La Tanzanie est-elle une destination sûre pour les touristes ?

La Tanzanie, avec ses paysages époustouflants, sa faune diversifiée et sa culture vibrante, attire depuis longtemps les aventuriers et les amoureux de la nature. Des plaines emblématiques du Serengeti aux hauteurs majestueuses du mont Kilimandjaro, ce pays d’Afrique de l’Est offre de nombreuses expériences aux voyageurs intrépides. Cependant, comme pour toute destination, garantir un voyage sûr et agréable demande de la préparation et de la vigilance. Dans ce guide, nous allons répondre à la question fréquente que les voyageurs se posent avant de partir en Tanzanie : « La Tanzanie est-elle une destination sûre pour les touristes ? »

Sécurité en Tanzanie

Comme partout dans le monde, il est essentiel de prendre des précautions lorsque tu explores de nouveaux endroits. Fais attention à tes affaires, car des vols à l’arraché de sacs ou d’objets de valeur peuvent se produire. Il est conseillé d’éviter de marcher seul(e) après la tombée de la nuit.

Pendant les saisons des pluies, de mars à mai et de novembre à décembre, des inondations peuvent bloquer les routes. Si tu utilises les transports publics à ces périodes, demande conseil aux habitants sur l’état des routes.

En ville, utilise toujours des taxis enregistrés et, si tu utilises des applications de VTC, assure-toi que la plaque d’immatriculation correspond bien au véhicule et au chauffeur enregistrés.

La Tanzanie est-elle sûre pour les voyageuses solo ?

La Tanzanie est considérée comme l’un des pays africains les plus sûrs pour les voyageurs, y compris pour les touristes qui voyagent seules. Cependant, aucune destination n’est totalement sans risque, et il est important de rester prudent(e) lors de tout voyage en solo, quel que soit le genre.

Pour les voyageurs en solo en Tanzanie, surtout les femmes, voici quelques conseils de sécurité supplémentaires :
  1. Reste dans des zones bien éclairées et fréquentées : évite de marcher seule la nuit, surtout dans les zones mal éclairées ou isolées. Privilégie les itinéraires empruntés où d’autres personnes sont présentes.
  2. Choisis bien ton hébergement : opte pour des hôtels ou lodges réputés, avec de bons avis d’autres voyageurs en solo. Assure-toi qu’ils disposent de mesures de sécurité adaptées.
  3. Habille-toi de façon modeste : respecte les coutumes locales en t’habillant modestement, surtout dans les zones rurales et à Zanzibar, où la population est majoritairement musulmane.
  4. Sois prudent(e) avec les inconnus : même si les Tanzaniens sont généralement accueillants, reste prudent(e) avant d’accepter des invitations ou des offres d’inconnus. Rencontre toujours les gens dans des lieux publics.
  5. Reste joignable : garde ton téléphone chargé et sur toi en permanence. Partage ton itinéraire avec quelqu’un chez toi et donne régulièrement de tes nouvelles.
  6. Utilise des transports fiables : utilise toujours des taxis enregistrés ou des applications de VTC fiables. Vérifie le véhicule et le chauffeur avant de monter.
  7. Garde tes affaires en sécurité : sécurise tes objets de valeur et évite d’exposer des articles coûteux comme des bijoux ou des appareils électroniques en public.
Arrivée à l'aéroport
Quel pays est le plus sûr pour les touristes : la Tanzanie ou le Kenya ?

Le Kenya et la Tanzanie sont généralement des destinations sûres et agréables pour les voyageurs, et ils sont connus pour l’accueil chaleureux de leurs habitants. Même si la Tanzanie est souvent perçue comme légèrement plus sûre, notre expérience montre que les deux pays offrent un environnement sécurisé pour les touristes. Comme pour toute destination, il est important de prendre des précautions de base, comme rester attentif(ve) à ton environnement et garder tes affaires en sécurité. Ces mesures de bon sens s’appliquent partout où tu voyages.

