Tanzania eVisa tips
Apply well in advance, as processing can take longer in peak safari season. Check whether you need a yellow fever certificate, which depends on the countries you travel through.
Safaris, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar
If you're going on safari or climbing Kilimanjaro, your tour operator usually arranges park and climbing permits, but you still need your own Tanzania visa. The same visa covers mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar, so one application is enough for a combined trip. Make sure the dates on your application cover your whole stay, including any time on Zanzibar at the end of a safari.
