Tanzania

[Bashaa]

I called Tanzania embassy in France. They ask only for yellow fever one. And its not sure because you come straight from Europe. Its usually necessary if you have been in a high risk country for more than 12 h. Here in France there is medicl center in which you can get vaccination without appointment for 70 eur.

When are you coming?

[Bashaa]

Unfortunately my hopes are fading.

I'm finding it hard to get a yellow fever injection in time, I know you can get one there but I've read it takes at least a week to be effective.

Most of the other injections I need seem to take longer than a week to kick in too. From reading about online I probably need cholera, typhoid and hep a and most travel places you have to have an initial consultation appointment before they'll even give you an appointment for the injection.

Also cheapest flights are 750 for the next few months.

Wish I'd have had more time to prepare, going to see if I can get any injections tomorrow and give it one last try.

So sorry for you!

But keep trying hopefully you will get them.

Everything is normal here in DAR.

Almost nobody wear a face mask.

Bars, clubs and restaurant are open.

If you get time you can visit ZNZ or Bagamoyo for Safari tour, or Pugu for bird and forest walking.

Buddy travelling anywhere now is high risk and no one can tell you otherwise. We are in completely uncharted territory as countries open back up with some reporting fresh spikes. I'm due to travel to Dar in a week and I understand the risks. You're just going to have to decide whether it's worth rolling that dice or not. Nobody on here can give any idea on the chances of any country going back into lockdown.

750 is almost double what I'm paying, book directly from Amsterdam then take a cheap flight there.

There will never be lock down here, and its never been here, So your welcome.

[Bashaa]

Just unexpectedly lost my job yesterday so need a holiday somewhere. I don't have to worry about the self quarantine upon return now.

Have seen flights from my local airport in UK to Dar via Amsterdam for 750 return and tempted to book it.

Only thing I'm afraid of is if I get there and the bars have closed and country gets locked down.

Can anyone guess the chances of this and how things are on the ground at the minute?

Also where are masks compulsory if anywhere? Lastly I know I need to apply for a visa to save me getting one on arrival, don't think I need a yellow fever shot but is it recommended? What other shots should I get and should I just buy the malaria tablets at home or over there.

Sorry for all the questions, I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Everything is normal here as if thee is no Corona.

And to day schools have been opened.

So just come and enjoy it.

LOL this isn't Zimbabwe. There's plenty of ATMs in Tanzania, especially in urban areas like dar. They usually are stocked with cash so you shouldn't have a problem with your visa or Mastercard.

Pounds are also exchangeable for shillings if you opt to come with cash. They get a much better rate than dollars.

Hahah!

Tell him, to bring them in cash either Dollar or Pounds, but if he can not then ATMS are there and beured changes are there too.

[Bashaa]

I entered Tanzania without any problems.

Visa on arrival is available.

Stay at KingD hotel for 60,000 a night.

Found a nice slim 20 year old girl at Coco Beach.

Damage 30 k for 1 h.

Haha! KIngD near All great places in Sinza where most of Local actions are happening.

Hopefully your enjoying it.

Vaccine yellow fever done 70 euro.

Anyway I will be glad to catch you up. If everything goes well ill be there before you. So let me know.

Are you here already?

[SoberHans69]

Never mind it being effective or not. It's not something you catch. It's a stamp on a piece of paper and a pretext for hassle if you cannot show it.

Thanks for the reply. Think I'll skip that injection then.

Going to try and get hep a, cholera, typhoid if I have enough time plus malaria medication too.

Thanks, I suppose to me it's worth the risk.

Which injections would you or anyone else class as essential?

Hopefully I'll be able to buy you a drink if I make it there, cheers.
