Frequently asked questions

How attractive is Tanzania as a destination for visitors from Iceland?

Tanzania is an appealing destination for some Icelandic travelers, thanks to its stunning landscapes and vibrant cultural heritage. With attractions like Mount Kilimanjaro and Serengeti National Park, it offers adventure and cultural experiences that may attract a portion of the 100,000 Icelanders who travel abroad annually.

Please answer the following question: How safe is Tanzania for tourists coming from Iceland?

Tanzania is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, ranked 63rd out of 160 countries in the Global Peace Index. However, it is important to note that it does not match the safety levels of Iceland, which is ranked 3rd among European countries for safety while walking alone at night. In terms of crime statistics, Iceland has a significantly lower murder rate at 0.5 per 100,000 people compared to Tanzania's 3.7. Additionally, Iceland scores better on various organized crime indices, indicating lower levels of issues such as mafia presence, crime networks, and human trafficking. While tourists from Iceland can visit Tanzania safely, they should remain aware of their surroundings and take standard precautions, as the safety environment is not as secure as in Iceland.
