We continue to advise reconsider your need to travel overall due to recent civil unrest and violent protests, including limited access to airports. Following the 29 October presidential election, 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 have been widespread disruptions to transport nationwide, including airport delays and roadblocks. You should arrive at the airport early so you don’t miss your flight. 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.

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.
