While the Tanzanian Shilling (TZS) is the official currency, US dollars and euros are widely accepted in many places, especially in tourist locations and destinations. However, it’s advisable to carry some Tanzanian Shillings for local purchases and in more remote areas where foreign currencies may not be accepted. ATMs are available in major cities like Arusha, but having local currency on hand is always a good idea.

Tanzania is home to some of the most diverse wildlife in the world. You can expect to see the “Big Five”: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros – especially in places like Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. However, certain animals are more seasonally dependent. For example, the Great Migration in the Serengeti can be seen in certain months. Our guides know where to find the best sightings for each season.
