There is no limit to the amount of money you may bring into Tanzania. However, if you bring USD 10,000 or more (or an equivalent amount in another currency), you must declare this to Tanzanian customs upon arrival.
For most travelers, it is not necessary to carry large amounts of cash. In tourist areas, you can often pay by credit card, although extra charges may apply. Additionally, ATMs are available in larger cities such as Arusha, Moshi, and Zanzibar.
Don't forget to set your bank card to worldwide us!!
Can I pay in euros?
Therefore, it is better to pay in dollars.
Which currency is used in Tanzania?
The official currency is the Tanzanian shilling (TZS). US dollars (USD) are also accepted for some tourist activities and accommodations.
Can I withdraw cash everywhere?
ATMs are available in cities such as Arusha, Moshi, and Zanzibar. There are usually no ATMs in national parks and remote areas.
Do I need a lot of cash on a safari?
No. On an organized safari, most costs are paid in advance. You usually only need cash for tips, souvenirs, drinks, and any personal expenses.
Be careful with US dollars
Preferably bring USD banknotes from 2009 or newer. Older banknotes are sometimes not accepted in Tanzania, or only at a less favorable exchange rate.
