How we check our facts
See You Tanzania is edited by Kabeer Dalvi. These are the rules every page follows.
01
Every fact has a named source
Each page lists what it was checked against at its foot. A figure we cannot confirm is either marked as unconfirmed or cut.
02
Official sources first
Park facts and fees come from TANAPA, government facts from the Government of Tanzania and Parliament, money from the Bank of Tanzania. Encyclopaedias and Wikipedia help us find things; where a page relies on them, the source list says so.
03
Disagreement is shown, not hidden
Where reliable sources disagree, such as on a date or a death toll in history, we give the range and say who says what, rather than picking one.
04
Current politics: facts only
Pages about government and recent politics record offices, dates, laws and official results. They do not take sides.
05
Things that change are dated
Fees, ferry services, the cabinet and other facts that change carry an “as of” date or a review date, and are re-checked regularly.
06
How we use AI
We use AI tools to help research and draft pages. Every fact is then checked against the sources listed on the page before it is published, and the editor is responsible for what appears.
Corrections
Factual errors we have found and fixed, newest first.
| Date | Page | What was wrong |
|---|---|---|
| 13 October 2026 | The multi-party era | Placed the treaty reviving the East African Community under President Kikwete (2005–2015). It was signed on 30 November 1999 and came into force on 7 July 2000, under President Mkapa. The sentence was moved and dated. |
| 13 October 2026 | Dar es Salaam | Said the move of the capital to Dodoma was declared complete in 1996. In fact the National Assembly moved in February 1996, and the ministries only after 2016. The sentence was corrected. |
| 3 October 2026 | Who runs Tanzania | Still listed William Lukuvi as a minister after his death on 25 March 2026. Every office-holder was re-checked against the official cabinet list and the page corrected. |
