Tanzania – a country familiar to us from childhood. Here, you can find everything associated with Africa: Serengeti, Kilimanjaro, and Zanzibar. Unlike South Africa and Kenya, Tanzania is absolutely safe for tourists. There is no antagonism between the local population and white people. The Germans and the British colonized Tanzania for a short period and did not have time to cause significant harm. Muslims, Christians, and people of traditional beliefs live in peace and harmony.

Tourists will be divided into groups of 6 (the capacity of specially equipped ToyotaLand Cruiser SUVs).

There are no cases of attacks on tourists (although it is recommended to take usualprecautions against pickpockets), and the 1998 terrorist incident is the only one in thecountry's history

Visas can be obtained upon arrival at Zanzibar Airport. The fee is $100. Vaccination against yellow fever is recommended but not required if you arrive from North America, Asia, or Europe. Cases of malaria in Tanzania are few, but we recommend bringing mosquito repellent just in case. Due to vaccination requirements and for your convenience, we recommend tourists from North America to book connecting flights through Amsterdam, Paris, Istanbul, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, or Frankfurt. If you do not have a yellow fever vaccination, do not travel to Tanzania through other African countries (including connections through Nairobi, Kenya) or Latin America. Accommodation: 5 stars.
