Travel Departures: Tanzania advice
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ARMED policemen or people posing as policemen are responsible for part of the growing crime wave in Tanzania, warns the Foreign Office. 'Although Tanzania remains generally safe for visitors, there has been a growing number of robberies, sometimes with violence,' says the FO's Travel Advice Unit (071-270 4129). 'Attacks on campers in isolated areas parks have also occurred, and travellers are advised to stay near lodges or at official campsites. Theft is common on public transport.'
Visitors are also warned to respect Muslim sensibilities, particularly in Zanzibar.
