Tanzania is usually planned as two trips on one ticket: the northern safari circuit around Arusha and the Serengeti, and the coast at Zanzibar. The two halves use data very differently. On the mainland it goes on confirming transfers, watching domestic flight times and staying in touch with a guide, while on the island it goes on finding somewhere to eat, booking boat trips and checking the tide tables that decide when you can actually walk out into the sea.

A GB plan is a fixed amount of data. When it is used up, data on that eSIM stops and nothing is charged automatically, but you can top up the same eSIM without a new QR code, and check what is left any time from your order page.

About 1–2GB a day in town and on Zanzibar for maps, messaging and booking excursions. Park days usually come in lower, simply because coverage arrives in short windows.
The main airports are Julius Nyerere in Dar es Salaam (DAR), Kilimanjaro (JRO) as the gateway to the northern safari circuit, Abeid Amani Karume on Zanzibar (ZNZ) and Mwanza (MWZ) on Lake Victoria. Fast ferries run regularly between Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar, so have the line live before boarding to check departures and seats. Overland, Namanga is the crossing to Kenya.
Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Moshi, Mwanza and the main Zanzibar towns such as Stone Town and Nungwi are comfortably covered. Inside the Serengeti and Ngorongoro it drops to patches around ridges, park gates and some camps. The Kilimanjaro climbing routes catch signal at scattered spots you should never build a plan around, and the island's east coast and smaller fishing villages slow down noticeably in the evening peak.

Zanzibar is part of Tanzania, so a plan that lists Tanzania as its coverage area works on both sides on the terms shown on the plan page. What matters before you buy is reading that coverage list against your actual route. If the itinerary also crosses into Kenya, look at a regional plan instead, so you are not switching profiles at the border or hoping the line attaches on the other side.
Not all the way. Some points on the routes and some camps do catch a signal because they have line of sight to masts far below, but long sections are silent and it shifts with the weather and which side of the mountain you are on. Do not schedule anything that must happen online during the climb: download what you need, warn people at home about the silent days, and save the battery for your camera and head torch rather than hunting for bars.
Tanzania runs an eVisa system on the immigration department's website, and applying ahead cuts the queue you face on arrival. Check the conditions and current processing time on the official site before you book flights, because requirements differ by nationality and entry type. Once the document comes through, save the file to your device rather than leaving it in your inbox, so you can show it even before the line attaches on landing.
Most plans here start when the phone first connects to a network at the destination, so you can install in advance at home and switch it on after landing. Each plan page states its own rule.
No. The eSIM is a second line, so you keep your home number for SMS OTP. Turn off roaming data on the home line and set the eSIM as the data line.
