Planning a trip to Tanzania—whether it’s a thrilling safari in Serengeti, a Mount Kilimanjaro trek, or a tropical escape to Zanzibar—is incredibly exciting. But before you pack your bags, it’s vital to ensure your passport and entry documents are in perfect order.

Here’s a comprehensive guide to passport requirements and entry tips for tourists traveling to Tanzania.

1. Passport Validity Requirements

To enter Tanzania, your passport must meet the following criteria:

• Valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of entry.
