The Tanzanian government only requires immunization against yellow fever. In addition, we strongly recommend prevention against malaria. Be sure to consult your family doctor and ask if he or she recommends any additional immunizations or shots for you. For detailed, up-to-the-minute information on immunizations, shots, and health and safety advisories for travelers, you can visit the Centers for Disease Control Traveler’s Health website: wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/destinationTanzania.aspx

Customs
Tanzania is one of the most hospitable and friendly countries in Africa with a history of peaceful co existence. Please respect all local customs especially when visiting Muslim communities.
It is offensive in many areas for women to walk around with exposed shoulders and wear short skirts or shorts – as a general rule this should be observed in all areas of Tanzania. Also passing and receiving items with your left hand is offensive to Muslim society so bear this in mind in shops and restaurants when exchanging money. Always ask before taking a photograph. If you are asked for money think how you would feel if people kept pointing a camera at you.
When haggling remember that the average monthly wage in Tanzania is about US$50, it is best to give a fair price related to the value the item means to you. That last 50 cents could mean feeding an extra meal to a family.

Dangers/Annoyances
Tanzania is without doubt one of the safest countries in Africa but there is also incredible poverty and as such there is always a slight risk of crime. However basic precautions should make your stay completely trouble free.
Use common sense at all times when walking around the cities, e.g. don’t walk around with anything which you do not want to lose.
Keep photocopies of all important documentation separate from the originals so if you do lose anything replacement will be easier. Bus and train stations always attract petty thieves chancing their luck, be extra careful when traveling and never leave baggage unattended. On safari don’t forget that animals are in their own natural habitat, always listen to and follow the advice of your safari guide.
The old adage take only photographs leave only footprints should always apply. It is illegal to take home seashells, turtle shells and animal skins – they will be confiscated if found at the airport. Please do not buy any of these items as it encourages the desecration of Tanzania’s natural resources.
