While Tanzania is swelteringly hot for much of the year, it can also get very cold, plus you\u2019ll need different types of clothes for different activities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going on safari? You\u2019ll need lightweight clothing in neutral colours. Want to trek Mount Kilimanjaro? You\u2019ll need plenty of warm weather hiking gear. Want to relax on the beaches on Zanzibar? You\u2019ll need swimwear, but you\u2019ll also need to dress modestly outside the resorts, to respect the local culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/cultural-traditions-tanzanian-culture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">6 cultural traditions to be aware of before you travel to Tanzania<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, your Tanzania packing list should include lots of layers, ranging from t-shirts, long skirts and shorts, to long-sleeved tops, warm sweaters, trousers and a waterproof jacket.

If you plan to do any hiking or walking safaris, bring a sturdy pair of boots with good ankle support, and some thick socks. You\u2019ll also need a pair of sandals or flip-flops for lounging by the pool or the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED BY: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/t\/african-safari-adventure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">African Safari Adventure<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-sun-protection\"><strong>3.

You should bring items like pain killers, antiseptic ointment and bandaids, hand sanitiser, electrolyte tablets or powders, strong insect repellent, eye drops and travel sickness tablets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also need to bring any personal medications, and you\u2019ll need to consult your doctor before your trip for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/foreign-travel-advice\/tanzania\/health\">health advice<\/a>, such as vaccinations and taking malaria prophylaxis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/how-to-dress-africa-middle-east\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to dress appropriately when travelling to Africa and the Middle East<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/02\/traditional-jumping-display-tanzania-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"Masaai tribesmen wearing traditional dress Tanzania\" class=\"wp-image-25268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/traditional-jumping-display-tanzania-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/traditional-jumping-display-tanzania-330x220.jpeg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/traditional-jumping-display-tanzania-360x240.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/traditional-jumping-display-tanzania-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/traditional-jumping-display-tanzania.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-toiletries\"><strong>5.

Remember to bring extra memory cards so you never run out of space, extra chargers and waterproof cases to keep everything secure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also need to bring a travel plug adaptor for Tanzania. There are two plug types in Tanzania &#8211; types D and G. Plug type D has three round pins in a triangular pattern and plug type G has two flat parallel pins and a grounding pin.

However, there are a few things you\u2019ll need cash for like souvenirs and extra activities. It\u2019s best to come prepared with&nbsp; a mix of credit or debit cards and cash on your Tanzania packing list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re using cash, bring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonelyplanet.com\/tanzania\/a\/nar-gr\/money-and-costs\/355640\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">US dollar bills that are dated after 2006<\/a>. Any bills dated prior to 2006 won\u2019t be accepted anywhere as the older bills are easier to forge. You can use your US cash in larger establishments, but you\u2019ll also need some of the local currency, Tanzanian shillings, for use in smaller places and for tipping.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are exchanging money in Tanzania, use hotels, banks and official exchange bureaus (you can ask your Trafalgar Travel Director for advice). You can also withdraw money around the country using Visa and Mastercard from ATMs (be aware of surcharges), while some lodges and higher-end shops will accept credit cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Have you got any Tanzania packing list tips?
