Issues in Tanzania October 2025

Following the post-election chaos this week, read carefully: https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/conseils-aux-voyageurs/conseils-par-pays-destination/tanzanie/ In particular: "For French travelers needing to take flights from Tanzanian airports, most international flights are canceled until further notice. It’s recommended to go to the airport only if your flight is confirmed by your airline. It’s advised to postpone any travel plans to Tanzania unless absolutely necessary."

Hello,

Thanks for the info, let's hope the situation improves for the locals. Best regards.

Hi,

On "Flightradar 24", you can see there are almost no flights arriving or departing from the main airports in Dar or Kilimanjaro... For all tourists leaving or those already there, it's a critical situation too.

Thoughts for our fellow travelers stuck there, as well as for those who were supposed to leave since Wednesday or in the coming days...!!

The election results are surreal...!! .... and the victim counts from the violence are terrifying!!!

The blindness of the leaders is pushing this country toward dark days, and it’ll have serious repercussions on tourism.
