Why an eSIM is Essential for Tanzania

International Roaming Doesn't Work

Tanzania has no free roaming agreements with most countries. Using your home carrier in Tanzania costs between $5 and $15 per MB - a bill that can reach hundreds of dollars for just a few days.

Benefits of a Tanzania eSIM

Massive savings: 10 GB for $8-15 vs $100+ in roaming
Good coverage: access to Vodacom, Airtel, and Tigo networks
Instant activation: connected as soon as you land
No airport queues: skip SIM kiosks at Julius Nyerere International Airport

Network Coverage in Tanzania

Tanzania has good 4G coverage in urban areas:

Carrier	Coverage	5G	Used by
Vodacom	85% urban	Limited	Airalo, Holafly
Airtel	80% urban	No	GoMoWorld
Tigo	75% urban	No	Saily

Coverage by Destination

Dar es Salaam, Arusha: good 4G coverage
Zanzibar (Stone Town): good coverage
Serengeti, Ngorongoro: variable coverage, plan for offline
Rural areas: limited coverage, plan for offline

How to Install Your Tanzania eSIM

Purchase your plan (QR code received by email in 2 min)
Install 24-48h before departure from your WiFi

Compatibility: iPhone XS+, Samsung S20+, Pixel 3+, Xiaomi 12+, OnePlus 8+
