Mandatory travel insurance for tourists visiting Zanzibar

The Tanzanian government is introducing mandatory insurance for travelers to Zanzibar.

Starting 1 September 2024, all island visitors will be required to underwrite a travel insurance policy for 44 USD per person with the Zanzibar Insurance Corporation upon arrival.

The policy covers visitors against several types of risk (health, loss of luggage, accident, loss of passport, repatriation of remains in the event of death, etc.).

Mandatory insurance is valid for stays of up to 92 days.
