The best trip of our lives💜🦁 Five stars are not enough. The guys at the agency are very nice. Since we met them, they have always been attentive, answering questions and helping us with everything. The outbound flight was delayed, and they kept answering us regardless of the time and are helping us now on the return with the claims. I am truly very grateful, they were always looking out for us, making sure everything went well and that we were comfortable. And now, if you ask me about our guide and our driver…. Magogo and Haroldi… we will always carry them in our hearts. They know everything, they look for the best spots in the parks so you can see as many animals as possible (we even saw a rhinoceros in the Serengeti, and that is very difficult), and they tell you a lot of things about the parks, the animals, and their anecdotes. The food was always hot, and no picnics, I mean they take care of every single detail. There really is no better agency!!!!!! And on top of that, they allocate part of the money to the schooling of the children in Tanzania… I mean a 10000/10. And Zanzibar was also great, but honestly, the most impressive thing and what I will always carry in my heart is Tanzania and its magic. It is living The Lion King… a dream come true, Asante sana guys💜💜💜💜

A 10/10 trip. Tanzania, Hakuna Matata, and an extraordinary team We have just returned from Tanzania and we can only say that it has been a 10/10 trip. One of those that you know you will remember for the rest of your life. From the very first moment, African Safari Travel looked after us. They organized the trip to our liking, taking care of every detail and making sure everything went well, not only before, but also during the tour. Although the price per person was not cheap, honestly, we believe that the quality, the organization, and the attention received were worth what we paid. We want to make a VERY special mention of Andrew, our guide, because he deserves much more than just a few words in a review. From the moment he picked us up punctually at the airport, he looked after us at all times. His first phrase was "Hakuna Matata" and that is how it has been until the last day. Always with a smile, concerned for our well-being, and doing everything possible so that we would enjoy every moment. But the best part is that we never felt that he did it simply because it was his job; it was clear that he truly enjoyed seeing us happy. He spoke Spanish wonderfully, his explanations about Tanzania, its customs, and the animals were extraordinary, and he kept the jeep impeccably clean every day, stocking it with drinks and food. Andrew, thank you from the heart for your warmth, your patience, your dedication, and for making us feel so comfortable from the very first minute. We are taking home a beautiful memory of you and a part of that Hakuna Matata philosophy that you have transmitted to us throughout the trip. And, of course, THANK YOU also to Hamisi, our driver. He made us feel secure from the very first moment and managed to make every trip an adventure. He knew the parks like the back of his hand and nothing escaped him. He was constantly observing every corner to find animals and show us incredible scenes that we will hardly forget, from lions mating to animals feeding. It was clear that he enjoyed it as much as we did and that he was always trying to give us one more special moment. Hamisi, thank you for taking care of us on the road, for your professionalism, for the laughs, and for that passion you have put in every day so that we could enjoy it to the fullest. You have made us feel safe and in good hands at all times. Truly, Andrew and Hamisi, you have been much more than a guide and a driver. You have been part of the experience, and without you, this trip would not have been the same. We are leaving Tanzania with incredible memories, but also with enormous affection for you both. Hopefully we will meet again someday! The hotels, most of them from the Meliá chain, were also of a high standard. They treated us phenomenally and contributed to making the experience perfect. If we had to organize this trip again, we would not change absolutely anything: we would choose African Safari Travel, Andrew, and Hamisi, and the same hotels again, without thinking twice. Thanks to the whole team for making it so easy and, especially, to Andrew and Hamisi for putting so much heart into their work. You have given us much more than a vacation: an experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Hakuna Matata, friends, and until next time!

Amazing! Exceptional Agency. **Trip management** When I was looking for an agency to book the trip, I used artificial intelligence to provide me with a list of agencies specializing in safaris based in Spain, prioritizing safety above all else, professionalism, social media reviews, experience in safaris and exclusive trips, and the price-quality ratio. In the result, African Safari appeared at number one. And, fortunately, it was not wrong. African Safari Travel has been a 100% recommendable, safe, reliable, and professional agency. A very important point: it has its own headquarters in Tanzania. It is not a Spanish agency that subcontracts activities to Tanzanian companies, but rather it has its own work team there and a fleet of 15 jeeps, in addition to 2 assistance vehicles in case any breakdown occurs. That provides a lot of peace of mind. Alfredo accompanied us throughout the entire process, from the first contact to the last day of the vacation. We had permanent communication via WhatsApp, with always quick and precise responses. They advised us, made suggestions, and resolved all our doubts, without exception. They know their product perfectly and allow you to adapt the trip to your preferences. The choice of hotels was a success: all of very good quality, with wonderful service and attention. **The safari experience** What we experienced on the ground lived up to the management. Our guide Andrew and our driver Hamishi were exceptional: professional, fun, interactive, and great experts on the fauna of Tanzania, and they also speak very good Spanish. Andrew, in particular, was always punctual for pickups. We also loved the details: Wi-Fi in the jeep, a cooler with cold sodas, and a hot, high-quality lunch right in the middle of the savanna. Every day, at the end of the safari, the guide and the driver would clean the car, and the next morning we would find everything impeccable. It has been the trip of our lives, and without a doubt, we would repeat with them. Zero complaints.

