Thanks. I did see that Vodacom had a "bolt-on" 1GB package for what works out to be about $27. I'll also check out Zain. But the real issue is coverage and 3G data. I was in Tanzania in 2007, and was amazed that people were getting cell service inside the national parks -- I often can't even do that in the U.S. I had previously been there in 1999, and saw hardly any cell phones. But I don't know what carrier they were using or whether any carrier now has 3G coverage in those areas.

I have a friend who is a guide there. I'll ask him.
