Tanzania eSIM.
Serengeti game drives to Zanzibar's Stone Town — connected across the whole safari.
Every plan: QR by email in minutes · data-only, keep your number · days start on first connection · top up anytime · the total shown is the whole bill. What's included →
Unlimited plans run at full speed up to a daily fair-use allowance, then at reduced speed until the allowance resets the next day — you're never cut off. Every plan is prepaid: the checkout total is the whole bill, and we never add overage charges.
Hotspot support varies by plan and destination — where it's available for your plan in Tanzania, it's shown in the plan details before you pay.
The Tanzania eSIM guide.
Tanzania splits neatly between the northern safari circuit and the Zanzibar coast, and an eSIM keeps you connected across both. Signal is strongest in Arusha, Dar es Salaam and along the beaches; it thins out deep inside the parks. Data handles lodge bookings, Swahili translations, uploading Serengeti photos and video calls home.
How it works on the day
Install and activate over Wi-Fi before you fly, then land on Vodacom or Airtel — the widest networks — at Julius Nyerere (Dar es Salaam), Kilimanjaro (JRO) or Abeid Amani Karume (Zanzibar) airports. Your UK number stays put for texts.
Choosing your days
Most safaris run five to ten days, often paired with a few Zanzibar beach nights — a 10 or 15-day data plan usually fits. For longer overland trips, a 30-day bundle works out cheaper per day than repeatedly topping up.
Discover Tanzania.
The short version.
A travel eSIM is data only. It sits next to your home SIM, so your number, texts and WhatsApp carry on as normal. Pick unlimited, priced per day, or a fixed bundle of GB if it's mostly maps and messages. Install it on Wi-Fi before you fly — the days only start once it first connects in Tanzania, and it finds a partner network on its own.
