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:
If you require a test to return home, tests are available at any time from a hospital in Moshi that is less than 1km from our office. The test results will be reported back 48 hours later. A test certificate will be issued and will be valid for another 72 hours. The cost of the test is Tsh 230,000/= (approximately $100 USD payable in Tanzanian shillings only). The price is the same whether you are a citizen or non citizen. To get tested during off hours or holidays the test center needs to be given one days notice.
Notes: Currently KLM flights that land in The Netherlands require all passeengers to have a certificate verifying a negative test result. It has been announced that effective 26 January 2021 all passengers arriving in the US will need a certificate verifying a negtive test result.
We wish you good health and safety and look forward to working for you.
