At Africompass Travel, your safety and well-being are our top priorities. We are writing to provide a critical update regarding the current situation in Tanzania. Following the country’s recent general election, there has been significant civil unrest and violence, leading to a volatile and unpredictable security environment. This advisory is intended to help you make informed decisions about your upcoming travel plans.
Following the disputed presidential election on October 28, 2025, widespread protests have erupted across Tanzania. International news outlets, including the BBC and CNN, have reported a violent crackdown on protesters by security forces, resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries. The United Nations has also expressed grave concern over the situation, citing reports of hundreds killed and detained 1.
The government has imposed a nationwide internet shutdown, making it difficult to obtain real-time information. Curfews have been enforced in major cities, including Dar es Salaam, and the military has been deployed to quell the unrest. Given the current climate, we strongly advise against all non-essential travel to Tanzania at this time.
