Our Head of Ops, Sofia@hardestadventures.com, advises and is more than happy to assist you when arranging your:

  • Travel Insurance
  • Relevant Visas
  • Flights
Vaccinations — Tanzania Recommended: Hepatitis A, Tetanus, and Typhoid.
Also consider: Hepatitis B, Diphtheria, Rabies (Tanzania is high risk), and Yellow Fever.

If you have chosen the charity fundraising option, your fundraising deadline is 8 weeks before your challenge start date. With the support of your charity rep, Hardest Adventures, challenge leaders, and University, it's almost impossible not to reach your target.

In the unlikely event the target isn't met by the deadline, here are your options:

  1. If you're above 80% of your target and have plans in place, your charity can grant you a 2-week deadline extension.
  2. You can put your own money in and fundraise it back afterwards — as long as you don't keep more than you put in.
  3. You can defer to next year's trip for a small fee, giving you an extra year to hit your target.
Our Promise We want you to take on this adventure of a lifetime — and we'll do all we can to help you do so.
