What kind of currency should I carry?
The currency in Tanzania is the Tanzanian Shilling (TSh). On the basis of previous experience, U.S. dollar bank notes are very convenient in Tanzania. US$ 150.00 proved to be enough for one week on previous trips. Tips can be paid in USD.
1000 TSh equals approx.: €0,60 or $0.78 (as of 9 February 2008)
