Medicinsk granskad

Senast uppdaterad: October 13, 2025

Tanzania attracts travelers with safaris in the Serengeti, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, and paradise beaches on Zanzibar. Before your trip, it's important to review your vaccination protection. Recommended vaccines include hepatitis A, tetanus, diphtheria, and protection against malaria. For longer stays, vaccines against hepatitis B, typhoid, cholera, and meningococcal disease may also be relevant. A yellow fever vaccination is required in some cases for entry.
At VaccinDirekt, you'll receive professional travel health advice based on your travel plans, previous vaccinations, and the current health situation in Tanzania.

About Tanzania

Tanzania is located in East Africa and is one of the continent's most diverse travel destinations. Here you'll find the savannas of the Serengeti, the peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro, and the beaches of Zanzibar. The country offers everything from safaris and wildlife experiences to relaxation along the coast.
The tropical climate also brings a risk of diseases such as malaria and other infections that are uncommon in Sweden. Therefore, vaccinations, mosquito protection, and good hand hygiene are important parts of your travel preparations.
