Do Sweden citizens need a visa for Tanzania? For tourism travel, the current rule is e-visa, with a permitted stay of up to 90 days per visit. This tourism rule was last checked against an official government source — Official Tanzania e-Visa (Immigration Services Department), on 2026-08-29. It applies to Sweden passport holders, but the exact conditions granted on the day can still differ, so keep the requirements below — and the official source in the sidebar — handy when you plan your trip.
An e-visa means you apply online before you travel and receive approval electronically, without an embassy visit. Approval is usually subject to the authorities’ checks, so apply with enough time before departure and keep the approved e-visa with your documents.

The Kilimanjaro and the Rooftop of the African Continent
The Kilimanjaro, the vast, snow-capped volcanic mass that rises from the plains of the north of the country, is the highest mountain of Africa and one of the great objectives of the world's trekkers, its snowy summit a goal that draws thousands every year. The climb of the mountain, along the classic routes that circle the peak through the rainforest, the moorland and the arctic summit cone, is one of the great shared experiences of the walking world, and the views from the crater rim over the plain and the clouds give the climber the highest point of an entire continent. The lodges of the mountain towns and the national park of the slopes hold the climbers and the visitors, and the fitness and the acclimatisation are the keys to the summit. The mountain is the symbol of the country and the centrepiece of its northern land.
The Serengeti and the Great Migration of the Plains
The Serengeti, the enormous national park of the north, is the greatest wildlife arena of the earth, a rolling, acacia-studded plain the size of a small country that carries the greatest concentrations of the large mammals of the planet. The great migration, the annual cycle of the wildebeest, the zebra and the gazelle that follows the rains across the whole ecosystem, is the spectacle that fills the plains and the rivers of the park, and the river crossings of the Grumeti and the Mara are the famous highlight of the year. The predators of the plain, the lions, the cheetahs and the leopards, follow the herds, and the hot-air balloons of the dawn float the visitors over the whole theatre. The Serengeti is the safari of a lifetime, and it lives up to every image of the Africa of the imagination.
The Ngorongoro and the Densest Game of the World
The crater of the Ngorongoro, the enormous collapsed caldera of an ancient volcano on the highlands of the north, forms a natural, self-contained enclosure of the wildlife, and on its floor live the highest densities of the big game found anywhere on earth. The great concentration of the animals inside the crater, from the elephants and the rhinos to the lions, the hyenas and the thousands of the plains game, makes the descent onto the floor a wildlife ride like no other, and the views from the rim, with the whole green bowl of the crater and the soda lake in its centre, are among the most iconic of the continent. The Maasai of the surrounding highlands, the herders who live alongside the crater, keep the traditions of the region and welcome the visitors to their homesteads. It is the most reliable wildlife experience of the whole country.
The Southern Parks and the Rivers of the Wild
The south of the country, the great national parks of the Ruaha and the reserves of the great rivers, hold the wilder, quieter and more exclusive safaris of Tanzania, the vast bush of the watercourses where the game gathers in numbers that rival the famous north. The Ruaha, the largest of the parks of the country, spreads its dry savannah and its riverine forests along the great river of its name, and its elephants, its lions, its wild dogs and its enormous bird life fill the remote, uncrowded terrain. The great reserve of the southern river holds the greatest concentration of the crocodiles and the hippos of the continent, and its boat safaris of the channels reach the game of the banks in a way the plains parks cannot. The south is the safari for those who want the wilderness without the crowds.
