Travel logistics are straightforward: the official currency is the Tanzanian Shilling (TZS), and both Swahili and English are widely spoken especially in tourist areas. Seasonal rhythms guide the best times to visit: dry months (June–October, January–February) favour safaris and mountain climbs, while wetter periods bring lush scenery and fewer crowds.
