PASSPORT AND VISAS:
Most visitors require visas with exception of citizens of certain countries of the Commonwealth. It is advisable to obtain them in advance from Embassies and High Commissions as several airlines insist on them prior to departure. They can however also be obtained, on arrival, at all points of entry. Requirements may change so you are advised to contact the appropriate diplomatic or consular authority before finalizing your travel arrangements. Although part of the union of Tanzania, Zanzibar remains independent, so passports/ Tanzania visas are required even on a day’s visit.

IMMUNIZATION AND HEALTH:
The UK Department of health recommends vaccinations against hepatitis A, polio and typhoid. It is essential for visitors to make a course of anti- malaria tablets, commencing two weeks before traveling. Modern medical services are available in Dar es Salaam and other major cities but tourists are likely to themselves in remote locations far from these major centers. Cover for medical evacuation is therefore recommended in case of a medical emergence. This is especially relevant to those climbing Kilimanjaro. There are only a limited number of chemists in the country so visitors are advised to bring their own medicine with them. 

WHAT TO TAKE: 
Don’t forget your camera, camcorder and binoculars and take a torch for finding your way around your camp at night. Stock up with replacement batteries for these goods.
Take sun-glasses, hat, sun lotion, lip balm and some insect repellent, it is better not to get stung even if you are taking anti-malaria tablets.
It’s best to take any medicines required for the duration of the visit. A spear pair of glasses or contact lens is also a good idea. Take plenty of film; it is difficult to obtain outside the main centers. While travelers' cheques can be exchanged in cities and towns, banking facilities in remotes areas are restricted, so take plenty of cash.
