Arusha Tourist Police & Visitor Assistance
Keep useful contact information available during your Tanzania journey. Our Tartaruga team can help you find the appropriate local assistance if you need to report a problem.
Tourism and Diplomatic Police Station
TATO documents the opening of Arusha’s Tourism and Diplomatic Police Station in 2018 to assist with matters involving tourists and international visitors. This is public travel information, not a claim that Tartaruga Safaris is affiliated with or endorsed by the police.
If you need help
Move to a safe place and contact local police or ask your hotel or guide to help you reach them. For immediate danger, use the official local emergency service; do not wait for an email response from us. We have not yet verified a current direct telephone number for the Arusha tourism desk, so no unverified number is printed here.
Reporting a loss or incident
Keep a factual account of what happened, relevant receipts and copies of booking correspondence. Ask the police how to obtain a report or reference if your insurer requires it. Do not send passport scans or bank details through a general website enquiry form.
Tartaruga travel support
Call or WhatsApp +255 667 767 553 for help with your travel arrangements. This is our company number, not a police emergency line. The photograph shown is historical, from TATO’s coverage of the station’s opening; it is not a current-location verification.