The safari you deserve When we decided to go on a safari to celebrate our honeymoon, my partner and I evaluated different agencies until we found African Safari. We could not have chosen better: unbeatable service from the first day, 24/7 contact available, and real customization of the trip to guarantee the best experience based on our preferences. The selection of hotels was demanding, and although our expectations were high, they have far exceeded the unimaginable: spectacular facilities with unparalleled views, perfect service, exquisite food, and best of all, our guide David and our driver Harold. They have made our safari an indelible memory thanks to their attention, good humor, and everything they taught us about the culture of Tanzania and the animals we were discovering. We also managed to see the Big 5. The most impressive trip we have taken to date.

African Safari Travel, totally recommended. We just returned from our safari through Tanzania (with Zanzibar as the end of the trip) organized with African Safari Travel. We contacted ALFREDO and from the first moment he assisted us with warmth and great professionalism. He helped us design our itinerary, adjusting to our suggestions, resolving our doubts, and adapting to make some changes that we proposed regarding the initial itinerary. He was looking out for us during the entire trip, contacting us to know how everything was going and reminding us that in case of any problem we should contact him. During the entire safari we were always accompanied by a guide and a driver... thanks to MAGOGO and DENIS who acted magnificently, always attentive to our needs and going out of their way so that we could see the maximum possible number of animals (we saw the big five in a single day !!! ). All correctness and good manners. We especially loved the lodges in Arusha, Tarangire, and Serengeti. The one in Ngorongoro needs a bit of renovation since it is a little "old"... but all the staff, in general, went out of their way for us. The menu at the different lodges and the picnic-style ones they provided were a bit repetitive. The resort in Zanzibar, in Nungwi, was wonderful, but the food (half board) could be much better. It has been a unique, unforgettable experience....thanks to African Safari Travel for their good work!!! We do not hesitate to recommend this agency one hundred percent.

The best trip of our lives ❤️ The best trip of our life without a doubt. From the first moment we felt very comfortable and safe with this company. Both Marcos from Spain and Erick from Tanzania were in contact with us to see if we needed anything. They were always attentive to everything, mindful of every detail, and ensured we didn't lack anything during the entire trip. We were very lucky to see the great migration and witness how 5 lines of wildebeest crossed in front of us, an impressive spectacle that we will never forget. We also saw the Big Five, and we were tremendously fortunate to spot 5 leopards and even a serval, one of the most difficult felines to see. All of this was possible thanks to the keen eye of our driver (Fortunatus) and our guide (Acram), who always knew where to look and how to position themselves in the best spot. Nothing escaped them 🙌🏼 The guides we had on the first day, Inocent and Benedict, made the day very pleasant and fun, and they were concerned about our comfort and safety at all times. From the beginning, an atmosphere of trust was created that stayed with us until the last day. And what can we say about the safari guides, Acram and Fortunatus: the best guides we could have had!! Very pleasant and approachable, and with an incredible ability to find animals. They made the experience even more special. And as for the accommodations, they could not have chosen better ones. Each accommodation surpassed the previous one; we were able to live the experience to the fullest thanks to staying inside the parks, where you could hear the animals at night. It was incredible! If you are thinking about booking the safari with this company, do not hesitate for a second, and if you can choose those guides, we assure you that your trip will be even better. Although, seeing how they operate, surely every guide and driver is just as professional and friendly. Totally recommended!😊

A 10 out of 10 honeymoon. Totally recommended We could not have chosen a better agency to organize our honeymoon. We left everything in the hands of African Safari Travel and it was a complete success. They met all our expectations and the trip was simply perfect. From the first moment everything was easy. We felt accompanied and calm throughout the entire trip, knowing that there was a team behind us looking out for us. The office was available at any time and, with any question or problem, they always responded and solved it for us quickly. Special mention to our guide, Akram, and our driver, who were a 10. Great professionals, attentive, approachable and, above all, very good people. They made the experience even more special and ensured we take away unforgettable memories of our honeymoon. If you are thinking about organizing a trip and want to enjoy it without worries, we recommend African Safari Travel 100%. We would trust them again without hesitation. Thank you for making our honeymoon an unforgettable experience!

