cost of living Tanzania?

Question

$1,900.00 a month. (987 British pounds )(after taxes) what does that translate to in Tanzania Shillings (TZS) ..and is it enough to live on in Tanzania..not in the cities. Housing paid for by company. what would a single person realistically need to have a good social life with these factors....per month

Answer 1

$1 USD is approximately equivalent to 1,000 TShs. I lived in a village for two years on well under $100 each month. Life in the city is more expensive, but that amount could easily pay for the services of a housekeeper, a driver, a translator, safaris, etc without a problem. Most well-off tourists in TZ spend $2,000-10,000 on a 2-3 week safari so you should be fine.

I think you'll have a fantastic time in Tanzania. Enjoy the nightlife & learning about the country. Of course, like anywhere else, keep your eyes open & be safe.

Answer 2

That is more than TWO Millions TZ shillings. You will leave like a king. You hardly need more than 500,000 tz shillings to live comfatbily in Tanzania, particualrly if housing is paid for and you will be living up country. Even in DSM that will be more than what you need.

All the best!/

Answer 3

is cheap compare to that amout you specified..as around 300 Pound is enough to live here,,,and if you think of stay upcountry and your company paid for you a house you need less than that..
