What kind of currency should I bring?
The Tanzania currency is Tanzanian shillings (TZS). There are plenty of bureau de change
in towns and cities like Moshi, Arusha and Dar es Salaam where you can
exchange foreign currency like US dollars, Sterling pounds and Euros to
Tanzanian shillings. You can also withdraw local currency from local
bank ATMs around town.
When you bring US dollars, make sure the bills are issued after 2006 as most places will not accept bills before issued before 2006 or will give bad rates for exchange.
Most of the places will accept US dollars or Tanzanian shillings with equivalent to US dollars but in most cases will not give you good exchange rates so is better to pay with local currency.
Some places will accept credit or debit cards mostly Visa or Mastercard but this will incur a 5% to 7% surcharge.
