Zanzibar (Stone Town, Nungwi, Paje, Kendwa) well covered. 5G in Dar es Salaam since 2023. Type D/G British plugs, 230V/50Hz.

Frequently asked questions about Tanzania eSIM

Is there coverage climbing Kilimanjaro?
Surprisingly yes for much of it. Machame, Marangu and Lemosho routes have intermittent 4G to high camps (Barranco 3,900m, Karanga 4,000m, Barafu 4,600m). Uhuru Peak summit (5,895m) may have weak/no signal. Vodacom typically has better mountain coverage. Useful for reporting climb progress to family.
Does the eSIM work in Serengeti and Ngorongoro?
Yes at lodges and main tourist zones (Seronera central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater Rim). Game drives in remote north Serengeti (Mara River) or south (Maswa) may have intermittent signal. Ngorongoro has especially good coverage given the closed crater geography.
Does a regional East Africa eSIM cover Tanzania + Kenya + Uganda?
Yes, most 'East Africa' or 'EAC' eSIMs cover Tanzania + Kenya + Uganda + Rwanda + Burundi. Useful for circuits like Nairobi → Serengeti → Maasai Mara → Kigali gorillas. Check whether Zanzibar is specifically included (some cover TZ mainland without islands).
