What to bring to Zanzibar: brief

To pack and check
  • Documents and money: a passport valid for at least another 6 months. For many travelers, a Tanzanian e-visa or a visa on arrival is required. Since 2024, mandatory Zanzibar Inbound Travel Insurance also applies to many foreign visitors. Check the current terms and conditions before departure. The local currency is the Tanzanian shilling (TZS), but US dollars are accepted in many tourist areas. Bring recent dollar bills (issued from 2009).
  • Clothing: light clothing for the tropical climate. Zanzibar is predominantly Muslim. Outside resorts and beaches, it is mandatory to cover shoulders and knees, especially in Stone Town and local villages.
  • Shoes: flip-flops or sandals for the beach and villages. Water shoes are highly recommended due to coral, sea urchins, and sharp stones, especially at low tide. Comfortable sneakers or trail shoes are only necessary if you visit nature reserves or spice plantations. Care and hygiene: reef-friendly sunscreen with a high SPF.
  • Packing and protection: a dry bag for boat trips and a rain cover for your backpack during the rainy season. Note: plastic bags are strictly prohibited.
  • Insects and animals: a good mosquito repellent (preferably with DEET or picaridine).
  • Medicines and travel first aid kit: a first aid kit with ORS, plasters, painkillers, something for insect bites, and remedies for diarrhea.
  • Outdoors and handy items: sunglasses, cap or hat, reusable water bottle, and snorkel set.
  • Technology and equipment: a universal adapter for Type G and sometimes Type D sockets.
To consider
  • UV-protective swim shirt for snorkeling.
  • Underwater camera or waterproof phone case.
  • Quick-drying towel.
  • A light scarf for mosque visits or sun protection.
  • For simple guesthouses or longer stays, your own waterproof mosquito net without holes can be pleasant.
  • A good dose of patience; "Pole pole" (take it easy) is more than a saying here; it is a way of life.

Are there mosquitoes in Zanzibar?

  • Mosquitoes are found all over Zanzibar, all year round. They are most numerous during and immediately after the rainy seasons (approximately March-May and November-December).
  • Mosquitoes can transmit malaria, dengue, and chikungunya. Although the risk of malaria in Zanzibar is lower than on the Tanzanian mainland, many health authorities still recommend good mosquito protection and, depending on your travel plans, possibly medication.
  • More about protection against mosquitoes and insects or malaria.

Are there sandflies in Zanzibar?

  • Yes, sandflies occur in significant numbers on some beaches and in mangrove areas.
  • They are particularly active around sunrise and sunset and on windless days. And although you often do not notice the bite, it can cause itching for weeks.
  • You may want to ask your accommodation if there are many sandflies locally; this varies considerably by beach. Your kit of mosquito repellents containing DEET or picaridine and protective clothing can offer a solution.
  • More about sandflies and sand fleas.
Back to top

Can you buy DEET, or other mosquito repellents, in Zanzibar?

  • In Stone Town and the larger tourist areas, DEET and other mosquito repellents are available at pharmacies, supermarkets, and tourist shops.
  • If you are going to smaller villages or remote beaches, it is wise to bring enough with you in advance.
Back to top

Can you buy a joint or weed in Zanzibar, or bring it to Zanzibar?

  • No. Tanzania has ruthlessly strict drug laws, and these apply to Zanzibar as well. There is absolute zero tolerance for all forms of drugs.
  • There are sometimes beach boys, or local dealers, offering weed on the beaches. These are often undercover agents or police decoys.
  • Checks are strict, and possession, use, sale, and import carry extremely heavy penalties, even for minimal quantities.

Health, Insurance & Safety

How does healthcare work in Tanzania, and what travel insurance, health insurance or expat insurance do you need?

How does the healthcare system work in Tanzania, and which insurance do you need?

Back to top

What is the quality of healthcare in Tanzania?

  • Tanzania has a growing but still unevenly distributed healthcare system. In urban areas such as Dar es Salaam, Arusha, and Zanzibar, access to care is reasonably good, and there are public and private hospitals and clinics.
  • Outside the cities, care is often simpler and sometimes limited to small health centers.
  • Healthcare is organized through a mix of:
    • public facilities,
    • private clinics and hospitals,
    • NGOs and international organizations.
  • Many residents pay for care (partially) themselves, which affects accessibility. For expats and travelers, private care is usually the first choice.
  • For specialized treatments or complex surgeries, abroad, such as Kenya (Nairobi) or South Africa, is popular.
  • Ambulance services exist in larger cities and through some private hospitals, but there is no reliable, nationwide system.
  • In emergencies, people often arrange their own transport, for example via taxis or private cars. The waiting time for an ambulance can vary, and in rural areas, help can take a long time to arrive.
  • In cities, most common medicines are available, but the range often varies by pharmacy. Specific medication such as for chronic conditions or certain contraception) is not always available though. Outside urban areas, there are sometimes shortages.
  • Local health insurance schemes and insurance exist, but coverage is often limited. Many people combine public healthcare with private payments. Expats almost always opt for international health insurance, partly due to the possibility of treatment abroad.
Back to top

How does the public healthcare system work in Tanzania?

  • Public healthcare is the backbone of the healthcare system and consists of health centers, district hospitals, and regional hospitals.
  • Care is relatively affordable and focused on basic care, such as:
    • vaccinations.
    • mother and child care.
    • treatment of common diseases.
  • The quality varies greatly by location. In urban hospitals, care can be reasonable, but in rural areas, resources, staff, and equipment are limited.
  • For complex medical problems or specialist care, the public system is often insufficient.
Back to top

How does the private healthcare system work in Tanzania?

