Tanzania Daily eSIM — Never Run Out of Data
Daily-renewing data plan for your Tanzania trip: choose 500MB–3GB high-speed data per day and the exact number of days you need (1–30 days). Once your daily high-speed allowance is exhausted, speeds are reduced — maps and messaging still work, unlike fixed-data plans where connectivity drops entirely.

- Lowest cost per GB: 2GB/day, about $4.50 per GB of high-speed data.
- Speed after the daily cap depends on the plan: 1 Mbps on 3GB, but only 512 Kbps on 500MB, 1GB, 2GB. A bigger plan doesn’t mean faster speeds once the cap is reached.

Using mobile data in Tanzania: local tips
- Park fees are paid electronically. National park fees go through the government’s electronic payment gateway — Visa or Mastercard at the gate, or local mobile money.
- Carry a power bank. Canada’s travel advice notes that power outages occur regularly across Tanzania — keep a charged power bank for maps and bookings.
- Save key numbers offline. The authorities have previously limited internet access during or after protests, so keep important numbers and bookings saved on your phone.
- Think before you share. Police have said it is an offence to hold or share videos or images that “cause panic or degrade a person’s dignity” — be careful what you film and post.
- Emergency number. Dial 112 for ambulance, fire or police.

FAQ
Depends on your chosen plan: 500MB/day → 512 Kbps; 1GB/day → 512 Kbps; 2GB/day → 512 Kbps; 3GB/day → 1 Mbps. After that, you stay connected until your daily high-speed allowance resets.
eSIM plans for Tanzania connect via Airtel. Your device automatically selects the strongest local network; 5G is available where supported by the carrier, otherwise 4G/LTE applies. The specific carrier for each plan is listed on its detail page.
Daily plans provide a fixed amount of high-speed data refreshed each day (e.g., 1 GB/day). Once the daily high-speed limit is reached, speeds are reduced but connectivity remains — the full high-speed allowance resets the next day. Fixed-data plans end completely once exhausted; additional data must be purchased.
Essentially similar to "unlimited" plans on the market: you always stay connected, but speeds are reduced after exceeding your daily high-speed data allowance. We clearly state the reduced speed for each plan so you can choose the right one—no vague marketing.
Select the exact number of days for your trip — from 1 to 30 days. Pricing is per day: travel for 5 days, pay for 5 days — no need to overbuy a 30-day package.
1 GB/day is enough for maps, messaging, and social media. 2–3 GB/day if you frequently watch videos or make video calls. 5–10 GB/day for livestreaming or sharing a hotspot with your group.
For most plans, validity starts from the first time your eSIM connects to a network at your destination—you can safely install it at home before flying. Exact details for each plan are clearly stated on its product page.
