The Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism in Tanzania has declared that it is now safe for leisure travellers to visit National Parks, Game Reserves and other tourist attractions in the country.
An official statement signed by Nteghenjwa Hosea, the Head of Government Communication Unit in the Ministry, claims that the country is still a safe place for foreigners and other tourists to visit.
“As a committed member of the United Nations Tourism Organization (UN Tourism), Tanzania upholds international standards in ensuring the safety and well-being of all travellers,” reads part of the Ministry statement.
According to Ms Hosea, all the country’s entry and exit points, including airports, harbours, border crossings, roads and railway lines are ‘safe’ and have remained in full operation around the clock.
“Travellers are therefore encouraged to proceed with their plans to visit and explore the attractions in Tanzania with confidence,” Hosea maintained.
As it happens, the official statement from the Ministry of Tourism comes shortly after the United States elevated the travel advisory status for Tanzania from level 2 to 3.
On the 2nd day of November the U.S Department of State updated its Travel Advisory for Tanzania previously issued on October 31, 2025 to reflect that the Travel Advisory Level for Tanzania increased from Level 2 to Level 3.
The update advised U.S residents to reconsider Travel to the East African country and automatically replaced the previous Travel Advisory issued on September 5, 2024.
“The advisory level increased from Level 2 to 3. The ‘unrest’ risk indicator was added. Reconsider travel to Tanzania due to unrest, crime and terrorism, among others,” revealed the department.
Tanzania was recently plunged into post-election chaos that left hundreds, mostly young people, dead with the country experiencing a week-long night curfew, internet shutdown and transport blues.
But despite the chaos emanating from protestors, tourist vehicles plying the country roads, especially in the Northern Regions were never touched.
The Islands of Unguja and Pemba in Zanzibar were however not affected by the mainland clashes.
