The Tanzanian currency is the shilling, although in national parks, excursions, safaris and hotels are usually paid in dollars. It is advisable to travel with enough cash, changing in offices or hotels, as there is no good ATM coverage. Only large hotels accept cards and include commissions.
At the international airports of Dar Es Salaam and Kilimanjaro you can apply for a VAT refund on items purchased in mainland Tanzania, excluding Zanzibar. Items are thoroughly searched. Avoid those made from skins or other animal parts.

In terms of health, the first thing the Ministry stresses is that “it is advisable to take out travel insurance to Tanzania with the highest possible coverage”. This is so, in addition to the coronavirus crisis (which we will talk about later), because of other diseases that are common in the country. For example, malaria is endemic and there are also cases of cholera, diphtheria and dengue fever. On the other hand, he indicates that “Quality medical services are scarce. For any serious problem, it is advisable to leave the country. Traveling with good insurance in Tanzania is, of course, essential.
In the big cities it is true that you have to be careful, especially at night and in isolated areas. However, you can walk through the center of places like Arusha and Dar es Salaam without feeling insecure. As in any place, try not to be ostentatious and be aware of your valuables. There are people who will approach you to sell you souvenirs, tours or guide you, perhaps in some cases too insistently. However, with a little right-handedness, nothing is bound to go wrong.
TRAVEL GUIDE I: WHAT TO KNOW WHEN GOING TO TANZANIA AND THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO)
Before showing you some official figures from the World Health Organization (WHO) on the subject, it is important that we start from the premise that, although the risk of infection has been considered low in the countries affected by the outbreak of the virus, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get infected in countries where there is no Ebola.
Thus, those travelers who choose to visit these areas and come to us for travel to Africa, can enjoy their safaris in all the tourist areas of these countries following their normal itineraries without any alteration.
In addition, in both Kenya and Tanzania, health personnel and border posts are on alert, very vigilant, which would favor a prompt detection, notification and appropriate management of a suspected case of entry of a person suspected of being infected in the country.
Both large cities and remote rural villages in these countries are being affected in West Africa, and further cases of people contracting the virus in these countries are expected to continue.
