CURRENCY: The unit of currency is the Tanzanian shilling, which is divided into hundred cents. Visitors can take any amount of foreign currency, no currency declaration is required, but import and export of Tanzania currency is illegal.
Most major currencies, particularly US Dollars, Euro and Travelers cheques are accepted and are convertible at banks and bureau de change in the main towns and tourist areas. Credit cards, mainly Visa and MasterCard, are generally only accepted in large establishments.
ON SAFARI: Distances in Tanzania are vast, and travel by road can be tiring. It is wise to spend more time in fewer parks. You will see more and won't return home exhausted. Keep your distance from animals and be quite to avoid distressing them. Always follow the instructions of your ranger or guide. Don't leave your vehicle in the parks except in designated places. Keep to recognized tracks to avoid damaging vegetation.
WHAT TO WEAR: It never gets really cold in Tanzania, so lightweight clothing is the norm. On safari avoid brightly colored clothes, they may alarm the animals. Browns, beiges and khakis are preferred. Short sleeve shirts/blouses and shorts are ideal, but pack a sweater, as it can be a bit chilly in the early morning and in the evening. Wear a hat to avoid sunburns and don't forget a swim suit. Shoes should be sensible, and for climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro or Mt. Meru, take a thermal underwear, a rain jacket, a pair or two of good socks and sturdy boots. Shorts for women are acceptable - but not too short. Women should carry a wrap to cover their legs in towns or villages as revealing clothes can cause offence, especially in Zanzibar and other Muslim areas. On the beach, within the confines of beach hotels, normal swim wear is acceptable, but nudity certainly is not
