Good to know before you go
The currency is the Tanzanian shilling and Swahili is the language, with English widely used. There is no public transit for visitors here, so getting around means arranged transfers, taxis, or your safari operator's vehicle; US dollars are accepted for tours, so book safaris and treks through licensed operators, and check vaccination and visa requirements before you go.
