currencies
The official currency of Tanzania is the Tanzanian shilling (TSh). Travellers are recommended to check www.xe.com for the current exchange rate prior to departure should they choose to exchange another currency for TSh on arrival.
U.S. Dollars are accepted nearly everywhere. It is best to use clean USD bills printed in 2013 or later. We suggest bringing USD 500 for personal spending money including additional restaurant meals, drinks, spending cash, and the Tip Pool.
We recommend that you have some small denominations of USD with you for your arrival at the airport, shopping at local markets, paying for drinks, visiting a Maasai Village, etc. You should change to TSh only as much money as you think you may spend (i.e., carry cash of small denominations) as local currencies cannot be removed from the country or reconverted.
Cash machines, by far the best way to get cash in country, are readily available in Arusha and on safari, but only dispense Tanzanian Shillings.
Everyone has a preferred way to carry money. Some use money belts, others have hidden pockets. Whatever you do, you are advised to be aware of pickpockets in any area which caters to tourists.
​
Should you wish to take in some impromptu local sightseeing / shopping, you request a guide from us so that you get where you want to go, and back, and so that you can be spared the ordeal of having to fend off potentially unwanted attention from people keen for you to share your monies with them.
