Choose a plan and pay on the product page (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or crypto). 2. The eSIM QR code arrives by email; install it before you travel (Settings > Mobile/Cellular > Add eSIM). 3. On arrival, select the eSIM for mobile data and turn on data roaming for it. Your own SIM stays in the phone for calls and SMS. Data-only: the eSIM has no phone number. Requires an eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone. ## A Tanzania eSIM for travellers from the UK One plan covers mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar, so the same eSIM works from Kilimanjaro and the Serengeti to the beaches of Nungwi and Paje. Install it at home and switch it on when you land. It is data only, so your UK number stays on your phone for bank texts. Tanzania is costly on a UK plan: EE and Vodafone charge £8 a day, and O2's cheapest bolt-on is 100MB for £26 - barely enough for a day of maps. ## Visa and the insurance you must buy locally British passport holders need a visa: apply for the e-visa before you go, or buy a single-entry visa on arrival at the main airports. The ordinary visa costs 50 US dollars and lasts up to 90 days. Your passport needs six months' validity and a blank page, and you must be able to show a return or onward ticket. Every visitor must also have Tanzania's inbound travel insurance, bought from the state insurer of the place you arrive: the National Insurance Corporation if you land on the mainland, or the Zanzibar Insurance Corporation through Visit Zanzibar if you land on Zanzibar. It covers up to 92 days, your UK policy does not replace it, and you can be refused entry without it (gov.uk, updated 6 October 2026). ## Flights, plugs and money There is no non-stop flight from the UK, and Tanzanian airlines are not allowed to fly to the UK, so you connect on the way. Tanzania is three hours ahead of the UK in winter and two in British Summer Time. Sockets are the UK three-pin type G, so your chargers work as they are. Cash machines in the cities take foreign debit cards but can break down or run dry, and Scottish or Northern Irish pound notes get a worse exchange rate. On Zanzibar, dress modestly away from the beach: the authorities can fine visitors 700 US dollars or more for clothing they consider inappropriate. ## FAQ ### Do I need special travel insurance for Tanzania? Yes. All visitors to mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar must buy the state inbound travel insurance for up to 92 days, from the insurer of their first port of entry. You may be refused entry without it (gov.uk, updated 6 October 2026). ### How much is a Tanzania visa? 50 US dollars for the ordinary visa, valid for up to 90 days, according to Tanzania's Immigration Department (checked 9 October 2026). Apply online before you go or buy a single-entry visa on arrival. --- Source: https://www.esimpass.co.uk/esim/esim-tanzania - eSIMpass, Elemento Logico Lda, Portugal - help@esimpass.com
