Tanzania’s entry rules are published, and they are published in more than one place, and those places do not always agree. This page states what the Tanzanian government itself says, names the source for each rule, gives the date it was read, and says plainly where a rule that everybody repeats could not be found on any Tanzanian government site. That last part matters more than it sounds: entry requirements are the one thing on a trip where a confident wrong answer gets you turned around at a desk.
Where these rules come from
Everything below was read on 21 September 2026 from Tanzanian government sources: the Immigration Services Department’s eVisa portal and its published Visa Guidelines, the department’s own content system, the Tanzania Revenue Authority, the official Zanzibar inbound insurance portal, and Tanzanian diplomatic missions. The currency, Zanzibar levy and plastic bag sections were rewritten on 23 September 2026 against the Bank of Tanzania, the Zanzibar Revenue Authority and the National Environment Management Council, each of which publishes a rule an earlier version of this page reported as unpublished. Where a foreign government’s travel advice is used, it is labelled as such and used only as corroboration.
Two warnings the government itself gives. The Visa Guidelines state: “Visa regulations and conditions may be subject to change at any time without prior notification to the applicants.” And: “Visa applicants are advised to make their applications through the Official Tanzania Immigration Services website (www.immigration.go.tz) ONLY and Not through any other online links.” There is a substantial industry of lookalike visa sites. The official portal is visa.immigration.go.tz, reached from immigration.go.tz.
Do you need a visa?
Travellers fall into three groups, and which group you are in decides everything else.
Group one: no visa required
The Visa Guidelines give the rule in prose: nationals of East African Community member states, SADC member countries except Comoros, and Commonwealth countries except the United Kingdom, Canada, Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Australia and New Zealand.
The Immigration Department separately publishes an enumerated list of 71 exempt countries and territories. The two do not reconcile — the enumerated list contains entries the prose rule cannot generate, Romania among them. Both are current Tanzanian government pages. If you think you are exempt, verify your own nationality against the enumerated list on immigration.go.tz rather than reasoning from the prose rule, and if the two disagree for you, ask the nearest Tanzanian mission before you fly.
Group two: visa required, and obtainable on arrival
Most visitors are here. The Visa Guidelines list around 160 nationalities “eligible for both Online as well as on arrival Visa facility”, including Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Group three: referral cases
Nationals of the countries below cannot obtain a visa on arrival unless they have prior approval from the Commissioner General of Immigration, and nor can stateless persons or people with refugee status. They must apply online and wait for approval before travelling.
The list published on the eVisa portal: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Chad, Eritrea, Guinea Conakry, Guinea Bissau, Iran, Iraq, the Kyrgyz Republic, Lebanon, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Palestine, Somalia, Syria, Sierra Leone, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Yemen.
Two inconsistencies to be aware of, both between Tanzanian government pages read on the same day. The Immigration Department’s own content system publishes the same list without Nigeria. And Burkina Faso appears on both the eVisa portal’s visa-on-arrival list and its referral list, in the same document. Anyone affected should treat themselves as a referral case, apply online, and allow the full lead time.
The guidelines are specific about that lead time and about the risk: referral applicants “are advised to submit their Visa applications at least two months before the date of travel” and “are not advised to pay for flight tickets or accommodation or make other reservations until their visa are approved.” They may upload a trip itinerary instead of a flight ticket, and must upload an invitation or application letter addressed to the Commissioner General.
Which visa, and what it costs
Tanzania issues six types of visa. There is no product called a “tourist visa”: tourism uses the Ordinary visa, with one important exception.
| Type | Fee (USD) | Validity | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ordinary (single entry) | 50 | up to 90 days | The tourism visa. No work or business. |
| Multiple Entry | 100 | up to 12 months | Maximum 90 consecutive days per visit. |
| Business | 250 | up to 90 days | Single entry. See the fee warning below. |
| Transit | 30 | not exceeding 7 days | Transit only, explicitly not tourism. |
| Student | 50 / 250 / 300 / 550 | varies by programme | Language courses capped at six months. |
| Gratis (Diplomatic) | none | — | Diplomatic, service and official passports. |
A fee contradiction worth knowing about. The Immigration Department’s own content system lists the Business visa at 50 USD, while the eVisa guidelines and the official guidelines PDF both give 250 USD. Both are Tanzanian government pages, both live on 21 September 2026. The guidelines document states the figure twice and is the more formal instrument, so it is the one reproduced above — but a business traveller should confirm before paying.
