Hi!

I'm trying to call them to ask about rates and membership, but their website is down, I can't find a number anywhere and they don't respond to instagram. Anyone know how I can contact them? I don't even know the location to go their in person 🥲

Hi Reddit! My friend (F30) and I (F32) will be spending New Years in zanzibar this year! We're both American from NYC and arriving the morning of the 31st. Anything fun happening on the island somewhere for us to hang/party?

I'm an American female, 32, doing a few weeks in East Africa with a friend (F30) in Dec/Jan. We'll be spending New Years in Zanzibar and afterwards we're trying to get to Kenya. We need to be in Kilifi on Jan 5th for a dhow experience, so originally we were going to fly from Zanzibar into Nairobi, then take a train from Nairobi to Mombasa and go from there.

However we've seen a quick cheap flight from Zanzibar straight into Mombasa so we kept trying to book that but it never goes through every time we try. The flight from Zan to Nairobi is 3x the cost. So now I'm trying to get creative.

Anyone have experience renting a car in Dar es Salaam and driving into Kenya one way, and if so, could you give some details on how that could go? I have an American license and consider myself a very good driver. Reliable car rental companies, things to keep in mind, how much a police bribe typically needs to be, etc.

Otherwise, I was considering maybe hitchhiking from Dar? I know some adventurous travelers who've done this but i never have so want to be cognizant and smart but I'm also confident in staying as safe as I can in an adventure :)

TL/DR: Looking for creative ideas to get us to Nairobi/Mombasa/Kilifi from Zanzibar/Tanzania before we decide to just get that expensive one way flight from Zan to Nairobi.

Hey guys, Is there any structural engineer in this community ? Whether works in Tanzania or abroad .. just looking to connect and share ideas in this platform. If there's any, can you tel us what is it like to work where you are now ? Or just anything u may feel to share regarding your career

Hello everybody. Hope you guys are well. anyone has experience with renting an office or going to a co working space ( do we have those here)

Any insights will be appreciated. Kinda tired working from home :)

I’ve been living in Dar es Salaam for a few months now and I have met some wonderful people I’d like to buy Christmas gifts for. What are typical gifts that people appreciate here (for both men and women)? Would items like kanga, spices, food, tea/coffee, or something else be well received?

Thank you!

I (28F) have been working for the same company since I graduated from undergrad five years ago. They actually reached out to offer me the job because of my high GPA, so I never really applied for any job. Things were going well until this past June, when the company’s income dropped, and my contract ended.

One thing about this company is that they have an “unofficial” culture where you’re expected to keep showing up at work, even if you’re not currently being paid, so you’ll be remembered when future roles come up. But after my contract ended, I decided to stay home to save on transportation and meals, as well as take care of my kids. I wasn’t comfortable spending money I didn’t have for free work with no guarantee.

A few weeks after that, my boss actually called me. I missed his call initially, and when I called back, he didn’t pick up. I texted, and he responded saying he’d call me back, but I haven’t heard from him since.

Since then, I’ve been job hunting but haven’t had much luck. I’ve sent out about 8 applications (there aren’t many jobs in my field), so I only find about one fitting role every couple of weeks. I have 5YOE in research and a master’s degree from a UK, also with a high GPA. Despite this, I haven’t received any responses at all, not even rejections just ghosting.

At this point, I’m honestly wondering if these job postings are even real. Has anyone else experienced this, or am I missing something here? Any advice or similar stories would be really appreciated.

Hi there, We are two foreigners planning to get married in Tanzania. We submitted all of the required documents on the eRITA site and our status has changed to “ACCEPTED.”

Does anyone know what the next step is? Do we need to go to our District Registrar to pay or to RITA to pay? We have already waited 21 days, but there’s no additional information/guidance on the system. I don’t know when/how the bill will be issued to pay the 100,000 TZS for the marriage license.

Any guidance would be so helpful! We plan to get married in December.

i was looking around on google earth when i found this small island located in the middle of lake Victoria. i can't find any information about it at all anywhere online, so i was curious if anyone here knows anything about it?

Does Tanzania support Green energy completely? Is there any scope of coal power plant in the future?

