The journey is always accompanied by a certified guide/driver for optimal knowledge, information, and individual attention.
Visa
For travel to Tanzania, you must have a valid Dutch passport that is still valid for at least 6 months after your return from the trip, and an entry visa. It is best to arrange this before departing from the Netherlands at the Embassy in The Hague.
There also need to be sufficient blank pages next to each other in the passport for the necessary stamps.

Time difference
The time difference is 1 hour in the summer months, and 2 hours in the winter months.
Banks and finance
With the exception of Dar es Salaam (from 09:00 to 15:00) and Kilimanjaro Airport (24 hours a day), banks in Tanzania
Generally open only in the mornings on weekdays.
All major hotels and most lodges are licensed to exchange foreign currency and travellers' cheques.
In Arusha there are 2 cash machines (but be aware that these do not always work). Travellers cheques in US dollars, credit cards (VISA, Mastercard and Barclay) are widely accepted.
American Express is not accepted.
Cash in US dollars only and in small denominations. The local currency is the Tanzanian shilling.
Health and Safety
The sun in Tanzania is warmer and more intense than you can imagine. Even on a cloudy day, you can still get badly burnt.
A good sun cream (at least SPF 30) is therefore essential, as are a good sun hat and sunglasses.
Drink plenty, but never from the tap; it's better to buy bottled water. Most hotels and lodges will provide drinking water in your room.
Hospitals and healthcare
There are small district hospitals located throughout Tanzania. Larger hospitals are only found in Arusha and Dar es Salaam.
It is therefore also important to inquire about recommended vaccinations and malaria prophylaxis well in advance of departure.
It's also a good idea to put together a small travel first-aid kit with, among other things, Imodium for diarrhoea, ORS, etc. (also take a look at www.gezondheidsnet.nl/reisapotheek
The Flying Doctors Society of Africa offers temporary membership for tourists for a small fee. In return, “members” receive free air transport to a hospital or medical centre in the event of a serious accident or severe illness while on safari.
Malaria
The best way to prevent malaria is to make sure you don't get bitten. During dusk (morning and evening) wear long trousers and long-sleeved shirts and use the insect repellent DEET on ankles, hands, and neck.
In addition, it is highly recommended to take good malaria prophylaxis. Please consult your GGD for more information.
Photography
In Tanzania, it is forbidden to take photographs of the President, the police, military personnel, prisons, and airports.
If you wish to take a photograph of the local people, it is advisable to ask for permission beforehand.
For you, it may be a treasured memory of your holiday, but many Tanzanian residents are superstitious and do not want you to take their photograph. Keep your camera in a dust-free bag or container.
Transport
Transport during the trip is by 4×4 Land Cruiser safari vehicle. Comfortable travel and excellent for game drives.
Travel – Cancellation Insurance
Taking out travel insurance is mandatory. It is recommended to take out cancellation insurance.
If the insurance policies are not taken out via AfrikaOnline, we kindly request you to provide the name of the insurer and the policy numbers for both insurances to AfrikaOnline by email as soon as possible and well before your departure.

This trip is suitable for children, and although the distances between the different parks can be a bit large, there's plenty of time to stop along the way and interesting things to see en route.
