WHAT TO PACK

Soft bags are preferable to rectangular suitcases and the weight of luggage that can be carried on small aircraft is limited to 25-53 pounds depending on the size of the plane. Osero Safaris will also be glad to store any excess luggage at our head office at no extra charge.

TRAVEL

Tanzania requires that you have a valid yellow fever inoculation certificate to be shown upon arrival. We also recommend that you check with your local physician for the appropriate Malaria prophylactics. Should you need any assistance with your travel arrangements, please contact our office.
