TANZANIA

At 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest freestanding mountain in the world; it is one of the Seven Summits. The snow-capped peak of Africa is a dormant volcano and can be found inside the Kilimanjaro National Park of Tanzania.

The name Zanzibar derives from the Arabic word for black land or land of the black people, coined by the merchants who saw black people for the first time back in the day. The original inhabitants migrated from South Africa, arriving on Dhows pushed by strong wind going off course around the 5th century.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE VISITING ZANZIBAR

• TANZANIAN VISA
  For visiting Zanzibar you need a Tanzanian visa. If you’re flying straight into Zanzibar you’ll get your Tanzania visa there. It covers Zanzibar and the mainland and vice versa. Citizens from most western countries can get them on arrival. It costs $50 for a single entry. You can pay by cash or card. For US citizens the visa costs $100 but it is a multi-entry visa.

• PASSPORT
  Your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 more months and have 1 blank passport page.

• YELLOW FEVER
  If you’re flying to Tanzania and Zanzibar from places without a Yellow Fever risk (Europe, USA, Australia etc.) you shouldn’t need a Yellow Fever certificate. BUT If you are transiting through a country with a risk of Yellow Fever (Kenya, Ethiopia) for more than 12 hours – sometimes even less, you might need one. You can see the countries with the risk of yellow fever (YF) here.

• VACCINATIONS
  Besides Yellow fever, and even that with exceptions, there are no obligatory vaccinations. There are recommended ones from World Health Organisation (WHO) but consult your doctor before your visit. Recommender vaccinations are hepatitis A and B, typhoid, cholera, rabies, meningitis, tetanus … Have a look at the recommended vaccines for Tanzania here.

• TRAVEL INSURANCE
  Make sure to purchase travel insurance before your travel. I have seen two people needing medical assistance in Zanzibar. One was because of heat stroke. Another sprained her ankle. Seriously, you never know, so better be safe than sorry.

• DRESS CODE
  Majority of the population is Muslim. Respect their culture and dress appropriately. This is especially true when visiting local villages or walking around the streets in Stone town. Wearing a bikini on a beach is perfectly fine.
