We continue to advise reconsider your need to travel overall due to recent civil unrest and violent protests, including limited access to airports. The security situation across Tanzania remains unpredictable. Curfews have been lifted but may occur again at short notice. Foreigners may experience increased attention from local security authorities, and there have been reports of temporary detentions (see ‘Safety’).

There are widespread disruptions to transport nationwide, including roadblocks. 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 if it is safe to do so.

Telecommunications and internet services have been mostly restored but disruptions may continue. 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 recent civil unrest and violent protests, including limited access to airports, and the risk of violent crime. 

Higher levels apply in some areas.
