What is the local currency, and do I need to carry some with me to pay for goods?The local currency in Zanzibar is the Tanzanian Shilling (TSh). US dollar bank notes are also widely accepted as payment throughout the island. Please note that due to local banking practices we are unable to accept $100 US bills that were produced prior to 2007. Credit cards such as Visa and MasterCard are accepted at large establishments, including ours.
