This advice has been reviewed and reissued with amendments to the Travel Summary and the Safety and Security Crime section (increase in incidents of muggings, bag grabs and express kidnaps resulting in forced ATM withdrawal). There has been an increase in the number of incidents involving express kidnap, muggings and bag grabs, both on the mainland and Zanzibar. We advise both resident and visiting British nationals to remain vigilant at all times. Long distance buses are frequently involved in accidents which can often result in fatalities. If you have concerns over the safety of the vehicle or the ability of the driver, use alternative methods of transport.
