When visiting Tanzania, especially for a safari or outdoor adventure, it's essential to pack wisely to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable trip. Here's a list of items to bring with you:

• Travel Documents:

  • Passport with a minimum of six months validity.
  • Visa (if required; check Tanzania's entry requirements).
  • Photocopies of important documents.

• Vaccination and Health Documents:

  • Yellow fever certificate (required for entry).
  • Immunization records and necessary vaccinations (consult your healthcare provider).
  • Personal medications and prescriptions, if applicable.

• Clothing:

  • Lightweight and breathable clothing for hot days.
  • Long-sleeved shirts and pants to protect against the sun and insects.
  • Warm clothing for cooler evenings, especially in highland areas.
  • Comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots for outdoor activities.
  • Sandals or flip-flops for casual wear.
  • Swimsuit (if your itinerary includes beach or water activities).

• Outdoor Gear:

  • Sun hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen with a high SPF.
  • Insect repellent.
  • Rain jacket or poncho (especially if travelling during the wet season).
  • Daypack for excursions and hikes.
  • Binoculars for wildlife viewing.
  • Camera and extra memory cards for capturing the stunning landscapes and wildlife.

• Cash and Banking:

  • Tanzanian Shillings (local currency) for small expenses.
  • Credit/debit cards for larger purchases (notify your bank of your travel plans).
  • U.S. dollars in small denominations for emergencies.

• Remember that the specific items you need may vary depending on your itinerary and preferences. It's important to check with your tour operator or accommodation provider to see what items they might provide, such as camping equipment, before overpacking.
• Also, note that while Tanzania is relatively well-equipped, especially in major cities and tourist areas, some items may be harder to find in remote locations, so it's wise to come prepared.
• Note that payment by credit card will be an additional 5% as Bank charges are being charged by the bank in Tanzania. Payment by Telegraphic Transfer will attract an additional USD 50 per transfer as Bank charges.
• Please note that this is a sample itinerary and can be customized based on your preferences, available time, and budget. Combining Bagamoyo’s cultural experiences with Selous Game Reserve’s wildlife encounters provides a diverse and enriching safari experience in Tanzania. Plan your safari with a reputable tour operator to ensure a well-organized and memorable journey.