  • Private healthcare plays an important role, especially in cities.
  • It offers better facilities, shorter waiting times, often better-trained staff, and more English-speaking doctors.
  • Private clinics and hospitals are popular among foreigners. Some institutions offer care at an international level, but this is often limited to the larger cities.
  • However, costs are higher, and payment in advance is often required.
Back to top

How is the family doctor or general practitioner arranged in Tanzania?

  • There is no standard GP system. For medical complaints, people usually go directly to a clinic, hospital, or a private doctor.
  • In cities, access to doctors, for example through private clinics, is relatively easy. In rural areas, this can be more difficult.
Back to top

How is the dental care and dentist arranged in Tanzania?

  • Dental care is available in the larger cities of Tanzania and is largely private.
  • You can usually go there for simple treatments, but for complex dental care, many people go abroad.
Back to top

How is pregnancy and maternity care arranged in Tanzania?

  • Pregnancy care is an important part of healthcare in Tanzania, with an active focus on prenatal check-ups and deliveries in clinics or hospitals.
  • Pregnancy is often viewed as a community event, in which family, and especially experienced women, play a major role in providing advice and support.
  • Traditional beliefs and modern medicine often intertwine. Some women combine medical check-ups, such as prenatal consultations, deliveries in health centers or hospitals, and guidance by midwives, with traditional remedies or advice.
  • In some regions, rest after childbirth is strongly encouraged, and families take over a large part of the care and household chores.
  • Breastfeeding is the norm and is widely accepted socially.
  • In cities, guidance is better and there are more facilities, especially in private healthcare.
  • In rural areas, the risks of complications are greater.
  • In the event of complications, medical evacuation may be necessary. Some expats choose to go abroad for the delivery altogether.
Back to top

How safe or unsafe is a trip or stay in Tanzania?

What should you pay attention to in terms of safety in Tanzania?

  • Tanzania is generally a relatively safe country for foreigners.
  • Most people travel here without major problems. However, petty crime does occur, especially in cities such as Dar es Salaam and Arusha and in busy tourist areas. Think of pickpocketing, bag snatching, and theft from cars.
  • The same applies to Zanzibar, with extra vigilance required in less crowded areas.
  • Also, do not forget to ensure your safety around wild animals such as hippos, elephants, buffaloes, and snakes.
  • Along the coast, strong currents, sea urchins, and jellyfish can pose a risk.

What should you look out for in terms of diseases in Tanzania?

  • Malaria is a major health risk in large parts of the country.
  • In addition, dengue and foodborne infections occur. Diarrhea is one of the most common “souvenirs.”
  • Tap water in Tanzania is not safe to drink.

What should you pay attention to when it comes to traffic in Tanzania?

  • Traffic is one of the biggest health risks in Tanzania. Car accidents occur relatively frequently.
  • Roads are not always well maintained, there is little street lighting outside cities, and driving behavior can be unpredictable.
  • In the event of an accident, medical assistance is not always available quickly.

Insurance for working abroad

Back to top

What is insurance for working abroad?

  • Insuring yourself for working abroad means taking out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your paid work abroad.
Back to top

Why take out insurance, and when is normal travel insurance no longer sufficient?

  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance for paid work abroad.
  • During your work, local employers generally offer no or limited insurance that does not provide sufficient coverage.
  • The risk of accidents is sometimes greater during your work, for example because you are doing work with which you have little experience or because of the nature of the work.
  • During specific work abroad, additional requirements may apply as soon as you start performing work that involves additional risks. Only special insurance policies offer coverage during this type of work.
  • During work, internships, or volunteer work abroad where you receive a salary or compensation (for example, food or housing), your local health insurance coverage will normally lapse. You will then need special insurance to remain insured for illness and accidents.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally do not provide sufficient coverage to apply for a work visa or working holiday visa.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally only cover stays abroad for a limited number of days. If your trip or stay abroad exceeds the maximum number of days, this generally means that there will be no coverage for the entire travel period.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally only provide coverage for recreational travel without study, internship, or work. If you engage in activities other than recreational activities, this generally means that you will no longer be covered for the entire travel period.
Back to top

  • Make sure you have insurance that is valid in the area where you will be traveling and working.
  • Make sure you are adequately insured for the sports and activities you will be participating in.

What is insurance for working with animals abroad?

  • Insuring yourself for working abroad with animals means taking out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your paid, unpaid, or internship work abroad, where minor or major risks are involved.
Back to top

Why take out insurance, and when is normal travel insurance no longer sufficient?

  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance for work abroad.

  • The risk of accidents is sometimes greater during your work, for example because you are doing work with which you have little experience or because of the nature of the work. All over the world, there are reserves, rescue centers, and zoos where you can roll up your sleeves as a veterinarian, intern, or volunteer. Working with animals or wildlife is not without danger. No matter how cute they may look, or how tame they may behave. All animals can suddenly bite viciously or lash out with a claw or beak. Not only can this result in nasty injuries, but it can also transmit diseases that you would rather not have, and certainly not abroad.
  • During work, internships, or volunteer work abroad where you receive a salary or compensation (for example, food or housing), your local health insurance coverage will normally lapse. You will then need special insurance to remain insured for illness and accidents.
  • During your work, local employers generally offer no or limited insurance that does not provide sufficient coverage.
