Is Tanzania safe after the elections of October 23rd 2025?

Although Tanzania experienced post-election unrest following the October 2025 general elections, the country has returned to normalcy and remains open and welcoming to visitors. During the election period there were protests in some urban centres and temporary disruptions, including an internet blackout and movement restrictions, which prompted heightened travel advisories from several foreign governments at the time. 

Since then, the Tanzanian Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism officially confirmed that peace and stability have been restored, and that tourism services across the country are operating normally. Airports, parks, border crossings, and hospitality businesses continue to welcome international travellers, with no ongoing curfews affecting the main destinations. 

Many travellers now report that safaris, beach holidays, and Kilimanjaro climbs are running smoothly, and daily life in most regions. Especially popular tourism zones like Arusha, Serengeti, Zanzibar, Usambara Mountains and Kilimanjaro feel calm and safe for visitors. 

Like anywhere in the world, standard precautions (e.g., keeping aware of local guidance) are always recommended, but the overall environment for tourism remains positive and welcoming.

Tanzania continues to shine as a safe travel destination, with its vibrant culture, remarkable natural beauty, and warm welcome offering visitors memorable experiences, independent of recent political developments.
