Tanzania
Kilimanjaro, the Serengeti and Zanzibar in one country. For long-stay travellers the draw is Zanzibar's east coast, where kitesurfing villages and a growing remote-work scene sit alongside Stone Town's Swahili history.
Entrada y visados
Most nationalities need a visa: a 90-day single-entry tourist visa is available as an e-visa in advance or on arrival (US citizens must take the 12-month multiple-entry visa at a higher fee). Zanzibar additionally requires mandatory travel insurance purchased from the semi-autonomous government's scheme since 2024.
