Frequently Asked Questions about short term rentals in Tanzania

  • What attractions should you visit during a week-long stay in Tanzania?

    A week in Tanzania allows for a taste of the highlights. Many travelers focus on the Northern Circuit, visiting the Serengeti National Park for its incredible wildlife safaris, the Ngorongoro Crater for its unique ecosystem and abundant animals, and the Tarangire National Park known for its large elephant herds. Consider adding a visit to the cultural sites of Arusha or a climb up Mount Kilimanjaro if time allows, but be aware that climbing Kilimanjaro requires significantly more time than a week.
  • What are the best short term rentals in Tanzania?

    Among the short term rentals in Tanzania, Downtown Apartment Next To Zanzibar Ferry, Aura Suites and Attractive Stay Stonetown Zanzibar are the most popular ones.

  • What attractions should you visit when you spend a month in Tanzania?

    A month gives you the opportunity for a more in-depth experience. You could explore the Northern Circuit extensively, including less-visited parks like Lake Manyara National Park. Then, head south to explore the Selous Game Reserve, renowned for its vast wilderness and diverse wildlife, or the Ruaha National Park, a less-crowded alternative offering incredible game viewing. You could also add Zanzibar to your itinerary, experiencing its stunning beaches, Stone Town's historical sites, and spice plantations. Consider visiting the Mahale Mountains National Park for chimpanzee trekking, or the Katavi National Park for a truly remote wilderness adventure.
  • What are the best short term rentals with a pool in Tanzania?

    Downtown Apartment Next To Zanzibar Ferry, Aura Suites and Nyumbani Residence Suites are the best short term rentals with a pool in Tanzania.

  • What currency is used in Tanzania, and how easy is it to find ATMs?

    The Tanzanian shilling (TZS) is the local currency. ATMs are readily available in major towns and cities like Arusha, Moshi, Dodoma, and Zanzibar Town. However, availability can be more limited in remote areas, so it's advisable to carry some cash, especially when venturing into national parks or smaller villages.

  • Which areas in Tanzania are best for an extended stay?

    For an extended stay, areas offering a blend of activities and amenities are ideal. Arusha is a good base for exploring the Northern Circuit, with ample lodging and support services. Moshi, at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, is another popular choice. Zanzibar offers a different experience, suitable for those seeking relaxation, cultural immersion, and water activities. For a more remote and tranquil stay, consider the Southern Highlands region.
  • Is Tanzania safe for solo travelers, including women?

    Tanzania is generally safe for solo travelers, but like any country, precautions are necessary. Women should exercise extra caution, especially at night and in less populated areas. Sticking to well-lit and populated areas, being aware of surroundings, and avoiding walking alone at night are recommended. Registering with your embassy and keeping emergency contacts readily available is always a good idea.
  • Which region of Tanzania is most popular for its pleasant weather?

    The Southern Highlands region, including areas like Iringa and Mbeya, is known for its pleasant, cooler climate, especially compared to the coastal regions or the hot plains of the north. The temperatures are generally moderate throughout the year, making it a comfortable place to visit.
  • What do you do if you lose your passport or documents in Tanzania?

    Immediately report the loss to the nearest police station and contact your embassy or consulate. They will guide you through the process of obtaining replacement documents. Keep copies of your passport and other important documents separate from the originals to aid in this process.
  • What seasonal celebrations make Tanzania special?

    Tanzania has various festivals throughout the year. The Saba Saba Day, celebrated on July 7th, is a national holiday commemorating the Union Day. Many smaller, local festivals celebrate harvests and cultural traditions, varying by region and tribe. Checking local event listings closer to your travel dates will reveal specific celebrations.
