Tanzania is probably in the bucket list of millions of travelers. But, just like with any other travel destinations in the world, there are some threats and forewarnings to be alert of before you go. Although Tanzania is mostly safe to visit, precautions should be taken in places such as Arusha, Stone Town (Zanzibar) and Dar es Salaam. Crimes like street muggings, petty thefts and bag-snatching are very common in the touristic places in Tanzania. Walking and traveling alone at night could pose severe threat, especially to isolated places and secluded beach areas. Displaying of a huge amount of money or valuable jewelry items is dangerous too.
