Money and Language in Tanzania

If you go to Tanzania for a vacation, you may expect to spend money to live a high life. Tanzania's national currency is the Tanzanian Shilling, which may be withdrawn from any of the ATMs that are widely accessible. You may also exchange your local money for US dollars at the airport. US currencies are commonly accepted across the country.

Keep shillings or dollars on hand while visiting markets or small shops for best practices, but bring your debit or credit card to larger retailers that accept card payments. To communicate with the locals, you may need to hire a translator because only a tiny proportion of the population speaks English and more than 120 languages are spoken across the nation. Of course, hotel and tour operator employees know English, so you won't have any problems while checking in or embarking on a tour/safari. When you come to this country, this is one of the things about Tanzania you should know.
