Dear Friends,
We are ready for you! Operations have resumed some months ago and we are fresh and invigorated!
We are thankful that Tanzania has been more fortunate than most countries regarding Corona Virus. The country has been declared free of Corona since July. But since we accepting tourists from all over the world, the government is taking measures to insure the safety of all tourists and Tanzanian citizens. The policy is that for countries and airlines that require you to have a Corona test before returning, a test with negative results will be required to enter the country. For all other cases, no test is required. There will be basic health screening done at the airport on arrival. We request that all clients have medical and evacuation insurance or sign a waiver accepting these costs should they be necessary. From our end, there are several safety measures that will be put into place to keep you safe. There is a position that has been created on Gladys Adventure staff in charge of your health and safety related issues. The country has put into place health facilities and evacuation means designated specifically for tourists. We have created a webpage Health & Safety dedicated to keeping you updated about what to expect during your stay and to answer your questions.
Specifics Regarding COVID Testing While in Tanzania:
Covid-19 PCR tests are available at a hospital located less than 1km from Gladys Adventure office. Testing times are daily 09:00 - 13:00 and the results will be back in 48 hours. The cost for the test is $100 USD. Those testing negative will be given a certificate valid for the next 72 hours. Currently KLM Airlines requires both a PCR test and a Rapid Test taken the same day as flying.
Covid-19 rapid tests are being done at all international airports in Tanzania. If you require a test before you fly home, you are advised to be at the airport 5 hours before flight departure. The cost of the test is $25 USD.
As of 13 February a test facility located in the Seronera portion of the Serengeti (central Serengeti) is in operation.
