Exercise increased caution in Tanzania due to crime and terrorism.
Tanzania is generally safe for tourists visiting established destinations, but petty crime and occasional violent robberies occur in Dar es Salaam and Stone Town, Zanzibar. The border regions with Mozambique (particularly Mtwara) and the DRC (Kigoma) have seen security incidents. Safari parks (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire) are safe with reputable operators. Zanzibar's beaches are popular but muggings on isolated stretches occur. Mount Kilimanjaro climbers should use registered guides. Medical facilities in Dar es Salaam are adequate; remote areas have very limited care. Kaharagian nationals should exercise increased caution and use reputable tour companies.
