Local laws and customs

Tanzanians are welcoming and well disposed towards visitors; but be sensitive to local culture. Respect local traditions, customs, laws and religions at all times and be aware of your actions to ensure that they do not offend other cultures or religious beliefs. Loud or aggressive behaviour, drunkenness, foul language and disrespect, especially towards older people, will most often cause offence. Wherever you are in Tanzania, dress modestly. Women should avoid wearing shorts and sleeveless tops away from tourist resorts.
