  • Tanzania Travel Tips

  • - A return ticket and proof of sufficient funds are required when entering Tanzania. Visas are mandatory for all visitors except citizens of the Commonwealth, Scandinavian countries, and the Republic of Ireland. It is very easy to get a visa at any Tanzanian embassy abroad. The visa fee depends on the type of passport held. A visitors' pass is required for all travelers. This can be obtained free from any Tanzanian diplomatic mission or point of entry. It is advisable to get one before you leave home. Visit Smart African Safaris TZ for more information about Tanzania travel and tours.

  • Tanzania Travel Tips

  • - Here is some general information for tourists going to Tanzania, Africa.

    • Don't change money in the streets, even if you are given a good rate as you might be cheated. Go to a bank or foreign exchange bureau.

    • Don't go to exceptionally cheap tour operators. The services might be disappointing or vehicles might break down in the middle of a safari. You could also find poor accommodation or other problems. Try to compare prices, and choose carefully.

    • Always ride in registered taxis.

    • Don't take the fastest buses.

    • Never walk unaccompanied at night on poorly–lit or deserted streets.

    • When shopping in street bazaars, always bargain. However, some prices (e.g., in restaurants) are fixed and you might be mistaken for a miser if you start bargaining.

    • Always choose a guesthouse or lodge that has a working telephone.

  • The Best Routes for Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro

  • - The duration of climbs on Mount Kilimanjaro varies with weather and routes.

    Nowdays, Machame is more successful and can practically be classified as easy. It takes six days to get to the summit and is not expensive. The route is comfortable, enjoyable, adventurous, and historic.

    Anther good option is the Lemosho western Kilimanjaro route. It has beautiful scenery and less people. You also see and enjoy many wild animals along the way.

    Kilimanjaro Climbing Expeditions guides will help any tourist at affordable prices.

  • The Best Times to Travel to Tanzania

  • - Tanzania has a tropical climate. The central plateau is dry and arid with hot days and cool nights, while the northwest highlands are cool and temperate. June to September is the cooler season. There is no winter here. Temperatures in northern Tanzania range between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit at night from May to October. From November to March, the daytime temperatures vary from 70-90 degrees Fahrenheit and from 60­75 at night. The 'long rains' are from March to May and the 'short rains' are between October and December. The hottest months are between October and February. On the coast, it rains in November and December. From March to May, coastal areas are hot and humid although sea breezes cool the area pleasantly between June and September.

  • Travelling to Kenya

  • - As a rule of thumb, no tap water for tourists to Kenya. Mineral bottled water is sold in the super stores. Do not take pictures of government buildings; avoid the alleys in the major cities; avoid very friendly people who may want to rip you off; stay in the main avenues when walking around town; and just like any other major cities in the world, walk with as little money as possible. Always consult a reputable travel agency for your travel plans for a memorable safari in Africa.
