Flight Planning.

Visa & Documentation

Most Tanzanian travellers need a Turkish visa or e-Visa. Requirements can change, so rather than relying on general information, we prepare and submit your application based on the current requirements at the time of your trip — as part of your treatment package.

Flights

Most journeys from Dar es Salaam or other East African cities to Istanbul connect through a Gulf or European hub. We book your flights around your treatment schedule and confirm your full itinerary before you travel.

While You're There

Staying &
Getting Around.

Accommodation

Hotel or serviced-apartment accommodation close to your clinic or hospital, chosen to support your recovery and make follow-up visits straightforward.

Transfers

Airport pickup and transfers to your accommodation and clinic are arranged as part of your travel support — no need to navigate Istanbul alone.

Money & Payments

Turkey's currency is the Turkish Lira. Cards are widely accepted at hotels and most clinics, though it's sensible to carry some cash for smaller purchases and transport.

On the Ground

You're Never
Navigating Alone.

This page is general orientation — the specifics of your trip depend on your treatment plan and travel dates. For anything case-specific, your dedicated Gabby Consultants coordinator is your point of contact before, during and after your visit.
