Tanzania
TZ 5G on 1 of 1 carriersTanzania's Airtel 5G network is strong in Dar es Salaam and other cities, but safari parks and remote rural areas have limited coverage. An eSIM gives you data on arrival and in towns, but you should not expect it to work deep inside national parks.

Pick a row — it prices the box aboveArrival at Kilimanjaro or Dar es Salaam airport
You can activate the eSIM before you fly, so you have data while waiting for luggage or arranging transport. Airport wifi is available but can be unstable.
Safari connectivity
Most safari lodges offer wifi, but it is often slow and limited to common areas. The eSIM works only near populated areas, so download maps, guides and entertainment before entering a park.
Cash and mobile money
Mobile money is widely used by locals, but as a visitor you may not have a local mobile money account. Cash is needed for tips, small purchases and in places that do not accept cards.
Will my eSIM work on safari in Serengeti?
Signal is limited in the park. You may get some coverage near park headquarters or lodges, but do not rely on it for navigation or emergency communication.
Does the Tanzania eSIM include Zanzibar?
Yes, Airtel covers Zanzibar. Stone Town and the main resorts have usable signal, but some remote beaches have weak or no coverage.
Is 5G available with this eSIM?
Airtel has 5G in parts of Dar es Salaam and a few other cities. In most of the country, the plan uses 4G.
Do I need to register with my passport to use the eSIM?
No, the eSIM is data-only and does not require local registration. You install it with a QR code before you travel.
Can I use this eSIM for mobile payments like M-Pesa?
No, the eSIM is data-only and does not come with a mobile money account. You cannot send or receive M-Pesa payments with it.
Will I have signal climbing Kilimanjaro?
Coverage on the mountain is limited. You may get signal at lower camps, but above certain altitudes it is unreliable. Do not depend on it for emergencies.
