About the Tanzania visa

Tanzania is home to the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, Mount Kilimanjaro and the beaches of Zanzibar. Indian passport holders can apply for a Tanzanian e-Visa online.

The tourist e-Visa usually allows a stay of up to 90 days. Processing can take around 13 days, so apply early, especially for the Great Migration and Kilimanjaro season.
