Is Tanzania safe to travel alone?

Tanzania is an extremely secure nation in general, with most single travelers experiencing a trouble-free vacation!

However, theft and pickpocketing can occur in major cities and towns.

Going out on your own in cities is normally safe as long as you follow a few easy safety procedures and be alert of your surroundings.

Here are some additional safety tips for solo travelers in Tanzania:

Always bring only the money you'll need with you. To avoid big losses, leave your valuables in your lodging.
When out and about in town, don't flaunt your jewelry or timepieces. This merely makes you a more attractive target for petty crime.
Avoid going out after dark. This will also make you a more attractive target for criminals. If you must go at night, make arrangements with your lodging ahead of time for a registered taxi or shuttle service.
