Electricity and power sockets

The electricity grid in Tanzania operates at 50 Hz and with a terminal voltage of 230 V.

Sockets and plugs used in Tanzania are of the 'British' 'G' type, and less commonly the relatively rare 'D' type.

A type G socket has three rectangular holes.

• Sockets - G and D
• Voltage - 230 V
• Frequency - 50 Hz

Internet

There is excellent 5G internet coverage in major urban areas.

However, you have to take into account that in rural areas, but also in smaller villages, internet coverage is often poor or non-existent.

Public wi-fi networks are offered by the vast majority of hotels and guesthouses and are available in many larger restaurants. However, the internet is usually very slow and only sufficient for basic web browsing.