Separately, the Tanzanian embassy in Washington publishes Ordinary-visa rates for Pakistan and Ireland that appear nowhere in current headquarters guidance. Mission pages go stale. The guidelines on the eVisa portal are the current statement.
The American exception, which catches people every year
This is the single most-missed rule in the set, and the guidelines state it twice.
Section 1: “All visitors wishing to come for tourism purposes are required to apply for an Ordinary Visa EXCEPT American nationals (USA Passport holders) who are required to apply for Multiple Visa.”
Section 11.3, in case there was any doubt: “American nationals are not entitled for Ordinary Visa; this implies that, USA passport holders who wish to visit Tanzania for tourism or holiday MUST apply for Multiple Visa even If they plan for single entry.”
So a US passport holder on a single two-week safari pays 100 USD for a Multiple Entry visa, not 50 for an Ordinary one. The Immigration Department attributes this to a bilateral agreement between the two countries.
There is a practical consequence that the guidelines do not spell out. Tanzania lists the United States as eligible for a visa on arrival, but the UK’s own travel advice states that a multiple-entry visa cannot be obtained on arrival. Those two statements sit awkwardly together, and the safe course for a US passport holder is to apply online in advance rather than arrive and find out which reading the officer takes.
The re-entry concession
Useful for a multi-country trip: “Holders of Ordinary Visa who will visit any of the East African countries after arrival to Tanzania may use the same Visa when coming back to Tanzania provided his Visa is still valid.” So a Tanzania–Kenya–Tanzania itinerary does not necessarily need two Tanzanian visas. That is a concession on Tanzania’s own visa; it is not a joint regional visa.
On the East Africa Tourist Visa
Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda issue a shared East Africa Tourist Visa. No Tanzanian government source consulted shows Tanzania participating in it. The phrase appears nowhere in the Visa Guidelines, nowhere in the official guidelines PDF, and nowhere in the Immigration Department’s content system, and the East Africa Tourist Visa is not among the six visa types Tanzania publishes. This page records that as strong negative evidence rather than an official denial — but planning a Tanzanian leg on an East Africa Tourist Visa would be planning on something Tanzania does not publish.
Applying online, or on arrival
Both routes are lawful. The guidelines say so directly: “There are two options available for obtaining Tanzania Visa. The first option is obtaining Visa by applying online… and the second option is obtaining Visa on arrival at official entry point. It is recommended to use online Visa application platform.”
The eVisa is not mandatory, and the government’s recommendation is not a requirement. But there are three reasons to take the recommendation.
- It removes the arrival-hall queue and the risk of a payment problem at the desk.
- It is the only route for a referral nationality, a stateless person or a refugee.
- For a US passport holder it avoids the multiple-entry-on-arrival question entirely.
What the online application needs
- A copy of the passport biographic data page.
- A return ticket. Referral applicants may substitute a trip itinerary.
- The completed application and declaration form, filled online.
- Payment of the fee.
- A photograph: colour, plain background, full face from top of hair to bottom of chin, eyes open, no head covering except for religious reasons, no shadows. Maximum 45 mm by 35 mm, maximum 500 KB, JPG or JPEG only.
A hotel booking is not on the government’s list of required uploads for an Ordinary visa. Nor is proof of vaccination.
Timing, payment and what the approval is not
Processing time: “Visa applications will be processed within ten days save for Referral visa category.” Referral cases: apply at least two months ahead.
Payment: Visa or Mastercard online, and the fee is not refundable if the application fails. That rule is not in the Visa Guidelines; it is in the eVisa portal’s terms and conditions, under the heading “Non Refund Policy”: “All Visa fees are pre-paid, non-refundable and non-transferable”, applying among other circumstances “upon rejection/denial of the Visa application”.
Every traveller applies separately. “Every Passport holder is required to have his/her own Visa application submitted. In this case, even minors who are filled in their parents’ Visa applications must have their own separate Visa applications submitted.” A family of four is four applications and four fees.
And the approval is not an entry permission. The guidelines are explicit: “It should be noted that receiving a Visa Grant Notice is not a final authority to enter the United Republic of Tanzania. The Immigration Officer at the Entry point may refuse entry.” What you receive online is authorisation to travel and present yourself; the decision is made at the desk.
Passport, tickets and what you must be able to show
- Passport validity of at least six months, and at least one unused visa page, at the time of applying.
- A return ticket, or evidence of onward travel. The two government sources differ, and the difference matters to anyone leaving overland. The Visa Guidelines say: “Visitors MUST show their Return Ticket upon arrival (at the entry point) in Tanzania.” The Immigration Department’s own entry-requirements page asks instead for a “Return ticket or evidence of onward travel arrangement”. If you are flying home from a neighbouring country, or leaving Tanzania overland, carry the onward booking, and be ready for an officer working from the stricter wording.
- A completed and signed arrival declaration card, presented in person.
- Evidence of funds for maintenance — the Immigration Department’s entry-requirements page lists an “upkeep budget” among the things a traveller is expected to be able to demonstrate. No threshold is published.
On arrival you will normally receive a Visitor’s Pass, which a Tanzanian mission describes as valid “not exceeding three months (and not exceeding six months for citizens of EAC Member States)”. The visa gets you to the desk; the pass is what governs how long you may stay.
Zanzibar: one visa, two administrations, and a compulsory insurance
Zanzibar is part of the United Republic of Tanzania and has its own immigration administration, its own Commissioner of Immigration, and its own entry charge. Three things follow.
One visa covers both
The guidelines: “If an applicant wishes to visit both Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar, he/she is advised to select his first destination while filling the form. But he will be allowed to visit both places without a need for a new Visa.” Select the place you will actually land first. A traveller flying into Kilimanjaro and on to Zanzibar later selects the mainland; one flying straight into Zanzibar selects Zanzibar.
The mandatory inbound travel insurance
This is the newest and most commonly missed requirement, and it is confirmed by Tanzanian government sources.
The Tanzanian High Commission in Ottawa published a travel advisory dated 1 October 2024: “from October 1st, 2024, all visitors/tourists to Zanzibar (excluding residents) must have mandatory inbound travel insurance from Zanzibar Insurance Corporation.” The official Zanzibar inbound portal states the same thing in Swahili and English.
What the scheme’s own terms say:
- It is “operated by the Zanzibar Insurance Corporation (ZIC) under the directives of the Government of Zanzibar”.
- “All visitors to Zanzibar must have this insurance. No alternative packages or providers are accepted.” Your existing travel policy does not substitute — the portal answers that question directly, and the answer is no.
- “Possession of this Mandatory Insurance is required for entry into Zanzibar.”
- It must be bought through the official portal at inbound.visitzanzibar.go.tz. “No third-party services are available or authorized.”
- Cover runs for a maximum of 92 consecutive days, is non-renewable, takes effect on arrival with no waiting period, and is one policy per visitor per trip.
The cost is stated two ways by two arms of the same scheme. The government portal’s own FAQ gives a flat “US $ 44… per visitor”. Zanzibar Insurance Corporation’s page gives a tiered structure: USD 44 per adult, USD 22 per child, and USD 22 for travellers from SADC and EAC member states. The portal’s own interface adds that infants aged 0–2 are free and children aged 3–17 get a 50 per cent discount. Budget on the adult rate and expect the discounts to apply.
The only exemption stated in a Tanzanian government source is residents. Citizens of EAC and SADC countries are not exempt; they pay the reduced rate. Nothing found exempts mainland Tanzanian citizens travelling to the islands.
Divers have one more thing to check here. The scuba diving guide explains why this policy is not diving cover, and what divers on this coast normally arrange in addition to it.
The infrastructure levy
Zanzibar does charge visitors an infrastructure tax per person per day, collected through accommodation, and the amount is published. The body that levies it is the Zanzibar Revenue Authority, at zanrevenue.org — established under the ZRA Act, No. 11 of 2022, which repealed the Zanzibar Revenue Board Act, No. 7 of 1996 and the Board with it. An earlier version of this page went looking for that Board, at a domain that still resolves but no longer answers, and wrongly concluded that no Zanzibari government source published a figure.
The instrument is Part Seven of the Finance (Public Revenue Management) Act, No. 9 of 2015, which the Authority publishes in a text consolidated to 2025 and titles “The Infrastructure Tax 2015 Consolidated 2025”. Section 20(3) sets the rate on a guest staying in a hotel in Zanzibar by the hotel’s star rating: 5 US dollars per person per day at a five or four star hotel, 4 dollars at a three or two star hotel, and 2 dollars at a one star hotel “and others”. Two rates sit above that scale, both 10 dollars per person per day: one for a hotel located on a small island within Zanzibar, and one for a room located under water. Each is payable in dollars “or its equivalent in Tanzania Shillings”.
Three figures are in circulation, and this page will not pretend they agree. The Act gives the scale above. The Authority’s own infrastructure tax page summarises the same tax differently, as a rate that “ranges from $ 1 to $ 5 per person per day depend of the hotel star rate” — a dollar lower at the bottom than the Act it cites, and silent on the small-island rate. And since August 2024 tour operators and hotels have widely reported the charge as a flat 10 dollars per person per night; no Zanzibar government source found here says that, and operator pricing pages are not a source of law. Treat the Act as the instrument, the Authority’s range as an approximation of it, and get the figure for your own hotel in writing.
Ask your accommodation, in writing, what per-night government charges will be added to the bill and in what currency, before you arrive. Separately from the infrastructure tax, the same authority publishes a hotel levy of 12 per cent on the chargeable value of hotel, guesthouse, restaurant, tourist vessel and tour operation services, and 15 per cent on residential houses rented for tourism including online platforms, under the Hotel Levy Act No. 1 of 1995 as revised in 2025. Any such charge is a Zanzibar government levy and is not part of a mainland safari quote — see how much a Tanzania safari costs.
Health requirements, and the yellow fever rule
This is where the honest answer is uncomfortable, so here it is.
The Immigration Department’s entry-requirements page says: “a traveler is supposed to observe health guidelines as provided by Ministry of Health in Tanzania from time to time. Currently there are special conditions imposed for yellow fever and Covid-19. Prospective visitors are advised to read respective guidelines from the Ministry of Health.”
So the government confirms that a yellow fever condition exists, and points at the Ministry of Health for its content. The Ministry of Health publishes it. A search of the ministry’s own site for “yellow fever” returns two documents, “Yellow Fever Entry Requirements in Tanzania” and “Yellow Fever Entry Requirements in Tanzania Mainland”. Both are scanned notices rather than web pages, which is why a text search of the site misses them, and an earlier version of this page wrongly reported that no such guidance existed.
Tanzanian missions abroad state it less carefully than the ministry does. The embassy in Paris, for instance, carries the single line “Yellow fever vaccination needed for Zanzibar” on a page whose fee and referral information is demonstrably out of date — which is a reason to work from the ministry’s notice and the WHO list rather than from a mission’s summary.
It is a risk-country rule, not a blanket one. The World Health Organization’s International Travel and Health country list — the register states notify their requirements to, revised 3 January 2023 — records Tanzania as requiring proof of vaccination from travellers aged one year and over who arrive from a country WHO determines to be at risk of yellow fever transmission, and from those who have transited such a country’s airport for more than twelve hours.
This matters most on the commonest East Africa routing. Both Kenya and Uganda are on WHO’s list of countries at risk of transmission, so a trip that begins in Nairobi or Entebbe and continues to Tanzania is a risk-country arrival, and the certificate applies. The UK and Canadian governments describe the rule the same way, though neither is a Tanzanian source and neither states the twelve-hour threshold.
What to do about that, practically:
- Ask your own country’s travel health service, which maintains the transmission-risk country list your airline will check against.
- Ask your airline, which is the entity that will deny boarding, and which checks documentation before you reach a Tanzanian officer.
- Ask a Tanzanian diplomatic mission for your itinerary specifically, including any stopover, and keep the answer.
- If you are routing through a yellow fever country on the way — which many East Africa itineraries do — treat the certificate as necessary rather than optional.
Beyond yellow fever, malaria prophylaxis, routine vaccinations and anything altitude-related for a Kilimanjaro climb are medical decisions for a doctor who knows your history, taken weeks before departure rather than days.
Customs, money and what you may carry
Duty-free allowances
Published by the Tanzania Revenue Authority, on a page headed “Returning Resident and First Arrival”. The allowances below are the ones that page sets out under its heading “Passengers’ Baggage and personal effects”, for goods imported by passengers arriving from outside the customs union’s partner states — not the separate and much wider concessions it gives a person changing residence. Duty is not levied on, per passenger:
- Spirits including liquors, or wine, not exceeding two litres.
- Perfume and toilet water not exceeding half a litre in total, of which no more than a quarter litre may be perfume.
- Cigarettes, cigars, cheroots, cigarillos, tobacco and snuff not exceeding 250 grammes in total.
- Goods up to a value of 2,000 US dollars per traveller, in accompanied baggage, declared to an officer, provided the traveller has been outside the partner states for more than 24 hours.
Two conditions on that last allowance: it is granted only to passengers aged eighteen or over, and it does not apply to unaccompanied baggage.
Currency, and the declaration threshold
The Bank of Tanzania publishes it. The Foreign Exchange Regulations, 2022 — made under section 6(1) of the Foreign Exchange Act (Cap. 271) and published as Government Notice No. 294 on 13 May 2022 — provide at regulation 4 that a person who enters or leaves the United Republic while in possession of foreign currency exceeding ten thousand United States dollars or its equivalent shall declare it to the Customs authorities at the time of arrival or departure, as provided for under the Anti-Money Laundering (Cross Border Declaration of Currency and Bearer Negotiable Instruments) Regulations, 2016. An earlier version of this page reported that no Tanzanian source published a threshold; that was wrong, and the regulations are on the central bank’s own regulations index.
Two things follow that catch people out. The duty runs both ways: leaving with more than the equivalent of ten thousand dollars is as declarable as arriving with it. And it is a declaration, not a limit — the regulation requires you to declare the sum, not to ask permission to carry it.
Practically: US dollars are widely used for park fees and tour payments, and older US notes are frequently refused — carry recent series. Card payment is now the norm for government charges, as the TANAPA tariff’s payment note makes clear.
Plastic bags
Tanzania prohibits plastic carrier bags, and the gazette text is published by the National Environment Management Council. The instrument is Government Notice No. 394 of 17 May 2019, the Environmental Management (Prohibition of Plastic Carrier Bags) Regulations, 2019, made under section 230(2)(f) of the Environmental Management Act (Cap. 191). An earlier version of this page reported that no Tanzanian source stating the rule could be found; it is on the Council’s own publications server.
Scope. The regulations came into force on 1 June 2019 and apply to the import, export, manufacturing, sale, supply, storage and use of plastic carrier bags within Mainland Tanzania. A plastic carrier bag is defined as a bag made of plastic film, with or without handles or gussets, “to which its layer is in any thickness” — so there is no thickness below which a bag is acceptable. Because the regulations apply to the mainland, they do not state the position in Zanzibar, and this page does not extend them to the islands.
What happens at the border. Regulation 18(2) requires the relevant authorities to confiscate plastic carrier bags brought into Mainland Tanzania in contravention of the regulations at the point of entry, and to dispose of or recycle them. Regulation 17 sends an imported consignment found at a point of entry back to the country of export at the importer’s cost.
Penalties. Regulation 8 grades them by conduct. For possessing and using — the limb a traveller would fall under — the penalty is a fine of not less than thirty thousand shillings and not more than two hundred thousand shillings, or imprisonment for a term not exceeding seven days, or both. Selling, storing, supplying, exporting, manufacturing and importing carry heavier penalties, rising to a fine of up to one billion shillings or two years’ imprisonment for manufacturing or importation.
What is exempt, and what these regulations do not say. The exemptions in regulation 9 are for plastic packaging for medical services, industrial products, the construction industry, the agricultural sector, food processing, and sanitary and waste management. The regulations say nothing about a traveller’s sealed toiletry bag, or about the resealable bag airport security asks for — neither permitting it nor naming it. Travellers are widely told such a bag is allowed; that permission, if it exists, is not in this instrument, and this page will not put it there. Travel without plastic carrier bags, and ask at check-in if you are unsure.
Wildlife products
Foreign advisories consistently warn that exporting wildlife products, including shells and horn, requires a permit from Tanzanian authorities and that arrests occur. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism’s site did not respond when checked. Treat anything of animal origin as requiring a permit you do not have.
Gemstones are a separate matter, sitting with the mining authorities and customs rather than with the shop that sold you the stone. If you have bought one, taking a tanzanite stone home sets out the documentation to ask a seller for.
Children and families
- Every child needs their own visa application and pays their own fee, including a child listed on a parent’s form.
- Where a Multiple Entry visa is applied for on a family-visit basis, birth certificates are required as proof of relationship for children and a marriage certificate for a spouse.
- The Revenue Authority’s duty-free allowance applies only from age eighteen.
- Zanzibar’s inbound insurance is free for infants aged 0–2 and half price for children aged 3–17.
- No Tanzanian government source was found stating any rule about unaccompanied minors, parental consent letters, or documentation for a child travelling with one parent. Several countries in the region do have such rules; Tanzania’s position could not be established, so ask a Tanzanian mission if this applies to you.
Frequently asked questions about Tanzania entry requirements
Can I still get a visa on arrival?
Yes, for most nationalities. The Visa Guidelines describe visa on arrival at an official entry point as one of two available routes, and recommend the online route instead. Referral nationalities, stateless persons and people with refugee status cannot use it without prior approval from the Commissioner General.
Which airports and land borders issue visas on arrival?
The government says only “official entry point” and “designated entry points”; no Tanzanian source consulted names them. Foreign advisories refer to the “main ports of entry”. If your route is unusual — a remote land border rather than a main airport — get the visa online in advance rather than relying on this.
I have a US passport. Do I really need the 100-dollar visa for a two-week holiday?
That is what the Immigration Services Department publishes, in two separate places: US passport holders are not entitled to the Ordinary visa and must apply for the Multiple Entry visa even for a single entry. Apply online before travelling.
How long can I stay?
The Ordinary visa has validity up to 90 days. The Multiple Entry visa runs up to twelve months but permits a maximum of 90 consecutive days per visit. What actually governs your stay is the Visitor’s Pass issued at the desk — described by a Tanzanian mission as not exceeding three months, or six for EAC citizens.
Do I need a hotel booking to apply?
Not for an Ordinary visa. The published requirements are the passport data page, a return ticket, the completed form and the fee, plus a compliant photograph. Referral applicants have additional requirements.
Does my existing travel insurance cover the Zanzibar requirement?
No. The official portal answers this directly: proof of international insurance is not accepted, and the policy must be issued by the Zanzibar Insurance Corporation. Buy it through inbound.visitzanzibar.go.tz and nowhere else.
Do I need the Zanzibar insurance if I am only going to the mainland?
The requirement as published applies to visitors to Zanzibar. If your itinerary never lands in the archipelago, it does not arise. If it includes even a short beach extension, it does.
Do I need a yellow fever certificate?
Only if you are arriving from, or have spent more than twelve hours in transit through, a country the World Health Organization lists as at risk of yellow fever transmission — in which case it applies from age one. Kenya and Uganda are both on that list, so the commonest East African routings do require it. The Ministry of Health publishes its own notice, and the certificate becomes valid ten days after the dose, so this is not a decision to leave to the airport. Your airline checks documents before a Tanzanian officer sees them.
Does Tanzania accept the East Africa Tourist Visa?
No Tanzanian government source consulted shows Tanzania participating. The East Africa Tourist Visa is not among the six visa types Tanzania publishes and the phrase appears nowhere in its guidelines. Tanzania does offer a narrower concession: an Ordinary visa holder who leaves for another East African country can re-enter on the same visa while it remains valid.
How long before I travel should I apply?
The government’s stated processing time is ten days for ordinary applications and two months’ lead time for referral cases. Add margin: the portal’s terms and conditions make the fee non-refundable on rejection, so a resubmission costs another fee and another wait.
What if the rules have changed since this page was written?
Assume they may have. Everything here was read on 21 September 2026, and the guidelines themselves warn that conditions “may be subject to change at any time without prior notification”. Check visa.immigration.go.tz before you apply, and treat any figure on any website, including this one, as a pointer to the source rather than the source.
Where this leads next
- Best time to visit Tanzania — the two rainfall regimes the country actually runs, and what each month gives you.
- How many days do you need in Tanzania — what each trip length genuinely holds.
- Getting around Tanzania — arriving, and moving between the circuits and the islands.
- How much does a Tanzania safari cost — the published park fees, dated and sourced, and what the visa sits alongside.
- Climbing Kilimanjaro: what to know — including the insurance questions a climb raises that a safari does not.
Booking a trip around these dates
This site does not sell trips, take bookings or handle payments, and it is not able to apply for a visa on anyone’s behalf. It lists safaris run by Tanzania’s own tour operators, and an enquiry goes to the operator who runs the trip.
Browse the safaris listed by Tanzanian operators, read about the companies behind them, or start from the destination guides. Whoever you deal with, apply for the visa yourself through the official portal, and get the yellow fever answer for your own routing before you buy a ticket.
