For your Info travellers!

IMPORTANT NEW ANNOUNCEMENT & ENTRY REQUIREMENT FOR TANZANIA TRAVELLERS 🇹🇿‼️

From 01. October 2026 it will be mandatory for international travellers to have the new Inbound Travel Insurance also for Tanzania mainland.
(So far it was only mandatory for Zanzibar since Oct. 2024)

It will be valid for up to 92 days and the cost is

If you combine Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar, apparently only one insurance will be required & purchase depends on the first point of entry :

Visitors entering through Mainland Tanzania will
be required to obtain inbound travel insurance from the National Insurance Corporation (NIC).
