The short answer
Six travel eSIMs sell data for Tanzania and get most of the traffic for this search. I priced all six on the same day, for a week on Zanzibar, two weeks of safari and beach, and a month, and I read the fine print on unlimited. Tanzania is one of the dearest countries for Ringo Light, and I say plainly where a rival is the better buy.
2 weeks at $45.99 or 30 days at $128.99, nothing renews. Two weeks is $3.01 less than Airalo's $49 for 15 days. For the month Ringo Light is not the cheapest: Airalo asks $99, $29.99 less.
3 days at $19.50, 15 days at $49 and 30 days at $99 on its Tanzacomm plan, on Halotel, with 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Ubigi's Best World plan is also $99 for 30 days.
10 GB for 30 days at $19 and 20 GB for 45 days at $29, on Airtel. Nomad sells no Tanzania unlimited.
Its Global plan is $59.99 for 30 days: 30 GB at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Its listing is dated 5 October 2026.
Prices read on 11 November 2026: Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi on their own sites or listings, Ringo Light from its catalogue. All in US dollars unless stated. Treat every number as a snapshot.

The prices, charted
US dollars, 11 November 2026. Airalo and Holafly sell 15 days, Ringo Light 2 weeks. Ubigi's is its Best World plan, 30 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps. Saily and Nomad sell no Tanzania unlimited for two weeks.
The 30-day plan at each brand. Saily's is its Global plan, 30 GB at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Ubigi's is its Best World plan, 60 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed. Here it costs the most.
Holafly sells no buckets. Ubigi sells no 30-day Tanzania 10 GB, so its bar is the Best World plan. Ringo Light sells no bucket either: its 2 weeks is unlimited and lasts 2 weeks, not 30 days.

What to do in Tanzania, and what your phone needs for it
Eight places most first trips include, from Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar on the coast to Kilimanjaro and the safari parks of the north, with the one thing your data does for you at each. Signal is good in the towns and on Zanzibar; in the parks it comes and goes, so offline maps and saved documents matter.
If you want unlimited: Ringo Light for two weeks, Airalo for a month
A first trip to Tanzania is often a safari in the north followed by a week on Zanzibar, about two weeks in all. For about two weeks of unlimited, Airalo asks $49 for 15 days and Holafly $54.90. Ringo Light asks $45.99 for 2 weeks, $3.01 less than Airalo and $8.91 less than Holafly. Ubigi sells no 15-day Tanzania plan; its Best World plan is $77 for 15 days. Saily and Nomad sell no Tanzania unlimited at all.
For a month, Airalo asks $99, Ubigi's Best World plan also $99 and Holafly $112.50. Ringo Light asks $128.99, $29.99 more than Airalo or Ubigi. Saily's Global plan is $59.99 for 30 days, but it gives 30 GB at full speed and 1 Mbps after that, and its listing is dated 5 October 2026. If you are staying a month, Airalo and Ubigi are cheaper than Ringo Light on a Tanzania plan and Saily cheaper on a global one. I would rather you read that here than at checkout.
Read what unlimited means before you pick. Airalo gives 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Ubigi gives a fixed amount at full speed, then 2 Mbps. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed for 7 days, 2 weeks or 30 days. For two weeks I would buy Ringo Light; for a month I would buy Airalo.
For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day plan; its 7 days is $33.99. Airalo sells 3 days of unlimited at $19.50, which is cheaper, and a week at $36, $2.01 more than Ringo Light's 7 days. Ubigi sells 7 days with 5 GB a day at full speed for $33, $0.99 less.
Which network works best in Tanzania
Tanzania has several networks: Vodacom, Airtel, Yas (the former Tigo), Halotel and TTCL. Vodacom and Airtel are strongest in Dar es Salaam, Arusha and on Zanzibar; Halotel built out far into the countryside. Holafly rides Vodacom, Nomad Airtel, Airalo Halotel, and Ubigi Halotel and Yas. In the national parks signal is patchy on every network: you will have it near the park gates and at many lodges, and lose it on long drives across the plains. Download offline maps and your safari documents before you leave Arusha. I would pick a plan on price and daily limits here, not on network.
If you want a data bucket: Nomad
- Nomad, $19 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB for 30 days, and 20 GB for 45 days at $29, the cheapest 20 GB too, on Airtel.
- Airalo, $26 for 10 GB. Its Tanzacomm plan: 20 GB for 30 days at $44.
- Saily, $28.99 for 10 GB. No 20 GB Tanzania plan. Its listing on esimdb is dated 5 October 2026.
- Ubigi, $26 for 10 GB over 8 days. Its 30-day Tanzania bucket is 25 GB at $45, on Halotel and Yas. For 10 GB over a month, its Best World plan is $39.
- ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. Ringo Light's 2 weeks is unlimited for $45.99 and its 30 days unlimited for $128.99. For a fixed amount of data, Nomad, Airalo, Saily and Ubigi are all cheaper in Tanzania. I would buy Ringo Light for unlimited with no daily cap, not for a bucket.
What Ringo Light is
Ringo Light is Ringo's own data eSIM, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For Tanzania it sells three trips, all unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 7 days at $33.99, 2 weeks at $45.99 and 30 days at $128.99. Nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.
In Tanzania Ringo Light's 2 weeks costs $3.01 less than Airalo's 15 days and its month $29.99 more than Airalo's. I would buy it for two weeks, with no daily speed cap; for a month, Airalo is the lower price. Tanzania is not in any Ringo regional trip, so there is no cheaper Ringo Light for it.
The card to buy it is further up this page, just after the side-by-side table.

We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.
Ringo Light is our own product. We put it in the table on the same terms as everyone else, and where a rival is the better buy the page says so.
Left out: Maya Mobile. We could not read its own prices for this country on the day, so it stays out rather than being guessed.
