Uber operates in Tanzania. However, there may be better local alternatives.

Uber
Essential
Available in Dar es Salaam with reasonable coverage. A safe and convenient option for getting around the city, especially for travelers unfamiliar with local daladala minibuses.
Pro tip: Uber in Dar es Salaam can be slow during rush hour since traffic is intense. Allow extra time for pickups between 7-9 AM and 4-7 PM.
Bolt
Nice to have
Competes directly with Uber in Dar es Salaam and often has lower fares. Good driver availability and a straightforward app experience.
Pro tip: Bolt tends to have more drivers available in residential neighborhoods outside the city center. Try it first if you are staying away from the main tourist areas.
