Money and Payments in Tanzania
The currency of Tanzania is the Tanzanian shilling. We recommend changing the currency immediately after arrival - at currency exchange points at the airport.
You can buy Tanzanian shillings by exchanging both euros and US dollars.
Attention! It should be noted that only US dollars issued after 2009 are accepted in Tanzania. Old dollars are not accepted for payments and currency exchange.

Card payments often have an additional fee. Euro and dollars are also sometimes accepted in tourist places for payment.
ATMs are available in the cities for withdrawing cash - shillings.
