…and your travel plans in Kenya & Tanzania
Update 2023
Dear Jambo Kilimanjaro clients!
The situation is changing daily and there is constantly new information regarding the spread and related restrictions. Due to the very dynamic situation we recommend to check with the German Foreign Office or GOV.UK.
The German government has introduced differentiated travel and safety advisories per country. These will be based on the assessment of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI).
