Traveling to Tanzania soon? 🇹🇿 There’s a new travel requirement to keep in mind❗
From today, 1 October 2026, travellers entering Tanzania are required to have a government-approved travel insurance. The insurance costs USD 44 per person and is valid for up to 92 days. Which insurance you need depends on where you enter Tanzania first:
✈️ Entering via mainland Tanzania?
For example, flying into Kilimanjaro or Dar es Salaam, you’ll need the Tanzania Mainland insurance
🌴 Entering via Zanzibar?
If Zanzibar is your first point of entry, you’ll need the Zanzibar insurance.
The good news: if you’re travelling to both mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar, you only need to purchase the insurance once. The policy also covers the other part of Tanzania during the same trip.
Save this post for your next Tanzania trip, and share it with someone who’s planning to visit Tanzania soon 🤎
