Travel Advisory

Level 3

Reconsider Travel

Reconsider travelto Tanzania due to unrest, crime, terrorism, and targeting of gay and lesbian individuals. Some areas have increased risk. Read the entire Travel Advisory. Unrest Demonstrations often take place in response to political or economic issues. They may also occur on holidays or during large events. Demonstrations can be unpredictable. The Tanzanian government increases security presence around protests. This includes stationary checkpoints and roadblocks. The Tanzanian government limits or does not authorize large gatherings. Crime Violent crime is common. It includes assault, sexual assault, robberies, mugging, and carjacking. Local police have limited resources to respond effectively to serious crime. Terrorism There is risk of terrorist violence, including terrorist attacks and other activity in Tanzania. Visit the U.S. Department of State's country reports on terrorism to learn more. The risk of terrorist violence is most common in the Mtwara Region. Targeting of gay and lesbian individuals Members of the gay and lesbian community have been arrested, targeted, and harassed. People who identify as gay or lesbian may experience a higher likelihood of being targeted by police. People detained under suspicion of same-sex sexual conduct may face invasive physical exams.
