Currency and Language

Currency

The unit of currency is the Tanzania Shilling (TShs) which is divided into 100 cents. Visitors can bring with them any amount of foreign currency but it is against the law to import or export Tanzania Currency. Foreign currency in cash or in travelers cheques may be exchanged at the commercial banks, authorized dealers, or at the bureau de changes operating at the international airports, major towns and border posts.

Language

The national language is Kiswahili but English is widely spoken and is the language of the tourist trade and other international businesses. Muzuri Tours, however, boasts quite a few multilingual operations staff and driver-guides
