When to go
The dry seasons, January-February and June-October, are best for climbing Kilimanjaro and for safaris. The long rains (March-May) make trails muddy and many camps quiet.

Good to know before you go
The currency is the Tanzanian shilling and Swahili is the language, with English widely used. There is no public transit for visitors here, so getting around means arranged transfers, taxis, or your safari operator's vehicle; US dollars are accepted for tours, so book safaris and treks through licensed operators, and check vaccination and visa requirements before you go.
Entry requirements and health
Visa on arrival or e-Visa
A visa is needed, and the easy part is you can usually get it right on arrival or online beforehand. Bring the fee and the right papers and you're set.
Vaccines and health
Many travellers get vaccinated against hepatitis A and typhoid, which spread through food and water. Yellow fever proof only comes into play if you're arriving from a country that has it. Malaria is present in some areas, so ask a clinic whether antimalarials make sense for your route.
General orientation for a Canadian passport on a short tourist trip, not legal or medical advice. Confirm with official sources, and see a travel health clinic four to six weeks before departure.