Incredible experience An incredible experience from start to finish We have returned from our honeymoon delighted and we can only recommend African Safari Travel. From the beginning we trusted them to organize such a special experience and the truth is that it was a total success. Everything went great, just as we expected, and the best part of all was the peace of mind of knowing that we were in good hands. We have had facilities at all times, and the office has been available whenever we have needed it, resolving any questions or unforeseen events quickly and efficiently. We want to especially highlight our guide, Akram, and our driver, who have been exceptional. In addition to being great professionals, they are wonderful people who have contributed a lot to us enjoying every moment of the trip. We take away unforgettable memories, a 10/10 experience, and the feeling of having chosen the perfect agency for our honeymoon. A thousand thanks to the entire African Safari Travel team for making everything so easy and for helping us experience a trip that we will remember for the rest of our lives. We would do it again without hesitation!

The best in Tanzania Safaris! We just returned from an incredible trip through Tanzania and Zanzibar, and we could not be happier with the experience. From the first moment, even when we were just asking for information and evaluating options, we received exceptional attention. ALWAYS available, responding quickly and helping us with any questions, and this attention continued during the trip, where they would write to us just to check if everything was going well. We wanted to personalize some parts of the itinerary and adapt certain transfers and activities to our preferences. They managed everything impeccably, without any complications. The hotels were spectacular, carefully selected, and with incredible locations. The food deserves a special mention: absolutely delicious, very varied, and of great quality throughout the trip. We also want to highlight our guide and driver, who were exceptional. Professional, kind, attentive, and with great knowledge of the country. Without them, the experience would not have been the same. We especially recommend the private tour, as it allows you to enjoy a much more personalized and flexible experience. In short, a 10/10 experience from beginning to end. Professional, attentive, approachable, and perfectly organized. If you are thinking about traveling to Tanzania and Zanzibar, do not hesitate: go with them! They are, without a doubt, the best.

Para ir al grano

Lo esencial antes de viajar

Si sales desde España, normalmente no te van a exigir una vacuna obligatoria general para entrar en Tanzania. El punto que más dudas genera es la fiebre amarilla, porque puede exigirse el certificado si vienes de un país con riesgo o haces una escala larga en uno de ellos. A partir de ahí, lo importante de verdad es revisar hepatitis A, tifoidea, hepatitis B, rabia en algunos perfiles y profilaxis contra la malaria, sobre todo si combinas safari en Tanzania y Zanzíbar.

Ideas clave

Lo que debes mirar antes de pedir cita

No confundas obligación con recomendación

Que una vacuna no sea obligatoria no significa que no sea conveniente según la ruta, la duración y el tipo de viaje.

La fiebre amarilla depende del itinerario

El certificado suele importar por origen o escala en país de riesgo, no por viajar desde España en un vuelo normal.

La malaria cambia mucho el planteamiento

No es una vacuna, pero sí una de las decisiones más importantes si haces safari, costa o varias noches fuera de grandes núcleos.

No todas las rutas exigen lo mismo

Una escapada de playa no se prepara igual que una ruta por parques, una extensión rural o un viaje con Kilimanjaro.

Introducción

Una guía clara para saber qué te pueden pedir y qué te conviene revisar

Uno de los errores más comunes al preparar un viaje a Tanzania es buscar una lista rápida de vacunas y dar por hecho que sirve igual para todo el mundo. En realidad, la preparación sanitaria cambia bastante según el origen del viaje, las escalas, la época, la duración y el tipo de experiencia que vas a hacer.

No necesita lo mismo quien aterriza para descansar unos días en Zanzíbar que quien pasa varios días de safari privado en Tanzania, duerme en diferentes zonas, enlaza vuelos internos o añade una parte de montaña. Por eso conviene separar dos preguntas. Qué pueden exigirte para entrar y qué es prudente revisar con un centro de vacunación internacional.

En esta guía te voy a dejar ese mapa bien ordenado. Primero veremos qué puede revisar la frontera, luego qué vacunas suelen valorarse para la mayoría de viajeros y después cómo cambia la recomendación según si haces solo playa, safari, ruta larga o combinación con Monte Kilimanjaro.

