Can I climb Kilimanjaro during the coronavirus pandemic? (25 March 2022 update)
Mount Kilimanjaro is currently open for business. We explain the Covid-19 protocols that travellers to Tanzania must follow.

Tanzania's international travel rules
All travellers are required to truthfully fill in an online Traveller's Health Surveillance form within 24 hours before arrival into Tanzania. We will provide you with details about how to best fill in this form before your departure to Tanzania. (Those travelling to Zanzibar must go to this page to fill in their health form instead.) All fully vaccinated travellers must present a valid vaccination certificate with QR code upon arrival. The only accepted vaccines are those approved by the URT and the World Health Organisation (WHO). But great news: you don't need to present a negative PCR test, nor are you eligible for a rapid test on arrival! Travellers who are not fully vaccinated or are unvaccinated must present a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR or NAAT certificate with QR code obtained within 72 hours before departure. You'll be tested upon arrival for the virus using a rapid antigen test, which will cost you US$10 USD (Tsh 23,000) in mainland Tanzania. If your test result is positive, you'll be required to self-isolate. (If this is you, it's advisable to register and pay online for the rapid test to avoid queuing.) When leaving Tanzania , check your airline's and destination country's coronavirus requirements.
