Tanzania eSIM Plans

Don't Let Poor Wi-Fi Ruin Your Tanzanian Adventure

Imagine landing at Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR), ready to explore the vibrant streets of Dar es Salaam, or arriving at Kilimanjaro (JRO) with dreams of seeing the "Big Five" in the Serengeti. The first thing you want to do is order a ride, check your hotel booking, or tell your family you've arrived safely. But you're met with unreliable airport Wi-Fi and long queues for local SIM cards, often requiring passport registration and cash in Tanzanian Shillings. An eSIM for Tanzania eliminates this stress entirely. It allows you to activate a data plan on your phone the moment you land, so you can focus on the incredible experiences ahead—from the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater to the pristine beaches of Zanzibar.

A reliable internet connection is no longer a luxury; it's essential for modern travel. You need it for navigating with Google Maps in Stone Town's winding alleys, booking a last-minute safari tour from Arusha, or instantly sharing a photo of a lion pride with friends back home. Relying on sporadic hotel or café Wi-Fi can be frustrating, especially when you're outside major cities. Our eSIM provides a seamless, high-speed data connection, ensuring you're always just a tap away from the information and contacts you need.

Why an eSIM is the Smart Choice for Tanzania

1. Instant Connectivity, No Queues: Forget wasting precious holiday time at a mobile phone shop. You can purchase and set up your eSIM before you even leave home. This means you have data access from the moment your plane touches down, avoiding the hassle of finding a vendor, dealing with language barriers, and going through local registration processes.
2. Speed: We partner with Vodacom, one of Tanzania's leading mobile operators, to provide you with fast and reliable 4G speeds. Whether you're uploading safari videos, video-calling family from your Zanzibar resort, or checking emails in the city, you can count on a strong and stable connection across the country's most popular destinations.
3. Convenience: An eSIM works alongside your primary SIM card. This means you can keep your regular phone number active for calls and texts (including important verification messages from your bank) and use your WhatsApp account seamlessly with all your existing contacts. There's no need to inform everyone of a new temporary number.

Get Online in Three Simple Steps

Getting connected is incredibly easy and takes just a couple of minutes:

1. Choose: Select the data package that best suits your travel needs from our range of nine different options. Whether you need a small amount of data for a short trip or a larger package for a long safari, we have a plan for you.
2. Scan: After your purchase, we will instantly email you a QR Code. Simply open your phone's camera, scan the code, and follow the on-screen prompts to install the eSIM profile.
3. Connect: Once you arrive in Tanzania, just go to your phone's settings and turn on "Data Roaming" for your new eSIM. Your phone will automatically connect to the local network, and you'll be online immediately.

Is a Tanzanian eSIM Right for Your Trip?

Our eSIM solution is designed for all types of travelers visiting this magnificent East African nation. Consider if you fit one of these profiles: The Safari Enthusiast: You're heading to the Northern Circuit to witness the Great Migration in the Serengeti or descend into the Ngorongoro Crater. While coverage in the most remote bush areas can be limited, our eSIM gives you the best chance to connect at lodges and certain viewpoints to share those once-in-a-lifetime wildlife photos. The Zanzibar Beach Lover: You're planning to relax on the white sands of Nungwi or explore the history of Stone Town. A reliable data connection is perfect for finding the best seafood restaurants, booking a spice farm tour, or navigating the island's roads. The Kilimanjaro Climber: While you won't have a signal at the summit, an eSIM is invaluable for your time in Arusha or Moshi before and after the trek. It's also useful for sending updates from lower-altitude camps where a signal is available. The Business Traveler: If you're visiting Dar es Salaam for work, a secure and reliable internet connection is non-negotiable for staying in touch with colleagues, accessing emails, and using ride-hailing apps to get to meetings.
