A valid visa is required for travel to Tanzania. A passport with a minimum validity of 6 months prior to expiry is required. A single-entry visa is valid for 3 months from the date of issue. Visas-on-arrival are available at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) for US$50. (For U.S. Citizens, the cost is US$100 for a multiple entry visa.) However, it is advised that visitors travelling from a country where visa services are available should obtain a visa prior to arrival in order to avoid potential delays at the airport.

EXCELLENT Based on 13 reviews Paweł C2022-09-16Verified The Safari of our lives Our tour guide Yusuf had the biggest influence on our unforgettable experience. He was the best driver, that could spot any animal from a huge distance, even when driving very fast. He was happy to go with us on all kinds of Safari adventures. His knowledge, professionalism, and experience in combination with his sense of humor, engagement, and positive attitude have shown us a true African spirit. Thank you, Yusuf - our Rafiki. Special thanks to Bacari, who one day gave us only plain pancakes for breakfast, but the other day he prepared delicious soups, pizza, barbeque, kapusta, french fries, and a carrot dish altogether. Thank you, chef. We highly recommend Twitcher Team for your Safari trip! Kociak, Kamila, Adrianka and Paweł. Jason d2022-09-06Verified Wonderful Cultural Experience and awesome guide! Highly Recommended My time in Datoga Village was not only exciting and memorable, but it was carefully executed with the acute professionalism of my awesome friend and tour guide Usup ! My experience began with a complimentary airport pickup and concluded with an airport drop off. After submitting my personal itinerary desires, Yusup ensured that my goals were safely and seamlessly met. While in the Datoga village, which beautifully borders Tanzania's majestic Lake Eyasi, I was greeted with the warmest hospitality by members of the Datoga tribe, many of which are his actual family members :). Moreover, they treated me as their own and showed me their daily cultural traditions. They shared with me their way of life and allowed me to photograph them organically. I really enjoyed my time there and must say my favorite memory would be them all singing and dancing for me as a welcome/departing gift :) I also enjoyed sleeping beneath the milky way each night! All in all, my photographic journey wouldn't be complete without the awesome guidance of my guide, and I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to visit the Lake Eyasi Region of NW Tanzania. Thank you Usup and I hope to see you and your wonderful family again one day! Manuela W2022-08-17Verified Cultural exchange Great guide and trustworthy human! Unique experience to meet lokal people and have a look into tribe live. If you are interested in cultural exchange with the datoga or the hadzabe tribe you are with the perfect man. I loved the option to ask all my questions and to be in contact with the people of tanzania Idoall162020-01-06Verified Una experiencia inolvidable Hicimos una visita a varias tribus de la zona del lago Eyasi con nuestro guía Yusuph, el mejor guía de todo Tanzania. Gracias por esa experiencia inolvidable!!!! Paolo D2020-01-05Verified Unforgettable experience! We went with Yusuf to visit the Hadzebe and Latoga tribes near Lake Eyasi. It was unforgettable, especially the hunting with the Hadzebe bushmen, which live as hunter gatherers as they did for millennia. A truly unique experience. Yusuf speaks their "click" language as he grew up with some of their kids, so he could give us insight on their life and translate for us. Ieltxu Lauzirika2019-11-10Verified Great experience! We stayed in Yusuph's sister's house as she is a couchsurfer and she mentioned her brother is a tour guide so we went with him to see the local tribes and also the Ngorongoro Crater. The experience was wonderful. He has a great knowledge and he is a really nice guy. We can say now we gained a good friend after this tour. Marek R2019-11-07Verified Great adventure We were on 8 days safari trip with Yusuph and it was amazing. Beautiful nature, wild animals, lots of birds. We've seen big five :) We also enjoyed visiting local tribes. Absolutely unforgettable experience. Daniel Sánchez2019-11-02Verified A great option to visit the tribes Yusuf is the perfect gide to see the tribes around the Lake Eyasi.
