Countries that border Tanzania
8 land neighbours: Burundi, DR Congo, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Uganda and Zambia. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
8 neighbours, and 10 pairs of them border each other too.
Its 8 land borders are 2nd-most in Africa. Of the 28 possible pairings among them, 10 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. DR Congo is the most connected of them, with 9 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Africa board alongside Tanzania, and on the world board with everyone else in Africa.
