🧭 Puma's Travel Essentials — What Every Visitor Should Know

🔋 Before You Pack for Puma

A dead phone charger is a rough way to start a trip to Puma. Confirm the local socket type and voltage in the Electrical Standards table above before you leave home, then pack a universal adapter rather than hunting for the right plug once you land.

Puma keeps Left-hand traffic, same as the rest of Tanzania. Arriving from a country with opposite-side traffic takes a minute to recalibrate — roundabouts and multi-lane junctions are where the mistake usually happens. See the Driving & General Info card above for the full reference.
