Our Covid-19 protocols
Tanzania Covid-19 Entry Requirements
As of March 17, 2022, Tanzania has done away with PCR and rapid antigen testing requirements for fully vaccinated travelers to mainland Tanzania. Read this Ministry of Health Travel Advisory for details. Children under 5 are exempted from testing.
Travelers do need to complete a health surveillance form within 24 hours of arrival to Tanzania.
***As of September 15, 2021, all of our safaris and climbs are staffed by guides, cooks and porters who are vaccinated against Covid-19.
As with all our tours, we will meet your arriving flight at the airport. Instead of shaking hands, our vaccinated guides and support staff will greet you from a distance and with a mask on. Our mountain and safari guides are trained on Covid-19 safety protocols.
Your dedicated guide will accompany you for the duration of your adventure, ensuring that safety protocols are adhered to every step of the way. Should you have any concerns at any point during your trip, your safari or mountain guide will be your main point of contact.
When you land in Africa
Uganda has done away with Covid testing on both arrival and departure as long as you are fully vaccinated. Travelers under the age of 5 do not need to show proof of vaccination and are exempted from testing.

Covid-19 Testing Facilities
Many airlines and countries now require Covid-19 tests before flying home. Testing facilities are operational throughout East Africa, and our ground team will help you navigate the test process and assist with getting test results. In some cases, we can also arrange for a test practitioner to come to your hotel, thus avoiding a trip to a testing facility. The cost to facilitate and procure each Covid test varies and results are received within 48 - 72 hours.
Flying Doctors
We insure all of our guests with Flying Doctors, East Africa’s leading emergency evacuation service. In case of medical emergency, including Covid-19 emergencies, Flying Doctors will evacuate you to Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi, the leading hospital in East and Central Africa.
Vehicle Safety
Your safari guide ensures that your vehicle is sanitized in between transfers and activities. All high-touch areas such as door and window handles, charging points, and cooler lids are sanitized regularly. Guest binoculars are disinfected daily.
As of September 15, 2021, all of our safaris are guided by staff who are vaccinated against Covid-19.
Kilimanjaro
As with all of our Kilimanjaro climbs, we sanitize and disinfect all equipment in between each Kilimanjaro climb. In order to prevent the spread of Covid-19 on the mountain, we assign one porter to set up and care for your personal camping area. Separate washing stations are provided for crew and guests. Temperature checks are conducted prior to the climb.
As of September 15, 2021, our Kilimanjaro climbs are guided by guides, cooks and porters who are vaccinated against Covid-19.
