Your Safari: Luke Samaras Safaris Ltd., keeps a well stocked medicine box in the main camp, including snake-bite serum and anti-malaria tablets. Each hunting car also carries a first aid box. Malaria is prevalent in Tanzania and all clients are advised to seek medical opinion prior to their safari to obtain malaria prophylactic tablets which should be taken a week before you start your safari and continued for four weeks after you leave Tanzania. The Tanzanian Government also requires a valid verification certificate for yellow fever for entry into the country. We also advise that you consult your physician as to other vaccinations that you may require and to bring with you any particular medicines that you may need during your safari.
Lightweight but protective clothing is recommended, green of khaki being the most suitable colors. Trousers or shorts are usually worn with a loose fitting shirt. Comfortable footwear is essential (something similar to desert boots), as are a wide brimmed hat and sun glasses, also a wool sweater or jacket for the evening and early mornings. Clients might like to bring a change of clothes for evening in the camp. However, we do not recommend that luggage be kept to a minimum if a charter flight is necessary due to the weight restrictions on the light aircraft.

Please Note: While clients are guaranteed one of each species relevant to the safaris that they have booked, the multiple animals of certain species that are allowed on these safaris are subject to quota availability.
