Tanzania Safari and Beach Holidays

The windswept plains of the Serengeti, the snows of Kilimanjaro, the exotic spice island of Zanzibar... to recite Tanzania's scenic highlights is to recite a list of Africa's most evocative place names. For this is a land blessed by geography, encompassing within its vast borders a lion's share of the continent's natural wonders.

Additional Information

Visa Requirements

UK passport holders require a visa to enter Tanzania. This can be obtained on arrival - the visa fee is currently US$50 cash. Alternatively, you can apply for a visa prior to travel, in person or by post, to the Tanzania High Commission in London. For more information, see: https://tzhc.uk/. Passports must have at least six months validity.

As of Jan 2019, it is now also possible to apply for a Tanzanian e-visa online. The application process is simple and does not require you to send your passport in the post. Visit the Tanzania evisa application portal for more detailed instructions.

If flying via Kenya, a Transit Visa is only required if you leave the airport and enter Nairobi city. You will not need a Kenyan transit visa if you are flying to Tanzania via Nairobi without leaving the airport.

We recommend that you double check the visa requirements before travel as the rules can change.

Non-UK passport holders: please consult the Tanzanian embassy or consulate in your home country for the latest advice on visas and entry requirements.
