K & T - Tanzania and Kenya have Eliminated Covid Entry Testing Requirements
Good news for those of us with upcoming K & T plans. Tanzania has just eliminated pre-arrival PCR testing and airport arrival antigen testing requirements for those who are fully vaccinated. The 24 hour travel questionnaire with QR code remains. Kenya has also dropped testing requirements for the fully vaccinated. That is helpful for anyone like us transiting through Kenya on the way to Tanzania. This sure makes life easier in the days leading up to departure. Of course the Covid travel landscape is ever changing, but this is good news right now.
