Traveling from Nairobi, Kenya to Arusha,Tanzania | Safarilink Flight, Visa and Vaccine Requirements

Thank You for watching and please SUBSCRIBE I’m very excited to share our bucketlist trip to Africa with you all (July 2024) Instead of booking with a tour group, we planned and booked mostly everything on our own for Kenya and Tanzania If you enjoyed this video I’d appreciate your subscription ! We knew for sure that we wanted to see Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania since we watched an Amazing Race episode held there several years ago We considered Masai Mara since it was in Nairobi, Kenya where The Giraffe Manor was, a bucketlist hotel that’s been high on my list for years. If you missed that video, I’ll link it below. Eventually, we decided to go to Serengeti National Park in Tanzania — which was an AMAZING decision as you’ll see in my upcoming videos ______ Lets get started with the VISA travel requirements... As US citizens, we are required entry visas for each country 🐘Tanzania Visa: -https://immigration.go.tz/ -$100 application fee and valid for multiple entry for a year ($50 for ordinary visa) -we applied online 3 weeks before our visit and received a grant notice via email within 3 days ⚠️make sure to print it out as you’ll need to fill out and sign the last page! -you may also apply in person as a U.S. passport holder 🦒Kenya eTA (electronic travel authorization): -https://www.etakenya.go.ke/en -valid for 90 days of issuance -single entry application fee $32 plus fees -we applied 3 weeks before our visit and received our eTA via email within 3 days of application ______ A trip to Africa isn’t without its health risks so proper vaccination and preparation is necessary to avoid illnesses Yellow fever is the one you’ll most likely need for your trip to Africa. It’s not always required so make sure to do your research. For our trip, it was required to enter Tanzania if you’re coming from Kenya. Initially we planned to visit a Passport Clinic, which are available throughout LA county. Passport clinics are specific clinics that provide travel vaccines and medications, ones that aren’t typically stocked at your primary doctor’s office — like the yellow fever vaccine However, we learned that Kaiser actually has their own travel clinic! It was very convenient to make an appointment and speak with one of their providers to tailor which medications we specifically needed based on our destinations. Of note this is NOT a paid or sponsored post, we are simply sharing our positive experience during the process The mandatory vaccine was the yellow fever one and they give you the required proof of vaccination card (which is also yellow) — make sure to keep this card as you’ll need to show it at the airport in the US and in Tanzania. We got this vaccine for free at Kaiser. It would have otherwise cost at least $600 for my husband and I at a passport clinic We also received the recommended vaccines: Dtap and Hep B, along with prophylactic anti Malaria Pills ______ Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:10 SafariLink lounge and flight 02:39 Arriving at Kilimanjaro International Airport 03:35 Traveling from Kilimanjaro International Airport to Arusha 04:31 Arriving at Gran Melia Arusha Hotel 05:35 Gran Melia Arusha Deluxe Red Level Mount Meru Room Tour 06:07 Red Level Lounge Gran Melia Arusha 07:20 Breakfast at Gran Melia Arusha 07:45 Traveling to Ngorongoro Crater 07:51 Outro ______ WATCH NEXT: NGORONGORO CRATER    • 4K | Ngorongoro Lodge Melia Collection | B...   THE GIRAFFE MANOR, NAIROBI, KENYA    • The Giraffe Manor Nairobi | How to Book | ...   #africatravels #africatrip #safariafrica #africansafari #tanzania #tanzaniatravel #arusha #luxuryhotels #luxurytravel #bucketlisttravel