À faire :
  1. Se renseigner et planifier à l’avance :
    Avant de te lancer dans ton aventure tanzanienne, renseigne-toi bien sur la destination. Familiarise-toi avec la culture, les coutumes et les lois locales. Assure-toi aussi d’avoir tous les documents de voyage nécessaires, notamment un passeport valide et les visas ou permis requis.
  2. Choisir des tour-opérateurs réputés :
    Pour réserver des excursions ou des safaris, privilégie des tour-opérateurs réputés et agréés comme nous. Ces entreprises respectent les normes et réglementations de sécurité, et offrent une expérience sûre et bien organisée. Lire les avis et demander des recommandations peut t’aider à choisir le bon opérateur. Nous sommes fiers de faire partie des quelques entreprises de safari réputées aux abords d’Arusha, en Tanzanie.
  3. Rester informé(e) des risques sanitaires :
    Priorise ta santé en te tenant informé(e) des éventuels risques sanitaires en Tanzanie. Consulte un professionnel de santé au sujet des vaccins et des médicaments, comme les antipaludiques. Prends aussi des précautions pour éviter les piqûres de moustiques et reste bien hydraté(e), surtout dans les climats chauds et humides. Consulte régulièrement le Ministry of Health de Tanzanie pour toute information mise à jour concernant la destination tanzanienne.
  4. Observer la faune de manière responsable :
    La Tanzanie est réputée pour sa faune abondante, notamment les Big Five (lion, éléphant, buffle, léopard et rhinocéros). Lorsque tu observes les animaux dans leur habitat naturel, garde une distance respectueuse et respecte les règles des parcs. Évite de déranger ou de nourrir la faune, car cela peut mettre en danger à la fois toi et les animaux. De plus, n’emporte pas de nourriture dans la tente d’hébergement ou la chambre d’hôtel à l’intérieur de la réserve naturelle.
  5. Respecter les coutumes et traditions locales :
    Profite de la richesse culturelle de la Tanzanie en respectant les coutumes et traditions locales. Habille-toi modestement, surtout lors de visites de sites religieux ou de communautés rurales. Apprends quelques phrases de base en swahili pour communiquer avec les habitants : cela peut créer de vrais échanges et enrichir ton expérience de voyage.
  6. Faire preuve de prudence en zone urbaine :
    Même si la Tanzanie est généralement sûre pour les touristes, reste prudent(e), surtout dans des villes comme Dar es Salaam et Arusha. Reste vigilant(e) face aux petits délits comme les pickpockets et les vols, notamment dans les zones très fréquentées et les lieux touristiques. Garde tes objets de valeur en sécurité et reste attentif(ve) à ton environnement à tout moment. Nous te recommandons vivement d’éviter les endroits sombres, avec peu ou pas d’éclairage la nuit.
À éviter :
  1. Ne pas voyager seul(e) la nuit :
    Évite de voyager seul(e) la nuit, surtout dans des zones inconnues ou mal éclairées. Reste sur des rues bien éclairées et dans des zones fréquentées lorsque tu sors après la tombée de la nuit. Si possible, organise ton transport via des sources fiables plutôt que de compter sur les transports publics ou de marcher seul(e).
  2. Ne pas afficher ses objets de valeur en public :
    Réduis le risque de vol en évitant d’exhiber des objets coûteux comme des bijoux, des appareils photo ou des appareils électroniques. Garde tes objets de valeur dissimulés et reste discret(ète) lorsque tu les utilises en public. Pense à investir dans une ceinture porte-monnaie ou une pochette cachée pour plus de sécurité.
  3. Ne pas nager dans des zones non surveillées :
    Même si la Tanzanie offre de magnifiques régions côtières et des plages préservées, sois prudent(e) lorsque tu nages, surtout dans les zones sans sauveteurs ni surveillance. Les courants forts et la vie marine peuvent représenter des dangers : choisis des zones de baignade autorisées et respecte les panneaux d’avertissement.
  4. Ne pas camper en dehors des sites prévus
    La Tanzanie offre de nombreux espaces pour camper, mais toutes les zones ne sont pas sûres. Nous conseillons vivement de camper uniquement dans des campings désignés, au sein des parcs nationaux, des réserves ou le long des grands axes. Ces lieux sont plus sûrs que des endroits choisis au hasard. Tu trouveras de nombreux campings publics dans les parcs nationaux, les réserves et les zones touristiques, pour plus de praticité.
  5. Ne pas se livrer à des activités illégales :
    Respecte les lois et réglementations tanzaniennes en évitant toute activité illégale, notamment la consommation de drogues et le trafic d’animaux sauvages. Les sanctions peuvent être sévères et entraîner des amendes, une peine de prison ou une expulsion. Profite de la beauté naturelle du pays de manière responsable et éthique.
  6. Ne pas hésiter à demander de l’aide :
    Si tu rencontres des difficultés ou une urgence pendant ton voyage, n’hésite pas à demander de l’aide. Contacte les autorités locales ou ton ambassade pour obtenir des conseils et du soutien. Pense aussi à souscrire une assurance voyage pour couvrir les imprévus, comme les urgences médicales ou les annulations de voyage.

