Tanzania

[SoberHans69]

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.

Everything is normal here in DAR.

Almost nobody wear a face mask.

Bars, clubs and restaurant are open.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi, can you tell me if you had a transit through Nairobi as it seems all Swiss Air flights have a 1 hour layover there but I can't find info on whether international passengers are allowed to transit?

I am German and I will fly to DAR next Wednesday with Qatar from Munich.

I applied my visa online.

Processing time was 2 days.

Validity 2 month.

I hope everything is going well.

Somebody in Dar next week and want to meet?

In Dar, would meet up with you but we can't trade contact info here mate!

Good start for your catch at coco beach.

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.

Brilliant, thanks.

If Nairobi doesn't open by mid August which the first time I get reasonably priced flights to Dar and I don't have to self quarantine on my return to England for 14 days I'm going to head over there.

Hopefully some other members will be there during this time.

[Mradi]

So do the ATMs there run out of cash there often? If so, is there any other way to get money or just keep trying different ones?

Is it possible to change English pound notes there?

Thanks for any help.

Is there any German or European that have flown recently to Tanzania on June. Am asking because for what I know German borders are still closed for countries outside the Schengen area. I'm quite confuse about it because they are selling flights to Tanzania but I don't know if the authorities will allow me to board the plane.

If you were required to have visa, how did you (or how will you) get it?

I got the visa online through the Tanzania Immigration website costing $50. They said it takes around 10 days as far as I can remember but mine was issued in less than 48 hours. A simple straight forward process. Apparently there is also VOA but messing around at night when you land in visa queues doesn't make a lot of sense when there is an easy online process. I would much prefer to land with visa in hand.
