What vaccinations do I need for a Tanzania safari?

Vaccinations for a Tanzania safari depend on your health, vaccination history and travel route, so consult a travel clinic ideally six to eight weeks before departure. Review routine vaccines, hepatitis A and B, typhoid and malaria prevention, while checking whether your arrival route requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate.

A travel-health consultation should cover your complete itinerary, medical history and planned activities.

Discuss:

  • Routine vaccination updates.
  • Hepatitis A and B.
  • Typhoid.
  • Malaria prevention.
  • Any additional advice relevant to your activities or health.

Recommended vaccinations and mandatory entry documents are different matters. CDC guidance lists yellow fever certification for travellers aged one or older arriving from countries with yellow fever transmission risk, including certain airport transits exceeding 12 hours.

Check your exact routing before departure. If you are travelling sooner than six weeks, still seek advice rather than assuming it is too late.
