The two women, named locally as Katie Gee and Kirstie Trup, reported to both be aged 18, had to be treated in hospital after the incident last night.
The teenagers are from London and were in the last week of a trip organised by Kent-based i-to-i Travel when men on a moped threw a corrosive substance at their heads and chests.
The attack took place in Stone Town, an area of the Tanzanian archipelago's capital city, the travel company said.
