Tanzanian Shillings

in Tanzania: Serengeti to Zanzibar

Should I get shillings ahead of time to take on this tour or wait until I get there? Do I really need them? i thought perhaps to shop in the markets, small shops it might be better to have shillings. Opinions and advice, please.

    No , you don’t need shillings! They accept small denomination dollars in good condition. I’ve been three times and never needed them. I think everyome prefers dollars even the Masai villagers.

    You don’t need them.

    I had some left over Tanzania shillings in Nairobi. I could not even exchange them for Kenya shillings. They were worthless outside Tanzania.

    I have a 50 billion Zambian Kawacha and could not exchange it. It was less then 10cents. :)
