Please bring proof of your vaccination in the

your health center in your country of origin. It
is advisable to bring anti-malaria pills, better
still, to start taking the pills two weeks
before arrival, during your stay, and after
departure.
CURRENCY REGULATION
It is forbidden to import or export Tanzanian
currency. Any amount of foreign currency may be
brought into the country. Foreign currency may
be exchanged at any of the many authorized

American dollar bills tend to fetch the most
competitive exchange rates, although all major
