Travel health for Tanzania

Coastal humidity in Zanzibar, dry heat on the northern safari circuit, and cold nights on Kilimanjaro.

Before you travel

Coastal humidity in Zanzibar, dry heat on the northern safari circuit, and cold nights on Kilimanjaro.

During your flight

On long flights, prolonged sitting and dry cabin air are the two most common complaints. Compression socks, regular hydration and short walks along the aisle are the usual measures.

Mosquito protection

Evening mosquito precautions are widely observed on the mainland and the coast.

Sun & heat

Altitude on Kilimanjaro raises UV sharply. Lip balm with SPF and glacier-grade eye protection matter on the trek.

Food & water

Treated or bottled water is the norm. Trekkers usually carry purification tablets or a filter bottle.

First aid

A compact set covers the basics: minor wounds, blisters, disinfection and a thermometer. Add your own prescription medicines in their original packaging.
