What Raahi used, when it was last refreshed, and what it cannot promise
Source data supports Raahi’s recommendations; it does not replace the destination’s immigration authority, airline or live booking provider.
Raahi presents visa and entry information for the Indian passport compiled from public datasets. This is general information for planning, not legal or immigration advice.
Visa rules, fees, and processing times change frequently and without notice, and the underlying data can be outdated, incomplete, or wrong. Requirements also depend on your specific situation — purpose of travel, length of stay, past travel history, and connecting/transit countries.
Before you book or travel, always confirmwith the destination country's official embassy, consulate, or immigration website, and with your airline. Raahi holds no responsibility for travel decisions made using this information.
Simplest — keep your number. Activate an international-roaming pack before you leave India (activating abroad is costlier).
Carrier names are a guide; check current tourist plans and coverage before you buy.
Visa/Mastercard are widely accepted, but your normal card adds ~3.5% forex markup plus ATM fees — a forex card avoids both. See Pay like home above for UPI/RuPay where it works.
Under RBI’s LRS you can carry forex within limits; large forex loads attract TCS — check current rules & rates before you buy.

Tanzania feels surprisingly familiar to many Indian travellers because of its large, long-established Indian community and the widespread use of English, which makes navigating easier. The rhythm of daily life, from bustling markets to family-run eateries, often reminds visitors of home.
Indian community
≈ 60,000 of Indian origin
A large, long-established Indian community is concentrated mainly in Dar es Salaam, with smaller but active groups in Zanzibar and Arusha.
Veg / Jain food
Vegetarian food is reasonably easy to find in Indian-owned restaurants and some local cafes, especially in Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar.
Indian food
Look for Indian restaurants in the Indian quarters of Dar es Salaam and Stone Town in Zanzibar, where you'll also find shops selling spices and lentils.
Places of worship
Hindu and Sikh temples exist in Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar, and mosques are plentiful for Muslim travellers.
Tanzania is generally safe for tourists, but like any destination, it pays to stay alert in crowded areas and avoid walking alone at night.

Solo / women
“As in many impoverished countries, caution should always be exercised, particularly in tourist areas, such as Arusha, Stone Town (Zanzibar), and Dar es Salaam. Violent crime against foreigners is not uncommon, particularly against those walking alone at night, which is not recommended. Pickpocketing and con artists…”
