What to know about mobile data in Tanzania
Tanzania has a recent record of internet restrictions. Access to X was blocked on several networks from May 2025, and around the general election of 29 October 2025 the country went through a nationwide shutdown that lasted about five days. The regulator TCRA also issued a notice in October 2023 telling VPN users to declare them. Zanzibar is part of Tanzania. In the Serengeti and other parks, signal comes and goes with the terrain.
Before you go
- Travelling around an election or a period of unrest? Download maps, tickets and lodge contacts in advance, and agree a check-in plan with family.
- Ask your camp in the Serengeti or Ngorongoro which network reaches it. Coverage inside the parks differs by operator and by location.
- Combining Tanzania with Kenya? They are separate countries with separate networks. Both must be named in the plan.

Can I use a VPN in Tanzania?
The rules are restrictive. A TCRA public notice of 13 October 2023 required people and companies who need a VPN to declare it with their IP address, and warned of action against unauthorised use. The notice does not address visitors on roaming lines, so read the current position before relying on one.
Is X blocked in Tanzania?
It was on many connections when last documented. The measurement project OONI recorded blocking from 20 May 2025, still ongoing that August and not present on every network. A roaming eSIM may be routed differently from a local line, but do not plan around that.
