British passport - applied for our Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari. The team spotted that my photo was the wrong format and fixed it, and both eVisas were approved days before we flew into Kilimanjaro.
Tanzania eVisa for Egyptian citizens
Tanzania eVisa for Egyptians at a glance
Egyptians need a visa for Tanzania. Apply online for the Ordinary eVisa - one visa covers the mainland and Zanzibar, with a choice of single or multiple entry and no embassy visit.
Good to know: one eVisa covers mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar. Zanzibar separately requires its mandatory travel insurance (about USD 44), and processing is slower than many visas - apply early.

Rated 3.5 / 5 by 2,147 verified travellers worldwide. Here are a few recent reviews from customers we have helped with their visa applications.
US passport - they sorted the multiple-entry visa US citizens have to use without me having to figure it out. Clear all-inclusive price and a printed grant notice that worked fine in Zanzibar.
Indian passport - quick and stress-free for our beach week in Zanzibar. They reminded me about the island travel insurance, which I had no idea about. Approved comfortably ahead of the trip.
