In

advised not to leave any valuables in their hotel room when
they go out, but to make use of the safe deposit boxes which
are available at most hotels and lodges. As in all major
cities, it is advisable to avoid back streets at night
(especially alone); in fact is it much safer to avoid night
walking altogether and use taxis or self-drive hire cars
instead. Tanzania and Kenya has an excellent police force
and most hotels have experienced security personnel and
caring doormen.

stocks are usually small and of the common sizes and brands.
For game and bird photography a telephoto lens of 200-300mm
is strongly recommended. Twin lenses reflex cameras are
generally impractical. It is wise to equip yourself with
plenty of batteries, ultra-violet filter and lenses hood as
these are seldom available when on Safari.
Visitors are advised that it is an offence to photograph
Tanzania head of state, military installations, policemen in
uniforms, etc. As a general rule elsewhere, visitors are
strongly advised to seek permission before taking any
photographs.
