The following vaccinations are required before entry into Tanzania:
• Yellow Fever: This is only required if you are arriving from or transiting for more than 12-24 hours from a country with a high risk of yellow fever transmission, and is NOT required if you are traveling directly from the US or Europe. Apart from being up to date with your routine vaccinations, it is also recommended to include the following in your regimen: Rabies, Meningitis. Polio, Tdap Vaccine (Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis), Typhoid, and Hepatitis A & B.
• Hunt with an experienced PH who is knowledgeable about the area, species, and conditions.
• Listen to your PH and follow their instructions implicitly. It is their job to get you out of there in one piece, with your chosen trophy.
• Ensure that you have done your homework and know the anatomy of the animal you are targeting, to ensure accurate and correct shot placement.
• The minimum caliber rifle for dangerous game hunting in Tanzania is a .375. Ensure that your rifle meets or exceeds this.
• Don’t be in a rush; take your time to get the perfect shot in.
• After that perfect shot, be ready for a follow-up shot or two in quick succession.
• Use vegetation to your advantage to remain undetected while approaching the animal downwind.
• Always remain alert and ready; the bush – and its inhabitants – wait for nobody.
