Offroad adventures in Tanzania: Discover the wilderness!

The Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam is the best airport for international arrivals. For safari trips, airports like Kilimanjaro or Mwanza can also make sense. Be sure to book flights in advance to secure the best rates and to be able to reach the safari destinations directly.

The local currency in Tanzania is the Tanzanian Shilling (TZS). While credit cards are accepted in larger cities, it is advisable to carry enough cash for rural areas. ATMs are available in cities, but not everywhere. It is recommended to also use small bills for purchases.

Before the trip, you should inform yourself about the required vaccinations, especially against yellow fever, hepatitis A, and typhoid. A travel insurance is strongly recommended to cover potential health issues or emergencies. Also, check the current recommendations from the health ministry regarding the coronavirus situation.

For driving in Tanzania, you need an international driving permit. Local SIM cards can be purchased in shops and at the airport, with providers like Vodacom or Airtel being widespread. Make sure to present a passport for the purchase and check the network coverage in rural areas.