En suivant ces conseils à faire et à éviter, tu pourras voyager en Tanzanie en toute confiance, profiter de ses paysages captivants et de sa culture vibrante, tout en privilégiant ta sécurité et ton bien-être. Avec une bonne préparation et un esprit d’aventure, ton voyage en Tanzanie sera à coup sûr une expérience inoubliable. Karibu Tanzania — bienvenue en Tanzanie ! Tu as maintenant la réponse à la question que tu te posais : la Tanzanie est-elle une destination sûre pour les touristes ? Parle à notre expert.

A life-time experience We were on a family trip to Tansania and through a recommendation for a Safari operator we got in contact with Kilidove. And what can I say: Right from the moment Sam, our guide for the first week, picked us up at Kilimanjaro Airport, we were complety immersed. And yes, we were tourists, but never really feeled like, but more as guests, with Sam beeing the perfect host - a true lover of the animals and nature, an excellent driver and very attentive and open to share his experiences.

Incredible people! Trip of a lifetime! Kilidove is incredible!! We did the 6 day machame route on Kilimanjaro followed by a 4 day safari followed by 4 days in Zanzibar. The accommodations were amazing, the people were even better and we are both vegan and gluten free and they were able to accommodate (even on the mountain while camping). I cannot say enough good things about this company!! For the trek up Kili our chief guide was Colman and he was so kind, funny, and caring. Because of him we both had a successful and pleasurable experience summiting. He is an excellent guide! For our safari we had Jackson and we saw the big 5 plus every other animal you could think of. He was an excellent safari guide. We had one small hiccup on the trip in Zanzibar with a city tour that got cut a bit short. Notified the company and they were extremely apologetic, comped our dinner for the next 3 nights (which was completely unnecessary but much appreciated) and given a new tour guide for the next day. The trip then ran flawlessly. They most definitely made it right! They are amazing. I recommend kilidove to anyone and everyone for all your Africa adventures!!

Perfect job, and very trustful company to climb Kilimanjaro in a 6 people group Activity: climbing Kilimanjaro.We climbed Kilimanjaro in 7 days by the Machame road.Group of 6 people, with 3 guides 1 chef, 1 waiter and 18 porters (3/pax), which is the norm. Everything went well and we succeeded in our quest to the summit. The guides and all the Tanzanian people with us have been amazing, helpful, and nice ... Considering the lack of comfort and the difficulty of the ascension, we consider that they did a perfect job with the cooperation and the advice. Asante for everything you made for us, to make the dream coming true!!

Mr. Bonny at Kilidove is Amazing! We had Mr. Bonny from Kilidove pick us up from our Arusha hotel and serve as a private guide for 3 nights in the Seregenti, and our return trip back to Arusha. Mr. Bonny was an incredible guide! He was so knowledgable about all the animals and everything we saw on our safari. It was clear how much he loved the animals and at home he was in the Serengeti, having grown up right outside the park. He was able to spot animals so far in the distance, and find the elusive leopard in the tree that no one else could find. Mr. Bonny was engaging, kind and an absolute pleasure to spend time with. It truly was sad to say goodbye to him. I have to also note that Mr. Bonny was a very safe driver. When driving to/from Arusha, we were stunned by the number of safari vehicles speeding by us on the unsafe and rocky dirt roads. Driving in Tanzania is not for the faint of heart, as we witnessed a few accidents, including some cows being hit by a public bus. We were so grateful to him and would highly recommend!

Best safari experience! We spent our honeymoon in Tanzania for a 9 day safari trip in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro national parks and it probably was the most incredible experience we had so far. The booking process was really comfortable and easy, Lisa answered all of our questions quickly and made the safari fit to all our wishes (not leaving the set budget out of mind).We especially want to thank our guide, Sam, for the amazing trip that was mostly his merit. He went above and beyond to ensure we got the most out of our trip. He had a profunde knowledge of all the locations and the wildlife and knew where the best spots for watching wildlife were. No wishes remained unfulfilled. Besides that, Sam was incredibly nice and a great (and hilarious) company during the long car rides. Everybody getting to do a safari trip with him can call themselves lucky!Thank you so much to the whole team, asante sana!

Superb in every way. Highly recommended and without hesitation! Choose Kilidove for the experience of a lifetime! We contacted Kilidove after an online search to find a company that could plan a month-long itinerary including Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania ending in Zanzibar to celebrate my 60th birthday. We received back a professionally presented proposal which we were delighted to find was a privately guided tour. Our only essential requirement was to see the mountain gorillas in Rwanda, but the proposal was comprehensive and varied including safaris as well as cultural experiences. We had to book our own international flights, apply for necessary visas and get certain vaccinations ourselves, but everything else was taken care of without a single hiccup. We stayed in a variety of accommodations from 5-star hotels and lodges to tented camps and they all enhanced our adventure in different ways. The main guides and drivers, Duncan, George and Boni were all professional, dedicated and enthusiastic. Our stand out experiences were obviously meeting the gorillas high up in the mountain in Rwanda, seeing the elusive leopard up a tree in Kenya, spending 90 minutes alone with a lion family complete with four cubs by a water hole in the Serengeti and two hours hunting with the Hadzabe tribe in Tanzania. There were many more, the cheetahs close up in the Maasai Mara and the hot air balloon ride, the many different bird species including huge flocks of flamingos and pelicans, the Karen Blixen Museum in Nairobi, the Genocide Memorial in Kigali, the cycling tour of Mto Wa Mbu, I could write a book! It was a very active holiday so it was nice to just chill out in Zanzibar for five days at the end. Everything was organised by the incredible Lisa Adams who was there to help with any questions via WhatsApp or email throughout the planning process and after we had arrived in East Africa. We were told there are 300+ safari companies in Arusha where she is based and for sure, without hesitation, we would highly recommend Kilidove to anyone. They were superb in every way. As well as that I have now clocked up my 87th country worldwide and my 13th African country. Thank you Kilidove for everything!

A memorable outstanding safari to Kenya and Tanzania , Hakuna Matata We just came back from a wonderful , well planned and organized safari to Kenya and Tanzania for 12 days and with an additional 5 days in Zanzibar from October 6th to October 23rd 2023. We really want to thank Lisa Adams who helped us plan and coordinate this memorable, private safari and leisure time in these countries. We had marvelous, respectful , reliable and so knowledgeable guides and drivers. First, Kelvin Vinkar from Dove Africa, the sister company in Kenya, was on time at the airport and despite the fact that we missed our connection with Qatar airlines, everything turned out quite well with the airlines personnel and we were on time for our schedule to go to our first park Amboseli and to Kibo safari lodge for two nignts. Perfect, we had game drives on both days that were unbelievable with the Kilimandjaro that was so clear. We were able to see so many species of animals such as girafes, elephants, zebras, Thomson's gazelles ,antilopes, impalas, waterbucks, cheetahs and lions with all their beauty and living environment. The Kibo lodge was very comfortable with beautiful views of the Kilimanjaro. We continued our itinary to lake Nakuru, 9 hours of driving and stopping at the incredible Great Rift valley. We were so happy to visit the park as we saw 2 rhinoceros, mother and baby , we were at our 4 th big 5 already . We were a bit late to arrive at the Ziwa Bush Lodge that seemed to be very nice, so quiet and peaceful, the staff accomodated us so nicely for one night, The next morning we left for the Maassai Mara reserve and Olengoti eco lodge at Narok at the Talek river . What a reception on arrival we got by all the staff, an incredible 2 days , having breakfast and dinner with the hippopotams and crocrodiles and beautiful and memorable game drive to the awesome Maassai Mara reserve , The plains are so beautiful and the animals are incredible. We were able to visit a Maassai village near the camp, memorable time with these beautiful people and children. We learned so much of their culture and habits. Kelvin with his calm and patience drove us safely for 5 hours through massai mara reserve to the border of Tanzania. We didn't have trouble to pass the border and customs and Bonnie , Boniphace Sospiter our incredible guide for Tanzania was already waiting for us for the take over. We were heading to the Serengeti park north side to Gnu migration camp. We were the only visitors , what a service we had . With a little of rain but a real blessing as David said. Marvelous meals and attention from the staff, We already start with a game drive that was so wonderful in Serengeti parks with all the beautiful Gnus and Zebras and the next morning a leopard our 5th big five that was missing so far, Bonnie was so knowledgeable, sensitive , very helpful and very accomodating to all our needs and ensure we see animals in all their behaviors of calm or hunting. He ensure in every camp that we always had our lunch to all game drives on long days. We loved so much all the Mawe lodges that we visit along our itinary in Serengeti and Norongoro crater, Karatu and Tarangire national parks. All the teams and personel of the Mawe lodges are so welcoming, so nice and so handsome . We loved everyone we met. Bonnie drove us to the airport after 7 days of intense safari games but so memorable in the savanah . We flew for internal flight to Zanzibar with flight link and other driver Luqman was waiting for us, and drove us to Tembo hotel, in Stonetown, so beautiful and confortable on the beach with a wonderful view of the port. The next morning we were able to have a visit of stone town that was very interesting to learn the history and culture, the big market. We could visit the Freddy Mercury museum. After we left for Pongwe beach hotel for 4 days that concluded in peace and rest at the marvelous beach and resort with excellent cuisine. We will always remember this wonderful trip of East Africa and Zanzibar and we are so happy to have chosen Kilidove safari and tours for planning the trip as everything went so well , so safely and so well organized and the choices of the lodge or camp were so confortable and we ate everywhere so well with an outstanding service with amazing staff. Thank you to every one we met in this incredible journey and you will always remain in our hearts. Hakuna Matata. Louise and Serge from Montréal, Québec, Canada.

