What should you bring for your trip to Tanzania?

• International passport: valid for the entire duration of your trip and at least 6 months after your return
• Driver’s license: an international driving permit or an official English translation
• Visa: “Visa On Arrival” via the official website
• Bank card / credit card

Tip: bring for example a Revolut/Wise card or a Visa/Mastercard and make sure to withdraw some local cash (TZS) for places where card payments are not possible. Don’t forget to activate the “travel” / “abroad” option in your banking apps.
