Tanzania Travel Updates (April 28th, 2021)

April 28, 2021 - 3 minutes read

Dear Safari Partners,

The Government of Tanzania has introduced a Traveller Surveillance Form for all travellers (including children) entering Tanzania with immediate effect. All travellers are required to complete this form online, within 24 hours prior to arrival here or via https://afyamsafiri.moh.go.tz/.
Upon submitting the form, each passenger will receive a confirmation notification that will include a Unique Health Code that will be requested by immigration officials during primary screening upon arrival in Tanzania.
We recommend that travellers print a copy of the confirmation notification and save a copy on their mobile devices.

Please take note of the Tanzania travel requirements below:
