Exercise a high degree of caution

Terrorists are likely to try to carry out attacks anywhere in Tanzania. Terrorist groups could attack with little or no warning, targeting hotels, embassies, restaurants, malls and markets, police stations, places of worship, and other places frequented by Westerners. Be alert to your surroundings and pay close attention to your personal security. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination or negative RT-PCR tests results are no longer needed to enter Tanzania.
