Tanzania

We’ve reviewed our advice for Tanzania and have raised the overall travel advice level. We now advise reconsider your need to travel overall due to civil unrest and violent protests, including limited access to airports, following presidential elections. The security situation across Tanzania remains unpredictable. Curfews have been lifted but may be reimposed at short notice.

Airlines are resuming services but may take time to return to normal flight schedules. Access to Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam is limited. You’ll need ID and a copy of your ticket to get through checkpoints to airports. You or your vehicle might also be checked. Contact your travel provider or airline to confirm your flight and proceed to the airport only if it is safe to do so. Otherwise, shelter in place.

Telecommunications and internet services have been restored but may continue to experience disruptions. Avoid protests, demonstrations and large gatherings. Check local media for updates and follow the instructions of local authorities (see ‘Safety’).

We advise:

Reconsider your need to travel overall due to civil unrest and violent protests, including limited access to airports, and the risk of violent crime. 

Higher levels apply in some areas.
