Currency

The Tanzanian shilling is the official currency of Tanzania but the US dollar is accepted everywhere. Other currencies such as euro, dinar, pound sterling, Swiss franc are not accepted for payments but they always can be exchanged for shillings at a reduced rate at any exchange office.
Most of the hotels, restaurants, souvenir shops and most of the large establishments accept USD but you can also pay by local shillings.
The easiest way to access money while travelling in Tanzania is at ATMs using a Visa card.
