Do I need a SIM Card in Tanzania?

No, you do not need a SIM card as a visitor in Tanzania, although having one allows you to make phone calls and send texts rather than relying entirely on public or hotel WiFi to access the internet. Before purchasing a SIM card in Tanzania, ensure that your phone is unlocked and compatible with eSIMs.

It's preferable to activate your eSIM 1-2 days before your trip to Tanzania. This guarantees that everything operates well upon arrival. Remember that the setup procedure requires a good Wi-Fi or data connection.
