How we write these
Anything specific to a Clerisa journey comes from us. General Tanzania information is drawn from published sources, and each article lists the ones it used at the bottom.
Where rules change often, particularly visas and health requirements, we point you at the official authority rather than repeating a number that may already be wrong. A confident wrong answer about a visa can cost somebody their trip.
If you spot something out of date, tell us and we will fix it: karibu@clerisasafari.com.
