The local currency is the Tanzanian Shilling but US Dollars are widely accepted. Credit cards are accepted at most hotels, but not at many shops and certainly not at the local markets.
Be prepared to pay a surcharge between 5% – 10% if paying by credit card. There is a 5% surcharge on any card transactions made at Most Hotels in Zanzibar!
