Tanzania - Health
On 10 September 2019, the World Health Organisation (WHO) was made aware of unofficial reports of an unexplained death of a person in Dar es Salaam, United Republic of Tanzania. It appears probable that this was an Ebola-related death. As of 31 October 2019, PHE believes there is no evidence of ongoing active transmission of Ebola in Tanzania.
A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required and you will need to show this to Immigration when clearing in.
Malaria and Dengue Fever are present all along the coast. Do your research carefully re. recommended medication. Screening the boat at night (starting at around 17:30) goes a long way towards preventing mosquito bites. If going ashore at night, use a mild spray containing DEET.
It is not advisable to swim in fresh water, because of the danger of the bilharzia parasite. AIDS is endemic in East Africa.
Do not drink untreated tap water. Water at the dock is not purified in most places and therefore should be treated/filtered prior to filling tanks.
