Plan your Trip - Travel Information
The unit of currency is the Tanzanian shilling (Tsh) and there are no smaller denominations. It’s best to carry as little cash as possible when travelling to avoid further inconvenience if anything should be lost or stolen.
That said, major currencies (like the US Dollar, the English Pound, and the Euro) are easily changed in large towns, although US Dollars are sometimes preferred.
Forex bureaux offer faster service than banks and although the exchange rates are only nominally different, the bureaux usually offer a better rate on travellers’ cheques. Standard Chartered banks around the country have ATM machines that allow you to withdraw cash from your VISA card and Barclay’s Bank ATMs allow you to withdraw on both VISA and MasterCard accounts. Credit cards are accepted only at major lodges, hotels, and travel agents.
Customer Testimonials
Shonali Laha and Sumitra Mukherjee told us:
A fantastic safari experience, there are no places like Serengeti and Ngorongoro in the world. The safari driver/guide was superb and interpreter of the East African wildlife.We are planning to be back again soon. Cheers! keep it up.
Cubbancy told us:
I used Bobby Tours last fall for a trip to Tanzania, and found them very accommodating and easy to work with. They are a mid-range company, but will work with you to arrange the type of trip and the accommodations you want. I stayed at all tented camps during two weeks in Northern Tanzania, with the exception of Ngorongoro, and did single supplements everywhere. I was very happy with all aspects of the trip, and while I would not call it cheap by any means, it certainly was not as expensive as most of the tours that are regularly discussed on this forum. They were recommended to me by Great Lakes Safaris, that I used the previous year for my Uganda,gorilla trek.
