style. An international driving license is required for self drive. All of our vehicles are fully equipped with pop up roof hatches for game viewing and photography, and are fitted with two spare tires, an operational 'Simba' jack, H. F. Radio communication system and other accessories. Once out of town, the driving is unlike any you're likely to have seen before and you are well advised to leave the driving to us.
You're on vacation, anyway, so relax; we'll take you anywhere you want to go.
Welcome and book your tour.
