Tanzania Visas
These can be obtained at the border for most nationalities, but you are advised to confirm this with the Tanzania Embassy or contact us before travel. 2 passport size photographs and a passport valid for 6 months will be required.
Transport
Public transportation is easy to access and certainly not expensive. Bus services are available to every main city in the country. And for shorter distances “matatus” are also an option. These minivans travel at high speed and are always overcrowded.
There is only one passenger train, which goes to Mombasa. It is a wonderful experience, since the train is still in colonial-style. The train only departs in the evening at 07.00 p.m. from both Nairobi and Mombasa. Enjoy your diner in the dining wagon. In the morning by daylight, you can still get the last glimpse of the game in Tsavo National Park, that you’ve crossed during the night. (Buses and train can be booked for you by us)
