A valid passport is required for citizens of all nations. Your passport must be valid for six months after travel. All visitors to Africa are required to have a minimum of two blank pages in their passport book, so that there is space for entry visas and stamps. If there is insufficient space in the passport, entry into the country will be denied.
Kenya: As of 1/25/24, Kenya no longer requires a visa. In lieu of a visa, citizens from all nations outside Kenya and the East African Community partner states must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) prior to arrival in Kenya. This should be kept on your person or in the hotel safe deposit box.
Tanzania: A multiple-entry visa is required for Tanzania for US citizens.
For non-US citizens, please check with your consulate for specific requirements.
More specific information about how to obtain the eTA and Tanzania visa will be sent no later than 3 months prior to the trip. The visa and the eTA cannot be obtained any earlier than 90 days prior to the trip.
No immunizations are required to enter Kenya if arriving from the United States, Canada or Europe. However, Tanzania does require proof of a yellow fever vaccination. Carry your International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP), as you’ll be asked to present it upon entering Tanzania as proof that you have received the vaccination. Any Yellow Fever vaccination you have had, even over 10 years ago, is good for your lifetime.
If for medical reasons you cannot receive a yellow fever vaccination, you must carry a valid waiver certificate along with a signed and dated exemption letter on a physician’s stationery. The letter must clearly state the contraindications to vaccination and bear the stamp used by the yellow fever vaccination centers to validate the International Certificate of Vaccination for Yellow Fever. Your entry and departure dates from each country on your itinerary should also be indicated in the letter. If you do not have this valid waiver certificate and signed and dated letter on a physician’s stationary, you will not be allowed into Tanzania.
Additionally, your routine immunizations should be up-to-date, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also recommends a malaria prophylactic, such as anti-malaria pills. While the odds of contracting malaria are generally low, travelers should nonetheless take precautions: mosquito repellent with a high DEET content should be applied to exposed skin between dusk and dawn (when mosquitoes are typically active), and long sleeves, socks and long trousers should be considered for evenings.
Please contact your physician well in advance of your departure to discuss these suggestions. You may also wish to review the CDC guidelines at www.cdc.gov or by calling 1-800-CDC-INFO (1-800-232-4636).
These trips do require a certain level of mobility, including longer walks to accommodations, stairs and some uphill terrain to reach rooms/platform tents and staging areas for vehicles and airplanes, walking on rocky, and sometimes uneven terrain, and the ability to get in and out of vehicles that require big steps. We regret that wheelchairs cannot be accommodated on this terrain. All guests must be ambulatory and able to walk up and down stairs, walk long distances from ÂĽ mile and up to 1 mile without assistance. If you do have limited mobility that requires assistance, you are required to travel with someone who can assist you. Please contact us with any questions.
