What is the best way to handle finances in Tanzania?
The currency in Tanzania is the Tanzania Shilling, however the US Dollar is widely accepted. We recommend traveling with credit cards/ debit cards that can be used at safari lodges and to withdraw cash at airport ATM’S. Not all banks charge foreign transaction fees but please check with your credit card issuer. Please also advise your bank prior to departure that you will be using your credit cards in Tanzania. It is advised to bring a fair amount of US dollars, provided the lodges you are visiting have safes in the rooms. This can be used for gratuities and other purchases.
