Health
As long as you stay up-to-date with your vaccinations and take basic preventive measures,
you're unlikely to succumb to most of the health hazards covered in this chapter. While Tan-
zania has an impressive selection of tropical diseases on offer, it's more likely you'll get a
bout of diarrhoea or a cold than a more exotic malady. The main exception to this is malaria,
which is a real risk throughout the country. Road accidents are the other main threat to your
health. Never travel at night, and choose buses over dalla-dallas to minimise the risk.
