What Time Is It In Tanzania?
Tanzania operates on East Africa Time (EAT), which is three hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+3). The country does not observe daylight saving time.
This means when it is noon in Tanzania, it is 4 AM in New York during Eastern Standard Time, or 9 AM in London. If you are traveling from the United States West Coast, Tanzania is 11 hours ahead during Pacific Standard Time.
Tanzania shares its time zone with Kenya, Uganda, and Ethiopia, making regional travel straightforward. For those combining Tanzania with Zanzibar, no time adjustment is needed, as the island follows the same time zone as the mainland.
