Frequently asked questions

When is a stay in Tanzania cheapest?

Prices are usually lowest during the rainy seasons, from March to May and in November. The Zanzibar beaches at the peak of the dry season, June to August, tend to be the most expensive. Booking ahead usually helps you find a better rate.

Which city do travellers stay in most often?

The most popular destination is Zanzibar, followed by Dar es Salaam and Arusha. Zanzibar has the widest choice of resorts, Arusha is the safari base, and Dar es Salaam is a handy stop near the airport.

Where are hotels most and least expensive in Tanzania?

The highest rates are in the Zanzibar beach resorts, especially Nungwi and Kendwa at peak season. Inland stays in Arusha and simpler guesthouses are cheaper.

Do I need a visa to travel to Tanzania?

Most travellers need an ETA visa, best arranged online before departure. Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry. The exact rules depend on your citizenship.

Can I pay by card in Tanzania, or do I need cash?

Cards are mainly accepted at larger hotels and resorts. For day-to-day spending you will want cash in Tanzanian shillings, and ATMs in the cities accept Cirrus and PLUS cards. Markets and small venues are cash only.
