Visa

Very disappointed with Tauck Visa information. Tauck Journey Department was no help. I had to go to an outside company that was a big ripoff. They charged my Amex 1400.00 for a $330.00 charge. They did credit my card after much stress and many phone calls. To top it all off when we got to Tanzania people lined up to get a Visa there for $50.00. What a rip off. Tauck needs to do better. Don't use Tauck for your Visa.

    Jo, you were obviously not reading the information that Tauck provides. They make it very clear that you do not have to use their visa services. In addition, They give you a link to the correct Tanzania governing website to get an Evisa. We did this for our trip just a few months ago. In fact, as I understand it, Americans can no longer get visas on arrival. It’s only people from certain countries that can now do that. Also, you say they were lining up for $50 visas. The price for a Visa for a US citizen is $100. For some other countries, it is $50. So maybe they were not Americans in line. We also had the experienced of getting an Evisa for our daughter who is British for her trip and her’s was only $50, which of course caused the rest of us to joke at least she was cheap for this trip.
    Maybe you went to one of the many bogus Tanzanian government websites.
