Practical tips for Tanzania
- Cash (Tanzanian Shillings) is king for local markets, street food, and tips; ensure any US Dollars you bring are crisp and printed after 2013, as older notes are widely rejected.
- Use apps like Uber or Bolt in Dar es Salaam for transparent pricing, and always agree on a fare before stepping into a local taxi or motorized bajaji elsewhere.
- Dress modestly by keeping shoulders and knees covered when visiting Stone Town and rural towns to respect local conservative norms, saving swimwear strictly for resort beaches.
