• COVID-19: Entry protocols for yachts have been affected by the pandemic. See the Biosecurity section for details.
• In line with a general opening up of the country to tourism, cruising yachts are now welcome to all parts of the country and even areas which were closed in the past, such as Pemba Island, are now accessible by sea. The underwater scenery and marine life are of comparable beauty to the spectacular interior of the country.
• Unfortunately with this development comes a negative impact on the environment and the freedom to anchor wherever you want. Dynamite fishing has had a drastic impact on the local reefs and ecology, something which fortunately is no longer practised. The reefs will take time to recover but reports are encouraging.
• The main attractions inland are the game parks, such as the Serengeti or Ngorongoro, which can be visited by leaving the yacht in the care of one of the yacht clubs. Tanga Yacht Club is particularly welcoming to visiting yachts.
• Provisions are sometimes in short supply. Occasionally there are temporary water shortages due to power failures and all water should be treated and possibly filtered as well. Some simple repairs are possible in the bigger ports, but there are not a lot of qualified marine systems workers here and any spares must be flown in from abroad.
