Daily Life Stuff Get a sim card or hotspot.
Vodacom is best but more expensive like double the price.
Helps to have a Tanz namba if you plan to stay..
Airtel has cheap rates and sells the hotspot for only $20ish. But the data is somewhat janky in my opinion. It'll say you purchased 12 gig but only show you 1.2 gig . Hot spot only lasts an hour so keep a charger on you
Other providers
Halotel, Tigo, Zantel (only really good in Zanzibar)
Mobile Money Options
World Remit!Give u
GivePENSIVE traditional ATM an fees for World Remit - world wide bank/Credit card transfers for around $1.
