Why You Need an eSIM for Tanzania & Zanzibar
Navigate game drives, share Big Five photos in real time, and stay in touch with your guide — all without paying $20+/day in roaming fees.
Stone Town, Nungwi, and Kendwa all have solid 4G. Share sunset photos, book snorkeling tours, and use Google Maps to explore the island without a local SIM.
Stay connected at Moshi and Arusha before your climb. Signal fades above 3,000m, but your eSIM keeps you online at base camp and in town for logistics and emergency contact.
Doing both Kenya and Tanzania? One AloOui multi-country eSIM covers both — no need to buy a new SIM when you cross from Nairobi to Arusha or take the ferry to Zanzibar.
Tanzania & Zanzibar Connectivity Guide
What to expect at each destination:
Excellent 4G LTE coverage across the city. Julius Nyerere International Airport, city centre, and suburbs all have strong signal. Great for arrival, departure, and city days.
Good 4G coverage in Stone Town, Nungwi, Kendwa, and Paje. More remote beaches may have 3G only. Reliable enough for social media, maps, and WhatsApp calls.
Patchy signal in most of the park. Connectivity is better near the main gate (Seronera) and some lodges. Download offline maps in Arusha before entering the park.
Limited but improving coverage. Signal is available at the crater rim and conservation area lodges. Deep inside the crater, connectivity is minimal. Pre-download maps.
Excellent 4G in both cities. Arusha is the safari hub — use it to download offline maps, book activities, and make video calls before heading into the parks.
Signal is available at lower camps (Machame, Lemosho gates). Above 3,500m, connectivity drops significantly. Use your eSIM for logistics in Moshi and at base camp.
