Is this connected to the seizure of the coastal properties in Nungwi mentioned a few days back?... "Zanzibar confiscates drug traffickers' assets valued at Sh15.3 billion"

Tusker trophy hunting

I am curious if you are aware of the 5 tuskers that have been killed in north Tanzania? How do you feel about this? There are international calls for boycotts of travel to Tanzania and the World Bank has stopped tourism support.

Would you even pack shorts?

Going on a safari in July. Our packing guide from our tour agency put shorts on the packing list. My main concern is bugs… we will obviously have all our shots/meds beforehand and will carry bug spray. But would people suggest even packing shorts? Trying to pack light but sensible and thorough!

Seeking Contact Information or Directories for a business in Tanzania

Hello r/Tanzania,

I'm looking for contact information for a company called "MRS YASMIN NURDIN YUSUFALI T A TAHERY SUPPLIES" in Tanzania. I've struggled to find their details through standard search methods and am reaching out for community assistance.

If anyone could provide an email, phone number, or physical address for this business, it would be incredibly helpful. Additionally, links to any Tanzanian business directories or contact information for trade associations that might have their details would also be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for your help!

Which is better?

I've recently bought a hisense 4k tv 43inch after using a TCL 4k 43 inch, and I've noticed the quality as a down grade. I hooked up my ps5 and use it to play 4k movies or shows but it looks 4k but TCL's image quality seemed better to me. Has anyone else observed this???

Any ideas how to improve my chances of seeing Kilimanjaro outside of the clouds?

Hey folks,

I am currently working in Kisangara, Kilimanjaro region. I got good views already but all were quite distance. Although seeing Kilimanjaro is still spectacular, I really want to see it from Moshi. Is there maybe an app, a livestream or a good weather broadcast that could reliably tell me when the weather conditions are quite good so I can drive to moshi? It takes over an hour so it’s hard to do it spontaneously. Will be here for the next 6 weeks.

Tanzania travel

Just wondering about the bus from Arusha to Mombo (or to Lushoto if the bus goes there). How long is the bus trip and what time does it leave from and where in Arusha?

Also are there any other options to get there (other than a private shuttle which is too expensive)?

zanzibar transit

Hi everyone,

I am struggling to find information about this online but I have a connecting flight from Zanzibar to Dar Es Salaam(with precision air).
I will be arriving from Istanbul around 3am and my next flight to Dar Es Salaam is not until 11am so there is a lot of time. In Zanbiar do they have a seprate section for transiting passengers or will I go through arrivals like everyone else and do I need to recheck my bags? Would it apprecaite some help.

This was never the original itinerary, but unfortunately a delay in my original itinerary required me to be re routed

RANT:What's the stigma about anyway?

Hi. I'm new to reddit but I definitely need to get this off. I'm 19 and I intend to study law abroad. I have wanted to be a lawyer (Swear to God) since I was in class 2. For some reason I chose that option I have never looked back. I have prepped my CV knowing I have dedicated my life to being a lawyer. And due to some reasons I always saw myself going to study on the UK, come back home and be able to use what "learned" and like pamoja na other people from here we can legit change the way not only how we see our country but the world in general. I know its naive for me to think like that but I think people don't see Tanzania or Africa for that matter being a world superpower country is the reason we are in the place that we are in right now. I genuinely hoped that I will meet like minded people and be able to work together and actually do something.

Now to my point.

By the grace of my mum (a single working class mum) has blessed me by taking me to an international school which I came to find out is legit one of the worst things that could ever happen in my life.

After my O-Levels and my A-Levels I decided to go and do some work experience again to build my CV and gain experience. I went through cut throat interrogation by people who run NGOs and Law firms with questions about my life decisions. Like "why are you studying in an international school", "you must feel like your better than us because you study there", "why must you study abroad you must be a rich kid", "you do know you can't ever be a lawyer here if you study abroad" and my favourite "Do you know that you will probably just end working for your rich parents or live abroad anyway".

My first reactions were WTF!

Kwani mimi nimefanya nini to deserve such treatment let alone word from grown up at the time I was 16 and 18.

First of all, the fact that I have even been able to study where I have I thank God everyday because despite what many might think not all kids from these schools come from rich families. Nimesoma na so many kids that come from very humble parents and beginnings. What changes are the characters of these kids because of either how they were raised au peer pressure from kids that are rich. Luckily, I have never forgotten my struggle and I know that these riches come and they go.

Secondly, who made the rule kwamba " You can't study abroad and come back home to work ". WHO??? It makes no sense. The thought that people wanna go and stay abroad was made because when they come back they aren't allowed to get no jobs. Listen, don't get me wrong I know people are ignorant, some don't like coming back . I get it. Some come back and they are assholes, thinking there are better that people. Again, I get it. Lakini, that's doesn't give anyone the right stigmatise everyone. Because, these are the same people in positions to give you jobs, they take their kids to these schools and take them abroad. For many, they keep them there. Some come back and are put in these same positions of power not giving anyone an actual chance.

Who is the wrong one here sasa?

This shit actually has to stop au we are going to be kicking out so many smart people and talent(which we are already doing and it's hurting us) and allowing other countries to develop further leaving us undeveloped and indebt.

There is a chance someone out there might think maybe I'm wrong for feeling this way then POA. Lakini it is what it is.

Issues with Visa Payment Decline

I'm having issues with processing the payment for my client's Tanzania visas. I've run 4 different cards, tried running the payment in the morning as opposed to the evening, and tried to even do it on another web browser and the payment still declines. My client even called her bank to make sure she was cleared to run the card, but still nothing. At this point they are considering getting a visa on arrival, and if they do, what do they need to bring to Tanzania to get the visa and which currency to pay for it? 

Advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

RANT: Absurdity of Housing Prices!"

Can we talk about how insane housing prices have become? I mean, seriously, it's getting ridiculous out here! Trying to find an affordable place to live feels like searching for a needle in a haystack. It's like every time I think I've found something within my budget, bam its priced way beyond reason. How the hell is a house in maji ya chai that looks pretty average cost 200000$
