Medical Advice

 

If this is the first time you are venturing into the tropics, then you should definitely consult your doctor. They can advise you on what is best to pack into your personal medical kit and what precautions you should take for the various risks. Most drugs are available without prescription in Tanzania, but you may not have time to reach a pharmacy, and therefore you should carry some basic supplies. Ask for the best advice on Malaria Prophylactics. You MUST inform us in advance if you are allergic to any foods or medicines or have any other medical needs.
 
The tap water is not safe to drink. In remote bush lodges and tented camps you will be fine brushing your teeth in the tap water, but in big towns such as Dar and Stone Town we recommend you use bottle water for teeth brushing and avoid getting water in your mouth when showering. Bottled water is widely available and will be provided on all Mountain Kingdom' Safaris.
