Informed Decisions
We are continuing to stay up to date on advisories and recommendations from the CDC, WHO, State Department and preferred airlines. We encourage you to stay informed on these as well.
If you have already booked your trip with Thomson Safaris, you can expect to hear from someone on the Thomson team in the months leading up to your departure to discuss possible options for postponing.
In the meantime, the team in Tanzania has been working tirelessly to develop new procedures and protocols for future trips, and we can’t wait to welcome you back to Tanzania.

Reducing the spread of COVID-19 remains a challenge for communities around the world. This is especially true in rural Tanzania, where the high infection rate of the virus poses a threat to vulnerable communities. We support the work our partners are doing to reduce a risk of infection and create lasting resilience in their communities.
