🧭 Trip Planning Essentials
Practical things to know before you go
Visa & entry
Most visitors need a Tanzania visa, obtainable online (e-visa) or on arrival at major entry points. Check current requirements for your nationality before travel.
Money
Tanzanian Shilling (TZS) is used everywhere; USD is accepted at some hotels and parks. Mobile money (M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money) is widely used, even in small towns.
Best time to visit
June to October is dry and cooler across the south — good for both coastal beaches and highland parks. March to May brings heavy rain, which can affect rural roads.
Health & safety
- Malaria prophylaxis is recommended
- Drink bottled or treated water
- Tanzania emergency number: 112
Packing tips
- Light layers for coast, warmer layers for the highlands
- Reef-safe sunscreen for marine parks
- Cash in small notes for rural areas
Language
Swahili is the everyday language across all ten regions; English is common in tourism businesses. A few Swahili greetings go a long way.
