To participate to any Asanterra’s safari, you are required to subscribe to full repatriation insurance. Nevertheless, our Company is covered for your transfer from the bush to Nairobi (Kenya) or Dar es Salaam in case of serious medical problem.

Things are not always going as you have planned them. Therefore, we recommend you to take a travel cancellation insurance in case anything unexpected should happen. This insurance will pay cancellation costs due to illness, accident, pregnancy etc.. The additional traveling expenses due to a premature or a belated return journey could also be reimbursed.

Preventative medication for malaria is highly recommended when you are coming for a safari. Treatment usually starts some time before the arrival in Tanzania.

You should therefore seek advice from a registered travel clinic or from your general practitioner at least three weeks prior to departure.

Please note that if you intend to dive, you are not permitted to do so if you are taking “Larium” malaria pills.

Yellow fever is a viral infection for which there is as yet no medical cure. Fortunately, there is a very effective vaccination, which has no side effects. It is valid for ten years, and must be administered at least ten days prior to departure.

The vaccination against yellow fever is only compulsory if you’ve stayed in an endemic country prior to travel to Tanzania.

Do not leave this to the last moment, as yellow fever cannot be administered anywhere: in France, for instance, only the Institut Pasteur can do so. Your local general practitioner will be able to inform you on the closest vaccination center to your home.

This liver infection is orally transmitted through food, drink or any other object which has been in direct or indirect contact with excrement. The hepatitis A vaccination is recommended since this disease can easily be contracted if you do not take certain simple precautions. Anyhow, you should get medical advice from your doctor.

Cholera vaccination on the other hand is not recommended at all. 99.9% of cases can be avoided just by following basic hygiene’s rules and Cholera is treated very effectively.
