Most visitors need a tourist visa, obtainable online in advance or on arrival depending on nationality — either way, a passport valid well beyond your travel dates is essential.
Because immigration rules do change, always confirm current requirements through an official source (your nearest Tanzanian embassy/consulate, or the government's official immigration site) close to your travel date, not from a blog post written months or years earlier.

Answered in full in our practical travel info — and always confirm current visa rules with an official source close to your travel date.
What Money to Bring
Live rates via the European Central Bank. Most places in Tanzania take US dollars in cash or mobile money (M-Pesa/Tigo Pesa) — smaller notes and newer bills (2009 or later) are strongly preferred.
