Moderate Risk Level
Malaria in Tanzania
Malaria risk is high throughout Tanzania, including Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, and all safari areas (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Lake Manyara). Risk is lower but still present above 1,800m on Kilimanjaro — prophylaxis is recommended for the approach trek even if not for the summit itself. Anti-malarial tablets are essential for all visits.
Travel Health Tips for Tanzania
Practical tips to help you stay safe, healthy, and prepared throughout your trip.
Travel tip 1
- Anti-malarial medication is essential — take as prescribed and complete the full course after returning.
Travel tip 2
- Use DEET repellent and long clothing from dusk, especially around safari camps and on Zanzibar.
Travel tip 3
- If climbing Kilimanjaro, consider altitude sickness medication (Acetazolamide) — we stock this at the clinic.
Travel tip 4
- Carry your Yellow Fever certificate — it is required for entry via Zanzibar and may be checked at mainland airports.
Travel tip 5
- Ensure travel insurance covers helicopter evacuation from Kilimanjaro and safari areas.
When to Get Vaccinated
Yellow Fever must be given at least 10 days before arrival. Plan 6–8 weeks ahead for Rabies if trekking Kilimanjaro or visiting remote areas. Same-day Yellow Fever + Typhoid + DTP available.
Best Time to Visit
June to October (dry season, best for safari wildlife viewing). January to February is also dry and good for calving season in the Serengeti. The long rains are March to May, short rains November to December.
