Traveling to Tanzania? Land Connected.

Tanzania is safari country at its grandest — the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Kilimanjaro, plus the beaches of Zanzibar — and getting between them means long drives, small planes and ferries. Install your CGOO eSIM before you fly and you land connected at Dar es Salaam, Kilimanjaro or Zanzibar, ready for maps, bookings and mobile-money payments without hunting for a SIM shop.

Choose the Plan That Fits Your Trip

  • Fixed data or unlimited: pick from the plan grid above by trip length and data use — fixed-data plans for maps, messaging and light browsing, unlimited plans for heavy use and hotspotting.
  • Instant delivery: your QR code and installation link are emailed within minutes of checkout. Install before your flight; validity starts on the day you activate.
  • Good to know: your phone must support eSIM (dial *#06# and look for an EID), and your 15-digit IMEI is required at checkout so your eSIM can be provisioned.

Travel Highlights

  • The Serengeti: the Great Migration's river crossings and year-round big-cat viewing on endless grass plains.
  • Ngorongoro Crater: a collapsed volcano holding an extraordinary density of wildlife, including black rhinos, in one compact caldera.
  • Mount Kilimanjaro: Africa's highest peak, climbed on multi-day routes through rainforest, moorland and alpine desert.
  • Zanzibar: white-sand beaches, Stone Town's carved doors and spice farms, a short flight or ferry from Dar es Salaam.
  • Tarangire National Park: baobabs and huge elephant herds, at its best in the dry season.

Getting Around

  • Airport to the city: in Dar es Salaam, Bolt serves Julius Nyerere International Airport with app pickup points; agree fares before boarding any non-app taxi.
  • Ride-hailing: Bolt is the market leader, operating in Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Mwanza and Zanzibar, including boda-boda (motorcycle) and tuk-tuk classes; local apps Little and Farasi and inDrive also operate. Uber is not available — it ended Tanzanian operations in January 2026.
  • Between cities: daladalas (shared minibuses) and long-distance buses link the main towns; safaris and Kilimanjaro climbs go through licensed operators.
  • To Zanzibar: fast ferries run from Dar es Salaam to Stone Town, and short flights connect the mainland parks with the island.

Safety and Practical Tips

In cities, keep valuables out of sight and avoid walking alone after dark; use app-booked rides or hotel cars at night rather than flagging down street taxis.

On safari, follow your guide's instructions around wildlife and never approach animals on foot. Malaria is present in much of the country — take prophylaxis advice before you travel and use repellent and nets.

Entry and Visa

Entry rules depend on your passport. Most visitors need a visa, available as an eVisa online before travel or on arrival at major international airports including Dar es Salaam, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar. Carry a passport valid for at least six months, a return or onward ticket, and proof of accommodation.

Weather and Climate

  • Coast and Zanzibar: hot and humid year-round, roughly 28–31°C, with two rainy seasons — the long rains roughly March to May and the short rains roughly November to December.
  • Safari parks: the dry season roughly June to October is best for wildlife viewing; the wet season brings lush scenery and fewer visitors.
  • Kilimanjaro: temperatures fall sharply with altitude — summit nights are well below freezing even when the base is warm.
  • Highlands: Arusha and the Ngorongoro area are cooler than the coast, especially at night.

Money and Payments

  • Currency: the Tanzanian shilling (TZS). Cards are accepted in larger hotels and lodges; cash is essential for markets, daladalas and smaller towns.
  • Mobile money: M-Pesa and other mobile-money services are everywhere and are the usual way to pay small amounts.
  • Wise: a Wise card works wherever Visa or Mastercard is accepted; it does not offer a shilling balance claim here.
  • ATMs: use machines in banks or malls in the main towns; carry cash before heading to parks or islands.
