Yes, credit cards are available in Tanzania, but they are not as widely used as in some other countries.

The official currency of Tanzania is the Tanzanian shilling. There are 50, 100, and 1,000 shilling coins and 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, and 10,000 shilling notes. Local currency is mainly used by local businesses such as supermarkets and local restaurants. Dollars and, to a lesser extent, sterling and euros are the best money to take Tanzania. Cash is very useful for those occasions when the Tanzanian shilling is not accepted, such as when paying for upmarket hotel rooms and air tickets, both of which, officially at least, must be paid for in hard currency. The disadvantage of cash is that it is the riskiest way to carry money.
