SAFETY

SAFETY

You are likely coming to Tanzania to see wild animals in their natural habitat so that in its self is a risk. Safety is always  a difficult question to answer and heavily depends on one’s risk tolerance. If you check your home country’s travel advisories then you will probably see a warning issued with a high level of risk noted for Tanzania. At Xpolorist we are well-healed travellers and quite often the situation on the ground is much different. At the time of writing the border area with Mozambique in the Mtwara Region was considered t be quite dangerous. There are good and bad people everywhere but socio-economic pressures and changing political landscapes in countries can change things quickly.
