A Trip to Tanzania begins with ensuring that you have all the travel documents in order. The primary travel requirements include a valid passport, a visa, and if applicable a resident permit or pass. During Tanzania Safari Tours, remember to have these documents ready for presentation to the Immigration Control Officer at any entry point, whether it's a border station, airport, or harbour. Simba Safaris ensures a unified start to your Tanzanian adventure by guiding you through these essential travel requisites.
Below we provide travellers with an overview of obtaining a valid passport and visa for travelling to Tanzania. This will help in making the initial steps of the journey seamless.
