In short- Tanzania is absolutely safe for tourists. Tourism provides a large part of the country’s foreign income and the local authorities take matters of security very seriously. This said, all towns and cities have their share of petty crime and sensible precautions need to be taken. At night in towns, it’s best to use a taxi or Uber (for Dar es Salaam) and In-drive (for Arusha), rather than walking around the streets. Single women in particular need to be careful and we suggest that it is safer to be in a group of not less than 3 individuals.
