How to go

VISA AND OTHER PROCEDURES

Passport valid for six months is required and a visa can be obtained upon arrival in Tanzania. It costs around €50. If you pay in US dollars, it is better to have newer bills, preferably after 2006.

Yellow fever vaccine may be required for passengers from countries at risk of contagion or who have passed through those countries or their airports for more than 12 hours.

TRIP TO TANZANIA

Due to its distance and location, Tanzania is a destination that will always require you to fly with two or even more stopovers and pay a hefty price for the return flight, usually a minimum of €900.
