Tanzania is one African country where you do not have to worry too much about safety. It is hassle-free and the people generally have a laid-back lifestyle. However, you can never be too safe. Let’s consider some safety tips when traveling to Tanzania. The first thing you need to make sure of is that you avoid isolated areas. This could leave you vulnerable to mugging especially if you are traveling alone. When traveling through the country or in the city, take a taxi that doesn’t have another person in it other than the driver.
As for booking safari walks, always make sure you do thorough research on the company and do not pay any money in advance until you are sure you are paying to the correct company. Also, if you have decided to use public means be wary of people who want to befriend you and offer you free food and drinks as they could use this to get close to you and steal from you. You should also be wary of people who walk up to you and claim to offer the best tourist deals. Some will even ask for donations for a cause such as helping orphans and children in need, but such donations should be made through the relevant offices. Avoid hotels that are in seemingly unsecured places and instead choose those that are close to the main roads in cities. You should also be bargaining as this will mean that you have only limited money and the thieves will stay away. Always avoid holding your wallet in your hand as this could give the impression that you have plenty of money to spend.
