Travellers arriving in Africa are required to have permanent passports that will be valid for at least six months from the date of arrival and contain at least three free pages.
Visitors to Kenya are now required to apply online for an electronic travel authorisation in advance of travel. Some exemptions apply and can be found in full on the website of the Kenyan Civil Aviation Authority https://www.etakenya.go.ke/en
Climate
It is important that you understand the climates of the places you will visit. Some people expect that all of Africa is always hot and are quite surprised at the cold temperatures on the rim of Ngorongoro Crater. Nairobi (at 1661 m) and Arusha (at 1403 m) are both at fairly high elevations and can be cooler than people expect. It is advisable to bring a light fleece for first things and evenings.
The coasts of Kenya and Tanzania including the islands of Zanzibar and Mafia Island have much warmer climates.
It can rain any time during the year. Rain is more common in April, May and November. The April/May rains are generally heavier at night with some showers during the day. Around the month of November, showers are frequent but often short.
Health and Vaccinations
Many countries in Africa now require proof of yellow fever vaccination for travellers arriving from or having visited countries listed as endemic for yellow fever. As Tanzania is considered endemic, you are required to provide the proof of vaccination when travelling between these countries – both by air and road.
Travellers transiting in airports who are in a country for less than 6 hours and do not leave the airport are not required to provide the vaccination certificate. However, as travel plans may change (such as flight cancellations) it is a good idea to have this vaccination and carry the certificate when you travel. If you have been advised by your doctor that you should not have the vaccination, a letter from your doctor confirming this is generally accepted in lieu of the certificate.
