In coastal regions and on the islands the tropical temperatures are between 25-35°C. The months of June to September are the most pleasant climatically. From mid/late October to early December is the northeast monsoon and from mid/late March to late May brings the southeast monsoon. During this time, heavy rains may occur.

Entry:
Tanzania requires a visa. For entry you need a valid passport, a return ticket and US$50 in cash. This will give you a tourist visa for 90 days. You can apply for the visa in advance at the embassy in Tanzania, thus avoiding long waiting times at the airport. On the spot you have to apply for another visa, for which you have to bring US$ 250 in cash, 6 passport photos and a color copy of your passport. Our partner companies will assist you with the application process.
Since the requirements and details of the individual visas change at short notice, we cannot guarantee that the information is up-to-date and complete. The Jamso Trainee Team therefore recommends that you check the website of the respective embassy for the current visa requirements.
Money:
It is recommended to take cash with you. US dollars are exchanged into local currency at almost all banks. The exchange of euros into local currency is limited to the major cities and certain hotels. Withdrawal of cash by EC cards is hardly possible. It is recommended to take credit cards (VISA / MasterCard) for easy travel.
Further travel advice:
A yellow fever vaccination is required. For the program in Tanzania you also need an extended police clearance certificate.
Food and Drink:
One of the most famous foods is ugali (solid porridge made from cornmeal). It is often served with meat dishes, vegetables and almost all stews as a side dish.In Tanzania, people like to drink tea. In addition to black tea, there are many refreshing varieties, which are flavored with ginger, among other things. Coffee is also often drunk in Tanzani.
