The United Republic of Tanzania is a nation in East Africa. Its official languages are Swahili and English and the predominant religions are Christianity and Islam.

The region has been inhabited since prehistory. In the late 19th century it was colonised by Germany and incorporated into German East Africa however after the First World War it came under British control. Britain divided the area into the colonies of Tanganyika and the Zanzibar Archipelago. Tanganyika became independent in 1961 and Zanzibar achieved independence in 1963 with the two merging to form Tanzania in 1964.

The Bahá’í community of Tanzania was established in 1950 with the country receiving the first Bahá’í pioneers to Africa to be coordinated by Shoghi Effendi. The community experienced rapid growth in the 1960's and 1970's and has since focused on developing its capacity for consolidation and participation in social and economic development activities, remaining active to the present day.
