Due to the outbreak of Ebola disease in Central Africa, you must undertake health screening and body temperature checks on arrival in Tanzania. If you’re coming from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or Uganda, you also need to complete a Traveller’s Surveillance Form (see ‘Travel’).

We continue to advise exercise a high degree of caution overall in Tanzania due to the risk of violent crime and civil unrest. Higher levels apply in some areas. There’s an ongoing risk of militant attacks and terrorism, particularly in the Mtwara region near the border with Mozambique. Be alert to your surroundings and pay close attention to your personal security (see ‘Safety’).

We advise:
