The form will be completed and signed and will include the following information for each guest:

• Name and contact details of next of kin or friend who is not travelling with you to Tanzania
• Details of guest’s travel history (other than the current trip) within the month prior to arrival in Tanzania

Temperature Monitoring of Guests and Staff:

Temperatures of all guests will be taken on arrival, at the start of their Tanzania Wildlife Adventures  trip. (Depending on the method and place of arrival, this might be at the airport, or hotel, or other appropriate location.) Temperatures of guests will then be taken each day after breakfast, for the duration of the guest’s stay, by the driver-guide. On each occasion, a non-contact thermometer will be used and the temperature will be recorded. Any temperature of 37.5 C or above requires action. For staff, temperatures will be taken each time they begin a shift or finish a shift: a non-contact thermometer will be used and all temperatures will be recorded.

In the event that a guest or staff member registers a temperature of 37.5 C or above, the procedures described in section 9, below, must be followed immediately.
