Safety & Responsible Travel

Staying safe, respecting wildlife and local cultures, and travelling responsibly.

5 sections

When it comes to safety, Tanzania is widely regarded as one of Africa's most stable destinations, and most visitors enjoy a safe and rewarding experience. From the moment you arrive until your departure, our experienced team is here to support you, provide guidance and help ensure your journey is as comfortable and worry-free as possible.

1 How We Take Care of You

  • Expert, certified guides who bring each destination to life.
  • Handpicked lodges and accommodation chosen for their comfort, quality and unique character.
  • 24/7 on-the-ground support throughout your journey, so you can travel with confidence and peace of mind.

2 Safari Safety in Tanzania

  • Follow your guide's instructions at all times. Remain inside the vehicle unless your guide confirms it is safe and permitted to get out.
  • Respect wildlife. Never feed, approach or attempt to touch wild animals.
  • Take extra care after dark. Many safari camps are unfenced, so always ask a member of staff to escort you to and from your tent after sunset.
  • Observe drone regulations. Drones are prohibited in the national parks unless you have the appropriate permits and authorisation.

3 Safety in Tanzania's Towns and Cities

  • Keep valuables in your lodge safe and carry only what you need.
  • Always ask before photographing people.

4 Respecting Local Cultures

A warm smile and a friendly "Jambo" (hello in Swahili) go a long way in creating meaningful connections. In Zanzibar, where the majority of the population is Muslim, please dress modestly away from the beach by covering your shoulders and knees.

When visiting Maasai, Hadzabe and other local communities, follow your guide's advice, respect your hosts' customs and traditions, and always ask permission before taking photographs. A little cultural awareness goes a long way towards making every encounter respectful and rewarding.

5 Conservation and Community

Your safari helps support wildlife conservation and the communities that call Tanzania home. To protect its wildlife and natural landscapes, Tanzania has banned plastic carrier bags. We encourage every guest to travel responsibly, minimise waste and leave the parks as pristine as you found them. Together, we can help preserve Tanzania's extraordinary natural heritage for generations to come.
