Choose a Tanzania-listed prepaid plan with enough data for Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar or safari lodge transfers. Install the QR on Wi-Fi before DAR arrival.
For maps, messaging and light social use, 5–10 GB works for many one-week Tanzania trips. Add more if you hotspot or upload safari photos daily.
Most Tanzania country plans work well in cities and on major highways to popular parks. Remote bush camps can still have weaker signal—download offline maps before you leave.
For Tanzania only, choose a Tanzania eSIM. If your trip also includes neighbouring countries, compare the regional country list before buying.