Qué pasa de verdad con la fiebre amarilla

La fiebre amarilla es el punto que más confusión genera en los viajes a Tanzania. La idea importante es esta. Viajar desde España no implica por sí solo la obligación de presentar ese certificado. El problema aparece cuando el viajero llega desde un país con riesgo de transmisión o ha hecho una escala suficientemente larga en uno de esos países.

Por eso no conviene preguntar solo si la vacuna es obligatoria para Tanzania en abstracto. La pregunta correcta es si tu itinerario concreto te coloca dentro de los supuestos en los que pueden pedirte el certificado. Esa diferencia cambia todo, sobre todo cuando hay conexiones en África o rutas más complejas antes de aterrizar.

También conviene entender otra cosa. Que Tanzania pueda pedir ese certificado en ciertos supuestos no significa que la vacuna se recomiende para cualquier viaje normal al país. De hecho, en un viaje turístico estándar a Tanzania la lógica habitual no es vacunar a todo el mundo de fiebre amarilla sin más, sino valorar si realmente existe esa exigencia por procedencia o tránsito.

Cuándo suele importar este certificado

  • Si llegas desde un país con riesgo de transmisión de fiebre amarilla
  • Si haces una escala larga en un aeropuerto de un país con riesgo
  • Si tu ruta previa por África no empieza directamente en España
  • Si tu itinerario tiene varios vuelos y no has revisado bien las conexiones

La fiebre amarilla no suele ser el problema del viajero que sale desde España en una ruta simple. El problema aparece cuando no se revisa bien el itinerario completo.

Salida desde España

En una ruta normal sin pasar por países de riesgo, lo habitual es que no te exijan certificado por origen.

Escala sensible

Si el viaje incluye un tránsito largo en un país con riesgo, conviene revisarlo con tiempo y no asumir que la escala da igual.

Zanzíbar sigue la misma lógica

Si entras por Zanzíbar, el análisis sanitario previo sigue dependiendo del itinerario con el que llegas.

Según tu ruta

Cómo cambia la recomendación según el viaje que hagas

Solo Zanzíbar con vuelo simple desde Europa

Si haces una escapada centrada en playa y llegas desde España o Europa sin pasos delicados en ruta, el foco suele estar menos en vacunas obligatorias y más en revisar calendario vacunal, hepatitis A y prevención básica del viaje.

Safari clásico por el norte

Si haces parques como Serengeti, Ngorongoro o Tarangire, ya conviene pensar con más seriedad en tifoidea, hepatitis A y profilaxis contra la malaria, además del calendario general.

Safari con más días o zonas menos urbanas

Cuanto más rural, largo o disperso sea el viaje, más peso gana revisar rabia en algunos perfiles y ajustar bien la prevención frente a picaduras y comida o agua.

Kilimanjaro y viaje combinado

Si mezclas montaña, safari y playa, lo prudente es no pensar en una lista genérica. Necesitas revisar el itinerario completo con un enfoque más fino y ordenar bien tanto sanidad como seguro.

Ruta con escalas complejas por África

En ese caso, lo primero no es preguntarte qué vacuna “recomiendan”, sino si el trayecto activa la exigencia de certificado de fiebre amarilla por origen o tránsito.

Qué vacunas suelen valorarse para la mayoría de viajeros

Cuando la gente pregunta qué vacunas ponerse para Tanzania, suele esperar una lista cerrada. La realidad es un poco más útil que eso. Hay un núcleo que conviene revisar casi siempre y luego una capa adicional que depende de la ruta.

En la base están las vacunas del calendario. Viajar con tétanos, difteria, polio y sarampión mal actualizados no tiene mucho sentido, sobre todo en un contexto internacional. A partir de ahí, hepatitis A es una de las recomendaciones más frecuentes para viajes de este tipo, y hepatitis B gana peso según edad, duración, perfil del viajero y exposición prevista.

Además, en muchos viajes a Tanzania también tiene bastante lógica valorar la fiebre tifoidea, especialmente si vas a moverte por varias zonas, comer fuera con frecuencia o salir del contexto más controlado de un viaje muy cerrado de hotel y traslado.

Lo que más se revisa en consulta

  • Calendario vacunal al día con especial atención a tétanos, difteria, polio y sarampión
  • Hepatitis A como una de las recomendaciones más habituales
  • Hepatitis B según edad, perfil y tipo de estancia
  • Fiebre tifoidea si el viaje no va a ser totalmente cerrado o controlado

Calendario general

Es la base de todo. Antes de pensar en exotismos, revisa si tu protección rutinaria está realmente bien actualizada.

Hepatitis A

Suele ser una de las vacunas más sensatas para un viaje de este tipo por su relación con comida, agua y exposición general.

