Travel in East Africa: Tanzania: holidaymakers need compulsory insurance
In addition to a visa, travelers must obtain a policy from the national insurance company. How much it costs, where to get it - and why it makes a difference where you enter the country.
Tanzania now requires visitors to have an Inbound Travel Insurance, effective October 1. The insurance, which costs around $44 per person and is valid for 92 days, covers medical emergencies, lost luggage, and medical evacuations. The policy can be purchased online from the National Insurance Corporation or upon arrival in the country.
Travelers are also advised to consider having an additional international health insurance policy. Those visiting Zanzibar, which is part of Tanzania, can purchase a similar mandatory insurance from the Zanzibar Insurance Corporation.
