A safari company should be defined by its guides — not its marketing.
Why KisangaraAfrica’s largest protected ecosystem — quieter than the northern circuit.
Southern CircuitMost nationalities need a visa to enter Tanzania. Here is what to arrange before you fly.
Most visitors enter Tanzania on a tourist visa — either on arrival or as an e-Visa applied for online. Fees are clear, and the process is usually straightforward if your passport and documents are in order.
Citizens of many Western countries — including the US, UK, EU states, Australia, Canada, and Japan — typically use a standard tourist visa for up to ninety days. You can get it on arrival at Kilimanjaro (JRO), Dar es Salaam (DAR), or Zanzibar (ZNZ), or apply in advance via the Tanzania Immigration e-Visa portal. We recommend the e-Visa to skip airport queues.
Single-entry is usually USD $50 (cash USD preferred on arrival, or card online). Multiple-entry is USD $100 and is useful if your trip crosses into Kenya — for example Serengeti then Masai Mara — and you need to re-enter Tanzania.
Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure from Tanzania, with at least one blank page for the stamp. Immigration is strict on both. Renew early if you are close on either point.

Ninety days from entry, one entry, about USD $50. Fine for itineraries that stay inside Tanzania. Most Kisangara guests use this. Available on arrival or as an e-Visa.
About USD $100, valid for twelve months with multiple entries. Best when you leave Tanzania for Kenya (or elsewhere) and return in the same trip, or plan a second visit within the year.
About USD $100 for eligible nationalities, covering Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda with multiple entries for ninety days. Useful for gorilla trekking plus Kenya and Tanzania in one journey. Confirm current eligibility on the immigration site.
An approved e-Visa is usually quicker at the airport and gives you paperwork before departure. Apply at least two weeks ahead.
Go to the Tanzania Immigration e-Visa portal at immigration.go.tz and register with your email. Confirm the verification message — check spam if it is slow.
Enter details exactly as on your passport. Add your entry date and port — Kilimanjaro International for most safari arrivals. Upload a recent passport photo (white background) and a clear scan of your passport data page.
Pay the single-entry fee (usually USD $50) by Visa or Mastercard. Save the payment reference. Fees are typically non-refundable once submitted, even if the application is later refused.
Processing often takes three to five working days. When the approval email arrives, download and print the document. Present it with your passport at immigration.
We do not issue visas, but we can point you to the right type for Tanzania-only, Kenya combinations, or East Africa itineraries — and share the official portal link with your proposal.
