Entry details
Holders of a Sierra Leone passport need an e-visa, applied for online when visiting Tanzania. The Sierra Leone passport currently ranks #145 of 199 worldwide, with 60 destinations reachable visa-free or via visa on arrival / eTA.
Tanzania is notably open to foreign passports, admitting 173 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #130 with 68 open destinations. Both sit in Africa, where regional agreements often shape entry rules. Access is actually lopsided the other way — Tanzania citizens enter Sierra Leone more easily (visa on arrival).
In the opposite direction, Tanzania citizens travelling to Sierra Leone face: visa on arrival.
