Kenya requires a yellow fever certificate for entry - Tanzania does not.
Ref: malaria - we have been to Africa several times before but the last time being 15 years ago - in those days malaria tablets made you very ill. My doctor assures me there is a new one, that is also suitable for Cameron which you only have to take a f.ew days before you arrive and two weeks after you get back. I can get you the name if you like?
Relieved to know there is someone else Cameron's age. Have you been with Tauck before? We have been on numerous Disney adventures but never tauck.

They are cousins, not siblings. Both love animals. Boy has no fear of anything.
Girl will be senior in H S next yr.
We are booked on the Aug. 11 Family Safari in Tanzania - Grandmother, grandfather and 13 1/2 year old granddaughter. We did a Tauck tour in S. AFrica a few years ago and loved it and got hooked on Safaris.
We can't wait!
PS - we never got shots or took anti-malaria meds ( which can have terrible side-effects). We have traveled all over the world -India, Egypt, Zimbabwe, the Amazon, and on and have never had a problem.
Not sure how many of you check Trip advisor but there have been numerous posts recently regarding yellow fever inoculations. In some recent cases .... a couple of weeks ago the plane was checked at disembarkation (foot of the plane steps) and those persons entering Tanzania without a yellow fever certificate were given the inoculation at the airport.....then and there, for a fee.
If you don't wish to run the risk or the hassle with child think it would be advisable to get the injections and certificate before you leave for Africa? In the main I believe it is those persons entering from another african country...... but suggest you double check the unofficial web sites before making a decision........as one person arriving from amsterdam wrote...... great way of making cash... when the cash flow is running low???
See you on the 28th July......looking forward to it.
(It was added to their schedule due to the overwhelming popularity of the safari trips this season)
It's my parents 50th wedding anniversary; it's always been their dream for all of us to go on safari together & we are all very excited. We will have a girl age 6, and 3 boys ages 9, 16 & 21 in our group of 11. Most of us are just now getting around to the clothes and shots prep for the trip. We are getting the shots from an organization called Passport Health; they are nation wide. It seems they are the only one-stop-for-all-shots-needed location.
5 of us are from the Dallas, Texas area and 6 are from the Scottsdale, Arizona area.
