signature safari: every trip is unique

INDEED, TANZANIA IS A SECURE CHOICE FOR TRAVELLERS. THIS IS NOT A MERE ASSERTION; IT IS SUPPORTED BY THE NUMEROUS TANZANIA SAFARI TOURS WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COORDINATED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS

Tanzania is one of the safest safari destinations in Africa, with a stable political environment and friendly locals. With all the negative images painted about Africa, Tanzania stands out as a beacon of peace and security.

While Tanzania is primarily peaceful and welcomes guests with open arms and unmatched warmth, it’s wise for tourists, as in any global destination, to remain vigilant in busier areas, ensuring a smooth and memorable journey.

Safety In The Jungle or Parks

Tanzania’s wilderness is truly breathtaking, providing opportunities for up-close experiences with some of the most extraordinary wildlife on the planet. However, the inherent nature of safaris frequently raises safety concerns, including:

  • Having qualified guides accompany tourists is absolutely essential.
  • Following safety protocols when interacting with wild animals.
  • Ensure the use of robust and dependable vehicles for safaris
  • Adhering to the specified zones of national parks
  • Pilau:A typically spiced rice with a variety of flavorful ingredients, such as meat or vegetables.

Travelling with trusted guides is critical for mitigating the risks associated with wild safaris. With their extensive practical knowledge gained from years of experience, they can foresee the upcoming risk.

Safety Concern In The Big Cities

Tanzania, like any other destination, has certain safety considerations that travellers should be mindful of. Be cautious and keep a close eye on your belongings, especially in busy tourist spots, as there may be instances of petty theft like pickpocketing and bag snatching.

Health Safety And Regional Security

While Tanzania is known for its warm hospitality and security, it is important for every traveller to keep a few guidelines in mind. Highlighting key factors, such as:

  • Respecting local customs and laws.
  • Avoid areas with limited access or potential dangers
  • Following health recommendations, including vaccinations, and taking necessary precautions against malaria
  • Staying alert is necessary to prevent small-scale theft, particularly in urban areas.
  • Ensure reliable accommodations and transportation options when booking Tanzania safari packages

By considering these factors, you can guarantee a secure and fulfilling experience, fully embracing the stunning beauty of Tanzania

EVERYTHING TO KNOW ABOUT TANZANIA SAFARI SAFETY

The staple food is a significant part of the diet for many individuals in Tanzania. Ugali in Swahili is a hearty dish made from maize flour, commonly enjoyed with meat and fish stews or vegetables. The majority of ugali’s ingredients consist of carbohydrates, making it a satisfying and filling meal for Tanzanians.

Indeed, Tanzania safaris do offer vegan options for those with dietary preferences. We Cab Tours and Safari and our partner restaurants and lodges prioritize catering to a wide range of dietary preferences. It’s important to let our team know about any dietary preferences or restrictions when planning.

Tanzanians have a strong affinity for their meat. Beef, chicken, and goat are some of the top choices. People commonly use flavours like cumin, coriander, and ginger to enhance the taste of these grilled or stewed meats. Seafood enthusiasts will be delighted by the wide variety of fresh fish and shellfish available in Tanzania’s coastal regions, including prawns, squid, kingfishes, and octopus

Of course, Tanzania has some must-try street food. From savoury dishes like mishkaki (grilled meat skewers) and samosas to sweet treats like mandazi (fried dough) and vitumbua (coconut rice cakes), the street food scene in Tanzania offers a wide variety of flavours and textures to tantalize your taste buds.

Our Tanzania Cultural Tours offer a variety of immersive experiences, including cooking classes where you can learn how to prepare traditional Tanzanian dishes. Not only will you learn new culinary skills, but you will also have the opportunity to connect with local chefs and learn about the cultural significance of different ingredients and cooking techniques. Cooking classes are a wonderful way to deepen your understanding of Tanzanian culture and create lasting memories of your trip.

In Tanzania, it is customary to use the hand when eating, as it is believed to enhance the flavor of the food. The second practice involves sharing food with others as a sign of hospitality and goodwill. Additionally, it’s customary to serve guests first and express gratitude before they start their meal. Finally, it’s considered polite to consume all the food on your plate as a gesture of gratitude for the prepared meal.

In general, Tanzania is a safe place to visit, but it is crucial to stay informed about potential risks and take the necessary precautions for a pleasant and secure trip. This includes being aware of Tanzania’s wildlife safety, health and safety considerations, personal safety, and road safety. Knowledgeable guides and rangers advise visitors to heed their advice, take precautions against insect bites and other health risks, conceal valuable belongings, and exercise prudence while driving.

Is Tanzania Safe?

WHAT OUR CLINTS SAY

I am not even sure where to start because everything was beyond perfect. Customer service was the best. The entire team took extremely good care of us. We hiked and in one day we saw a lot of chimpanzees in the park. Juma organized it on very short notice and Abbas is very knowledgeable about the park and took us to the best routes. Thanks a lot, guys!

I did a 3-days-2-nights trekking with We Cab Tours in Gombe National park. What can I say? Asante sana! The trip was just super perfect! I saw many chimpanzees (it’s not guaranteed for sure because as you know how wildlife is sometimes). BUT I did it in the end of March when officially is off-season and I still saw them. The weather was really good too. Juma, the owner and his employees are super nice people. I always felt safe and understood. Moreover everything was on time what is really rare to get – believe me. I would do it with this organization again for sure! And I will do some other trips when I am again in Tanzania

Juma, thank you for your hospitality and flexibility during our travel to Zanzibar. I had an amazing and beautiful experience because of your team. Your team arrived early at the RUI to pack our luggage in the van and patiently waited until we were ready to leave the hotel as were saying goodbye to our friends we met on the trip. I appreciate the time you took on our last day of the visit in Stone town prior to leaving for the airport. You helped us negotiate our fabrics and clothing so that we received the best price

Juma, Makame, Brendah and the We Cab family were the absolute best! They treated us like family, they were on time for every day we booked. They want out of their way to provide the best experience. When we booked the “scary ferry” ride to Dar es Salem, we were treated to a complimentary upgrade. We missed the stop in Nairobi where we were supposed to give donations to an orphanage and they made sure to find a reputable one in Zanzibar, and had one of their guides Brendah, translate on our behalf. I truly felt more like family than a client. I will definitely return to Zanzibar and use We Cab for all my transportation and tour needs.
