Should I bring cash to Tanzania?
Should I bring cash to Tanzania? We recommend travelers to bring enough cash on your safari. At airports or in big cities like Dar es Salaam, Arusha and Moshi there are plenty of ATM's, but in smaller villages ATM's are rare.

Currency Restrictions: Travelers are required to declare international currency valuing more than $10,000 on both entrance and exit from Tanzania. Non-residents (except Kenyans and Ugandans) may not import or export Tanzanian Shillings (TZS.)
How much money should I take to Zanzibar?
$500 will probably cover the food and beverage, and I would get along fine with half that for the rest of the stuff. If you want to make your money go further, take US currency or Euros and exchange them into the local currency, Tanzania Shillings.
Why is Tanzania so expensive?
It has a higher population of wildlife and more diversity in national parks. Park fees are one of the main factors for the overall higher price, but note that park fees contribute towards rangers, environmental conservation throughout the country and anti-poaching campaigns to protect endangered wildlife.