Polio y sarampión

No son puntos decorativos. Siguen siendo relevantes en el contexto actual del viaje internacional.

Tifoidea

Cuanto menos “cerrado” sea el viaje, más interés tiene revisar esta protección.

La malaria no es una vacuna pero sí una de las decisiones más importantes

Cuando alguien se centra solo en vacunas, a veces olvida lo que de verdad puede cambiar la preparación sanitaria del viaje. La malaria no se resuelve con una vacuna de rutina para este contexto, sino con una combinación de profilaxis bien elegida y prevención seria frente a mosquitos.

Este punto importa mucho en Tanzania porque una parte muy amplia del viaje turístico típico se mueve por zonas donde la prevención frente a malaria merece atención. Eso afecta a muchos safaris, a la costa y también a rutas que mezclan varios entornos por debajo de cierta altitud.

La mejor forma de enfocarlo es sencilla. No preguntes solo si “hay malaria”. Pregunta qué medicamento encaja mejor con tu ruta, cuánto antes debes empezarlo, cuánto tiempo debes mantenerlo y cómo combinarlo con repelente, ropa adecuada y descanso protegido.

Cuándo debes tomártelo más en serio

  • Si haces safari durante varios días
  • Si pasas por zonas cálidas y de menor altitud
  • Si terminas el viaje en Zanzíbar
  • Si vas a dormir en distintas localizaciones
  • Si quieres evitar improvisar la medicación pocos días antes del vuelo

En Tanzania, la parte más importante de la preparación sanitaria muchas veces no es una inyección, sino una buena decisión sobre malaria tomada con tiempo.

Cuándo tiene sentido valorar rabia, tifoidea y otras recomendaciones

No todos los viajeros necesitan el mismo nivel de protección adicional. Aquí es donde un enfoque profesional marca la diferencia. La rabia, por ejemplo, no se revisa igual en una escapada cerrada de pocos días que en un viaje largo, rural, con contacto potencial con animales o con acceso incierto a atención rápida tras una mordedura.

La tifoidea también gana sentido cuando el viaje se abre más. Más trayectos, más comidas fuera del circuito cerrado, más exposición a lugares donde el control del agua y la manipulación de alimentos no siempre es perfecto. En ese escenario, no conviene tratarla como una vacuna exagerada o innecesaria.

Además, en algunos perfiles puede valorarse alguna recomendación extra en función del contexto sanitario del momento, de la edad, de enfermedades previas o del tipo de actividades previstas. Por eso merece la pena pedir cita en un centro de vacunación internacional con margen y no copiar una lista genérica de internet.

Tipo de viaje Qué debes tener en cuenta Lectura práctica
Playa y ruta sencilla Calendario general, hepatitis A y revisión básica del itinerario suelen ser el punto de partida No requiere el mismo nivel de preparación que una ruta larga y rural
Safari por varias zonas La malaria, la tifoidea y la organización del viaje ganan mucho peso Aquí merece la pena preparar más que una simple lista de vacunas
Viaje largo o con baja accesibilidad Puede tener sentido revisar rabia y otros matices sanitarios con más detalle Cuanto más complejo es el viaje, menos conviene improvisar

Errores frecuentes antes de viajar

El primer error es buscar una única respuesta para todo el mundo. No sirve igual la misma preparación para una pareja que va de hotel en hotel que para quien hace una ruta amplia por parques, costa y montaña.

El segundo error es centrarse solo en la fiebre amarilla y olvidar todo lo demás. Mucha gente llega obsesionada con ese certificado y en cambio no ha revisado tétanos, sarampión, polio, hepatitis A o malaria, que muchas veces son el núcleo real de la conversación sanitaria.

El tercer error es dejarlo para la última semana. Algunas decisiones necesitan margen, tanto para pedir cita como para pautar medicación o completar vacunas con un mínimo de orden. Si además todavía estás cerrando visado, seguro o ruta, ese retraso complica todo a la vez.

Lo que conviene no hacer

  1. Dar por hecho que una lista genérica sirve para cualquier viaje
  2. Confundir el requisito de entrada por fiebre amarilla con una recomendación general para todos
  3. Olvidar la malaria por centrarse solo en vacunas
  4. Dejar la consulta sanitaria para el final
  5. No revisar escalas y países de tránsito antes de volar

¿Desde España me exigen la vacuna de fiebre amarilla para entrar en Tanzania?

En una ruta normal desde España, no suele exigirse por origen. El punto sensible aparece si vienes o haces un tránsito largo en un país con riesgo de transmisión.

