Countries that border Tanzania
8 land neighbours: Burundi, the 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.
1 country in Africa has more than its 8 land borders. Of the 28 possible pairings among them, 10 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. The DR Congo is the most connected of them, with 9 land borders of its own. All of them are on the Africa map with Tanzania, and on the world map with everyone else.
