Although Tanzania’s official currency is Tanzanian Shilling, which is accepted throughout the country, US Dollars are also widely accepted in a majority of tourist areas.

Tanzania is one of the safest destinations in East Africa. The locals are generous, friendly and eager to help visitors. However, you need to take the necessary precautions, including storing your valuables in the hotel safe and carrying only what’s necessary (camera equipment, cards, cash, jewellery, or any other valuables). On a safari, your safety will be in the hands of your guide. Make sure that you follow everything your guide says and do not wander around in the wild.

For wildlife safaris the best time to travel to Tanzania is from July to October. This is the dry season when viewing opportunities are better due to vegetation dwindling making the bush less dense while animals congregate around water holes to drink. Keep in mind that this is the peak season and Tanzania attracts a lot of visitors from all over the world so it can be busy plus it’s a more expensive time of year. On the other hand, the shoulder season, November to March is a great time to travel too. Although the bush is thicker so it’s harder to see wildlife, this time of year has less visitors and can be more affordable.

First and foremost, it is to be clear that food and water-borne illnesses can happen in any country that you travel. All you need to do is maintain a good level of personal sanitation while traveling and take some precautionary measures while consuming your food and drinking water.

For the most part, Tanzania’s food is safe to eat. However, it is advisable not to eat cold or pre-prepared foods and reheated food, for example in street stalls or hotel buffets. Likewise, drinking tap water is very unsafe in Tanzania. To avoid any kind of health hazards, we recommend drinking bottled, treated or filtered water. Using bottled water for brushing your teeth is also a beneficial option to stay away from any bacterial infection. We do not recommend eating raw fruits or vegetables that have not been peeled. Even if you eat some fruits, make sure to wash them properly with filtered or bottled water. The ice content in your drinks is not safe as well – you don’t know the source of the water used to make ice, so better stay off from it! It is best to avoid salads and eat your dairy products that are pasteurized.
