Health Precautions in Tanzania

Drinking Water: Petit Maasai Safaris will provide drinking water every day of your tour. Please only drink bottled or boiled drinking water. Do not drink out of the tap at your hotel or other places.

Insects: You may encounter tsetse flies or mosquitoes when in the national parks. This is a reality in wild areas. We recommend swearing insect repellant with DEET to deter insects.While Malaria is becoming less-and-less a concern throughout Tanzania, it is a good idea to sleep under a mosquito net (provided by all accommodations we partner with) and wear mosquito repellent after sunset.

Travel Vaccinations - Talk with your doctor about travel vaccinations before your departure to Tanzania. Some vaccinations might need to be given 4-6 weeks before your departure, so plan ahead!

Top Safety Tips for Tanzania Safari

Adhere to rules and regulations set by national parks and reserves to ensure both personal safety and the preservation of the environment.

Our experienced guides always consider the safety of our guests. Pay attention to their instructions during game drives and other activities.

Do not feed wildlife and stay within the designated areas at your hotel or for picnics.

Do not exit the safari vehicle until the guide says it is safe.

Tanzania’s climate can be warm. Drinking plenty of water is essential to prevent dehydration, especially during outdoor activities.

Petit Maasai Safaris takes care to choose only reputable lodges and camps with secure facilities for our guests. These accommodations have safes for valuables and safety protocols.

Our Travellers Reviews

Outstanding tour operator

I can't say enough good things about Bryson and Petit Maasai. Bryson handled our last-minute trip to Tanzania like he'd been working on it for months instead of a handful of days after we connected about a week before our family arrived.

Kilimanjaro With Petit Maasai safaris- 5 stars!!!

We book 7 days Kilimanjaro with Petit Maasai safaris after having the safari with another company and we made it with a brilliant guide to the summit. We took the Lemosho route, starting in the rain forest and approached the camp via various tents campsites.

A great experience!

We did a safari in the northern parks of Tanzania with Petit Maasai Safaris and it was a great experience! The guide and the cook were really professional and nice with us, trying to make us feel comfortable and to satisfy our requests. Thanks a lot!
