We are a local assistance contact, not an emergency service. In a
life-threatening situation call the numbers below as well as us

Emergency numbers in Tanzania
Important: Tanzania has no national ambulance service, and
112 does not connect reliably outside Dar es Salaam. If someone is seriously
hurt, getting into a private vehicle to the nearest major hospital is usually
faster than waiting. Call us at the same time — we know which hospital
to go to and can call ahead.
Your embassy handles lost passports and emergency travel documents.
Search “[your country] embassy Tanzania” — or call us and
we’ll find it and drive you there.