¿Zanzíbar cambia las vacunas obligatorias por separado?

En la práctica, para este tema debes pensar el viaje como parte del mismo marco sanitario de entrada, aunque Zanzíbar tenga además otros requisitos propios como el seguro obligatorio de entrada.

¿La malaria se soluciona con una vacuna?

No en este planteamiento de viaje. Lo importante es revisar profilaxis y medidas estrictas frente a picaduras según la ruta.

¿Tifoidea y rabia son siempre necesarias?

No siempre. Son recomendaciones que dependen mucho de la duración, la exposición, el tipo de itinerario y el acceso a atención rápida.

Checklist sanitario antes del vuelo

Una buena preparación sanitaria no consiste en acumular vacunas sin criterio, sino en revisar el viaje de forma lógica. Si lo haces así, la conversación se ordena sola y además encaja mejor con el resto de la planificación, desde el visado para Tanzania hasta el seguro de viaje a Tanzania.

También conviene apoyarte en el contexto real del itinerario. Si vas a pasar calor, moverte mucho y comer fuera con frecuencia, tiene sentido repasar medidas de higiene y agua segura. Y si todavía estás cerrando dudas generales del país, te vendrá bien revisar también nuestros Consejos Antes de Viajar a Tanzania y la guía sobre dónde beber agua en Tanzania.

Lo que deberías llevar revisado

  • Calendario vacunal al día
  • Fiebre amarilla solo si tu itinerario lo convierte en requisito
  • Hepatitis A revisada con criterio
  • Tifoidea si el viaje lo justifica
  • Profilaxis contra la malaria si aplica por ruta
  • Seguro de viaje bien adaptado al itinerario
  • Consulta en centro de vacunación internacional con tiempo suficiente

La mejor preparación sanitaria para Tanzania no es la más larga, sino la que mejor encaja con el viaje que de verdad vas a hacer.

Nuestra recomendación si combinas safari, costa y varios trayectos

Si tu viaje incluye varios entornos, lo más sensato es dejar de pensar en una lista universal y hacer una preparación por capas. Primero revisa si el itinerario activa o no la exigencia de fiebre amarilla. Después asegúrate de que el calendario vacunal está al día. Y por último ajusta hepatitis A, tifoidea, malaria y otros puntos al tipo de ruta que vas a hacer.

Ese orden funciona especialmente bien en viajes completos como un viaje de safari y Zanzíbar, una ruta con extensión al Kilimanjaro o una combinación de parques, vuelos internos y playa. Cuando todo eso se planifica bien desde el principio, el viaje fluye mucho mejor.

Si lo miras así, esta parte deja de ser un trámite pesado y pasa a ser una forma muy útil de viajar con cabeza. Menos improvisación, menos errores y más tranquilidad cuando llegue el momento de volar.

¿Qué me pedirán con más probabilidad en frontera?

Lo más sensible suele ser el certificado de fiebre amarilla si tu origen o tránsito entra dentro de los supuestos de riesgo.

¿Qué revisaría sí o sí aunque no me lo exigieran?

Calendario general, hepatitis A y el enfoque de malaria según ruta suelen ser una base muy razonable para la mayoría de viajeros.

¿Cuándo gana importancia pedir cita sanitaria con margen?

Cuando el viaje mezcla safari, costa, montaña o varias escalas, porque ahí la preparación deja de ser genérica y necesita más criterio.

