Bring **small-denomination USD** and exchange some Tanzanian shillings at the airport for backup.
Don’t hold biases—Tanzania is very safe for travel, as long as you avoid wandering at night.
Most hotels **don’t provide disposable toiletries**, so pack your own toothbrush, toothpaste, slippers, etc.
During safaris, **do not feed animals** or litter.
Tanzania enforces a strict **plastic ban**—bring non-woven bags for trash during safaris.
