Yellow fever certificate — REQUIRED for Ecuadorian citizens: Ecuador is a yellow fever endemic country (particularly the Amazon region and Pacific lowland areas). Tanzania requires a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate for travelers from Ecuador. The vaccine must have been administered at least 10 days before entry. Carry the original international vaccination certificate at all times.
Note: Travelers from Quito (high-altitude, Andean region) may be in a lower-risk zone, but the safest approach is to get vaccinated — and Tanzania's immigration may still require the certificate regardless of which part of Ecuador you're from.