A 10/10 trip. Tanzania, Hakuna Matata, and an extraordinary team We have just returned from Tanzania and we can only say that it has been a 10/10 trip. One of those that you know you will remember for the rest of your life. From the very first moment, African Safari Travel looked after us. They organized the trip to our liking, taking care of every detail and making sure everything went well, not only before, but also during the tour. Although the price per person was not cheap, honestly, we believe that the quality, the organization, and the attention received were worth what we paid. We want to make a VERY special mention of Andrew, our guide, because he deserves much more than just a few words in a review. From the moment he picked us up punctually at the airport, he looked after us at all times. His first phrase was "Hakuna Matata" and that is how it has been until the last day. Always with a smile, concerned for our well-being, and doing everything possible so that we would enjoy every moment. But the best part is that we never felt that he did it simply because it was his job; it was clear that he truly enjoyed seeing us happy. He spoke Spanish wonderfully, his explanations about Tanzania, its customs, and the animals were extraordinary, and he kept the jeep impeccably clean every day, stocking it with drinks and food. Andrew, thank you from the heart for your warmth, your patience, your dedication, and for making us feel so comfortable from the very first minute. We are taking home a beautiful memory of you and a part of that Hakuna Matata philosophy that you have transmitted to us throughout the trip. And, of course, THANK YOU also to Hamisi, our driver. He made us feel secure from the very first moment and managed to make every trip an adventure. He knew the parks like the back of his hand and nothing escaped him. He was constantly observing every corner to find animals and show us incredible scenes that we will hardly forget, from lions mating to animals feeding. It was clear that he enjoyed it as much as we did and that he was always trying to give us one more special moment. Hamisi, thank you for taking care of us on the road, for your professionalism, for the laughs, and for that passion you have put in every day so that we could enjoy it to the fullest. You have made us feel safe and in good hands at all times. Truly, Andrew and Hamisi, you have been much more than a guide and a driver. You have been part of the experience, and without you, this trip would not have been the same. We are leaving Tanzania with incredible memories, but also with enormous affection for you both. Hopefully we will meet again someday! The hotels, most of them from the Meliá chain, were also of a high standard. They treated us phenomenally and contributed to making the experience perfect. If we had to organize this trip again, we would not change absolutely anything: we would choose African Safari Travel, Andrew, and Hamisi, and the same hotels again, without thinking twice. Thanks to the whole team for making it so easy and, especially, to Andrew and Hamisi for putting so much heart into their work. You have given us much more than a vacation: an experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Hakuna Matata, friends, and until next time!

Amazing! Exceptional Agency. **Trip management** When I was looking for an agency to book the trip, I used artificial intelligence to provide me with a list of agencies specializing in safaris based in Spain, prioritizing safety above all else, professionalism, social media reviews, experience in safaris and exclusive trips, and the price-quality ratio. In the result, African Safari appeared at number one. And, fortunately, it was not wrong. African Safari Travel has been a 100% recommendable, safe, reliable, and professional agency. A very important point: it has its own headquarters in Tanzania. It is not a Spanish agency that subcontracts activities to Tanzanian companies, but rather it has its own work team there and a fleet of 15 jeeps, in addition to 2 assistance vehicles in case any breakdown occurs. That provides a lot of peace of mind. Alfredo accompanied us throughout the entire process, from the first contact to the last day of the vacation. We had permanent communication via WhatsApp, with always quick and precise responses. They advised us, made suggestions, and resolved all our doubts, without exception. They know their product perfectly and allow you to adapt the trip to your preferences. The choice of hotels was a success: all of very good quality, with wonderful service and attention. **The safari experience** What we experienced on the ground lived up to the management. Our guide Andrew and our driver Hamishi were exceptional: professional, fun, interactive, and great experts on the fauna of Tanzania, and they also speak very good Spanish. Andrew, in particular, was always punctual for pickups. We also loved the details: Wi-Fi in the jeep, a cooler with cold sodas, and a hot, high-quality lunch right in the middle of the savanna. Every day, at the end of the safari, the guide and the driver would clean the car, and the next morning we would find everything impeccable. It has been the trip of our lives, and without a doubt, we would repeat with them. Zero complaints.

The safari you deserve When we decided to go on a safari to celebrate our honeymoon, my partner and I evaluated different agencies until we found African Safari. We could not have chosen better: unbeatable service from the first day, 24/7 contact available, and real customization of the trip to guarantee the best experience based on our preferences. The selection of hotels was demanding, and although our expectations were high, they have far exceeded the unimaginable: spectacular facilities with unparalleled views, perfect service, exquisite food, and best of all, our guide David and our driver Harold. They have made our safari an indelible memory thanks to their attention, good humor, and everything they taught us about the culture of Tanzania and the animals we were discovering. We also managed to see the Big 5. The most impressive trip we have taken to date.

African Safari Travel, totally recommended. We just returned from our safari through Tanzania (with Zanzibar as the end of the trip) organized with African Safari Travel. We contacted ALFREDO and from the first moment he assisted us with warmth and great professionalism. He helped us design our itinerary, adjusting to our suggestions, resolving our doubts, and adapting to make some changes that we proposed regarding the initial itinerary. He was looking out for us during the entire trip, contacting us to know how everything was going and reminding us that in case of any problem we should contact him. During the entire safari we were always accompanied by a guide and a driver... thanks to MAGOGO and DENIS who acted magnificently, always attentive to our needs and going out of their way so that we could see the maximum possible number of animals (we saw the big five in a single day !!! ). All correctness and good manners. We especially loved the lodges in Arusha, Tarangire, and Serengeti. The one in Ngorongoro needs a bit of renovation since it is a little "old"... but all the staff, in general, went out of their way for us. The menu at the different lodges and the picnic-style ones they provided were a bit repetitive. The resort in Zanzibar, in Nungwi, was wonderful, but the food (half board) could be much better. It has been a unique, unforgettable experience....thanks to African Safari Travel for their good work!!! We do not hesitate to recommend this agency one hundred percent.

