Tanzania eSIM — Zanzibar, Kilimanjaro and the Serengeti
A BellRoam Tanzania eSIM gives you mobile data across Tanzania and Zanzibar without buying a SIM on arrival. Receive the QR code by email, install it before you fly and switch it on when you land in Dar es Salaam, Arusha or Zanzibar.
Network and coverage
| Network | Airtel |
| Strong coverage | Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Moshi, Stone Town and Zanzibar's main beaches |
| Weaker spots | The Serengeti interior, Ngorongoro crater floor, Kilimanjaro's upper slopes and southern parks |
The network shown on each plan is the one your eSIM connects to.
Which plan should I choose?
- A beach week in Zanzibar: maps, messaging, ride-hailing and social media fit in a small total-data plan.
- Safari plus Zanzibar (2 weeks): choose a mid-size plan if you navigate all day, upload photos or share a hotspot.
- Remote work or lots of video: pick the largest plan and use Wi-Fi for big downloads.
eSIM, local SIM or roaming?
| BellRoam eSIM | Airport SIM | Roaming from home | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ready when you land | Yes, installed before you fly | After queueing and registration | Yes |
| Keep your own number | Yes, on your main SIM | You swap SIM cards | Yes |
| Cost | Prepaid, fixed price | Tourist prices at the airport | Often the most expensive |
Tips for Tanzania
- Bolt and Uber work in Dar es Salaam; in Zanzibar taxis are usually booked through your hotel.
- On Kilimanjaro and in the Serengeti signal is patchy; download maps and share your itinerary.
Visiting more than Tanzania?
A Tanzania plan works in Tanzania only. Visiting neighbours too? Buy a plan for each country: Kenya.
