Travel Update

Dear Roy Safaris Guests,

We are closely monitoring recent global news regarding the Ebola outbreak in parts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We want to assure our traveling community that there are zero reported cases of Ebola in Tanzania, and all Roy Safaris operations continue to run normally.

Our affected neighbors—specifically regions in the DRC and Uganda—are geographically distant from Tanzania’s primary wildlife destinations like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The safety of our guests remains our absolute priority, and you can book and travel with full peace of mind.

The Tanzanian Ministry of Health and border authorities maintain strict health safeguards to keep visitors safe:

  • Geographic Isolation: There are no official land crossings between Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
  • Massive Distance: The current outbreak in Northeastern Congo is thousands of kilometers away from Tanzania’s safari circuits.
  • Airport Screening: Routine, proactive health screenings remain active at all international airports to monitor incoming travelers.
  • Local Readiness: Public health teams are fully operational to ensure the country remains safe and completely Ebola-free.