The best trip of our lives ❤️ The best trip of our life without a doubt. From the first moment we felt very comfortable and safe with this company. Both Marcos from Spain and Erick from Tanzania were in contact with us to see if we needed anything. They were always attentive to everything, mindful of every detail, and ensured we didn't lack anything during the entire trip. We were very lucky to see the great migration and witness how 5 lines of wildebeest crossed in front of us, an impressive spectacle that we will never forget. We also saw the Big Five, and we were tremendously fortunate to spot 5 leopards and even a serval, one of the most difficult felines to see. All of this was possible thanks to the keen eye of our driver (Fortunatus) and our guide (Acram), who always knew where to look and how to position themselves in the best spot. Nothing escaped them 🙌🏼 The guides we had on the first day, Inocent and Benedict, made the day very pleasant and fun, and they were concerned about our comfort and safety at all times. From the beginning, an atmosphere of trust was created that stayed with us until the last day. And what can we say about the safari guides, Acram and Fortunatus: the best guides we could have had!! Very pleasant and approachable, and with an incredible ability to find animals. They made the experience even more special. And as for the accommodations, they could not have chosen better ones. Each accommodation surpassed the previous one; we were able to live the experience to the fullest thanks to staying inside the parks, where you could hear the animals at night. It was incredible! If you are thinking about booking the safari with this company, do not hesitate for a second, and if you can choose those guides, we assure you that your trip will be even better. Although, seeing how they operate, surely every guide and driver is just as professional and friendly. Totally recommended!😊

A 10 out of 10 honeymoon. Totally recommended We could not have chosen a better agency to organize our honeymoon. We left everything in the hands of African Safari Travel and it was a complete success. They met all our expectations and the trip was simply perfect. From the first moment everything was easy. We felt accompanied and calm throughout the entire trip, knowing that there was a team behind us looking out for us. The office was available at any time and, with any question or problem, they always responded and solved it for us quickly. Special mention to our guide, Akram, and our driver, who were a 10. Great professionals, attentive, approachable and, above all, very good people. They made the experience even more special and ensured we take away unforgettable memories of our honeymoon. If you are thinking about organizing a trip and want to enjoy it without worries, we recommend African Safari Travel 100%. We would trust them again without hesitation. Thank you for making our honeymoon an unforgettable experience!

Incredible experience An incredible experience from start to finish We have returned from our honeymoon delighted and we can only recommend African Safari Travel. From the beginning we trusted them to organize such a special experience and the truth is that it was a total success. Everything went great, just as we expected, and the best part of all was the peace of mind of knowing that we were in good hands. We have had facilities at all times, and the office has been available whenever we have needed it, resolving any questions or unforeseen events quickly and efficiently. We want to especially highlight our guide, Akram, and our driver, who have been exceptional. In addition to being great professionals, they are wonderful people who have contributed a lot to us enjoying every moment of the trip. We take away unforgettable memories, a 10/10 experience, and the feeling of having chosen the perfect agency for our honeymoon. A thousand thanks to the entire African Safari Travel team for making everything so easy and for helping us experience a trip that we will remember for the rest of our lives.

The best in Tanzania Safaris! We just returned from an incredible trip through Tanzania and Zanzibar, and we could not be happier with the experience. From the first moment, even when we were just asking for information and evaluating options, we received exceptional attention. ALWAYS available, responding quickly and helping us with any questions, and this attention continued during the trip, where they would write to us just to check if everything was going well. We wanted to personalize some parts of the itinerary and adapt certain transfers and activities to our preferences. They managed everything impeccably, without any complications. The hotels were spectacular, carefully selected, and with incredible locations. The food deserves a special mention: absolutely delicious, very varied, and of great quality throughout the trip. We also want to highlight our guide and driver, who were exceptional. Professional, kind, attentive, and with great knowledge of the country. Without them, the experience would not have been the same. We especially recommend the private tour, as it allows you to enjoy a much more personalized and flexible experience. In short, a 10/10 experience from beginning to end. Professional, attentive, approachable, and perfectly organized. If you are thinking about traveling to Tanzania and Zanzibar, do not hesitate: go with them! They are, without a doubt, the best.