"Bucket List Brilliance" We 6 Seasoned Safari Enthusiasts were blown away by The Serengeti Experience. The best decision was adopting Kilidove Tours to hang it all together. Lisa, your Admin. Management was perfect. (even to the extent of organizing a Birthday Party Cake in the Bush). Then there was our Driver/Guide and Friend Bonny, You are simply "The Best".Asante-sana.

5 Stars isn't high enough for Kilidove Tours My husband and I have recently returned from a 15-day private adventure designed and carried out by Kilidove Tours and Safaris. From start to finish this trip was planned and executed flawlessly thanks to the amazing team at Kilidove. On a scale from one to ten, they deserve a fifteen! I could write pages about our experience, but I will try to hit the highlights. From the first contact a year before our trip, Lisa Adams (Kilidove’s operations manager) responded to every question in a series of emails ranging from possible itineraries to vehicle maintenance. The result was the perfect trip that addressed every wish and concern on our list- safari start day in case of travel delays, safari locations, cultural experiences, snorkeling, and a beach retreat. Our safari guide mentioned several times how impressed he was with our personalized itinerary.Eleven months passed between the date we booked our trip and our departure for Tanzania. During that time whenever a question came up, I would send an email off to Kilidove and Lisa would respond immediately. We received guidance on packing lists, luggage limits, visa requirements, and availability of health services. All this information allowed us to be well prepared for our Tanzanian adventure.Once in Tanzania, each person we encountered did everything they could to make us feel at home and worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best experience possible. All the accommodations were clean and comfortable ranging from the Mawe tent lodges to the Zanzibar beach resort. Meals were tailored to an American/European pallet and the greatest care was taken to provide safe water and food in order to prevent any illness. Our drivers and safari guide were the most amazing people. The range of skills they possessed took us by surprise. They are professional drivers, multi-linguists, cultural ambassadors, and wildlife experts. Each one asked us what our wishes and desires were for our trip and work tirelessly to make sure we didn’t leave Tanzania disappointed. Above all they were warm and friendly people with whom we shared many laughs and special experiences. We are forever grateful to Johnson our Arusha guide, Luqman our Zanzibar guide, Habib our Stone Town guide and most importantly Samson our safari guide who showed us more of Tanzania then we could ever have imagined. Thank you all for your hospitality and kindness.Finally, I want to thank Lisa and everyone on the Kilidove team that made our dream vacation a reality. I know during our fifteen-day adventure she kept tabs on us, either through direct contact with me or one of our guides. She was always one step ahead of us making sure that transitions from one part of the trip to the next ran smoothly. I hope that I can return to Tanzania one day and I look forward to that time when we can work together once again.
