Frequently Asked Questions
Is Tanzania a safe country?
Tanzania is one of the safest countries to travel in. Tanzanians are kind and generous people and are eager to help visitors get the most out of their stay. Tanzania is a true example of tolerance and cooperation in our modern world, with an evidenced multicultural diversity that has co-existed for centuries and has a lot to offer the world by its example.
However, as in all countries in the world, a little common sense goes a long way and rational precautions should still be taken, such as locking valuables in the hotel safe, which frees your mind to soak up the natural beauty and incredible insights.
What about Health?
There are mosquitoes in Tanzania so travelers should be well prepared. You will need to bring repellent for mosquitoes and other insects. In coastal area and in the area around Rift valley you will encounter possibly a lot of mosquitoes. Make you take Malaria prevention before and during your travel to Tanzania. It is also recommended that you vaccinations against hepatitis A, polio and typhoid. Refer to your local health authorities to finalize your immunization recommendations and requirement
Can I combine Trekking with a Wildlife safari?
Yes, and it’s a rewarding way to experience Tanzania’s two greatest landscapes—mountains and savannahs. After completing your Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing adventure, it’s surprisingly easy to transition into a Tanzania Wildlife Safari.
The airport you’ll likely fly into, Kilimanjaro International, sits right between the mountain and the northern Tanzania National Parks. That means you can go from summiting Africa’s tallest peak to watching elephants roam the wild plains of Tarangire or catching the golden light sweep across Serengeti.

What about Travel & Health insurance?
Safari360 does not process travel insurances. We therefore advise that you consult your travel insurance broker when planning your trip. It is very important that you get travel insurance to cover health costs, your properties, and other things during the travel period. Safari360 is a member of AMREF Flying doctors based in Nairobi with their branch in Arusha and through this we usually issue evacuation insurance cards to clients before the start of safari. This includes light aircraft with skilled doctors for pickup from isolated airstrips in the national parks, game reserves and anywhere else. This service covers only evacuation to the hospital and does not replace your medical Insurance. Medical bills have to be settled directly by the patient.
Which Language is used in Tanzania?
The official language of Tanzania is Kiswahili, which is spoken by the majority of the population who also speak tribal languages (about 120). English is also spoken and understood by many especially in towns. Our guides are fluent in English, French, Spanish, Italian, and Germa.