Anyone interested in joining a road trip from Dar es Salaam to Lushoto and Tanga on December 1, 2024, is welcome! Preferably, participants should have a Honda ADV 160cc scooter. Let’s ride together!

Hi I'm working on a project, and want the translation for a few pre-kiswahili words in my great-grandmother language (Nyiramba), such as, butterfly, flower, sunflower, sun, sunshine, moon , my great-nana married into Sukuma tribe, so most of my family speak Swahilli or Sukuma.

Some other Nyiramba family members have lived in Dar for 2-3 generations now, so don't speak it, any place where I can get translation ? If not Nyiramba, Nyaturu is ok.

I asked a guy on Tz Facebook group and he requested 300,000 tz shillings just for those 6 words, maybe because location on my profile was in London. When I told him my parents were born and raised in tz, he kept saying he could change it what's my last price.

Looking for motels and hotels aorund UDSM to stay at. For now I have found Survey motel, which looks great, but is a bit expensive.

Hi, Currently most people have been participating in such lottery games and I’d say, some are lucky enough to win and some not. Any advice on these and is it worth the risk participating such lottery games?

Anyone and everyone can be a part of this! I am hosting a totally free walking food tour and cooking class for any one willing to join around mid November.

Its for a fairly new business called Taste of Tanzania which deals with offering tourists a close to authentic view of Tanzanian cuisine as well as cooking class.

It involves a morning breakfast walking food tour, followed a visit to the nearest local market to source ingredients and finalized by a cooking class.

I have secured some partnerships with airbnbs to link me with customers but they have asked me for content on previous customers so they know what theyll be getting before recommending their guests.

So far I have one this thrice and 2 of those times I didnt think of recording the experience and 1 of those times the customer was not comfortable with it.

That being said, volunteers MUST;

>Be okay with me using their photos and videos for promotions, (bonus if you are a tourist or can pass as a tourist but its not really necessary)

> Be available on Saturday 16th November from the morning till late afternoon

> Be willing to commute to mbezi kimara, Dar es Salaam (will specify the location after confirmation) The tour is completely free but you will need to pay your transport money out of pocket as I currently dont have the budget for that.

Please feel free to ask any questions or link anyone you know. It will be a great help!

I also have a couple new positions that I want to hire very soon;

1 graphic designer

1 social media manager

Bonus if you can do both, and EXTRA bonus if you also recommend people who can pass as tourists for the mid november program.

Hey Folks,

Hey guys! I look at gaming cultures around the world and I am a racing game fan. I have asked all of these questions on different subreddits, simply because I am curious about how each and every single country on this planet experiences video games. I am also curious about gaming in Tanzania. My questions are:

What is more popular? PC or console?

What was more popular in the late 90s and early 2000s? PC or Console?

What racing game was popular in the late 90s and early 2000s!

What do racing game fans in Tanzania play today?-(I get it might not be the most popular genre, but for people who like it, what do they play?)

In general, what games are played there?

Thanks for your responses!!!!

Mates, good evening!! How safe is it to drive to Kilwa from Dar (a female Tanzanian). Are the roads as smooth? As my car is really low. (subaru hatchback) Any prior info/ details I should know about? Thanks!

Hi there. You’ll probably find this as a silly question, but is it normal loving your own company a little too much? I have travelled within my country (Tanzania) and even outside on an adventure trips alone. I am an adventure seeker, so any little holiday I tend to get out of the city. May it be for hiking, beach, or just a proper change of scenery. Sometimes my friends would want to join, so I end up not sharing my plans so I wouldn’t have to have excuses and I could be alone. My mom says it’s a bad thing; and i do know that yes; we do need people: but is this normal? In the long run could it probably affect the way I live? 🥲

A few days ago I had to go to court early in the morning 9am to be exact, proble is nikachelewa kutoka home, so I had to drive fast and of course nikafika sehemu Kuna wale traffic with the speed camera, I didn't want to be late but I also didn't want to get fined so I slowed down to 50.

Suddenly this government car is behind me honking and turning on their lights wanting to pass, but the road didn't allow it, thinking I should let them pass I had to speed up as well so that they could pass. Mara naona traffic anasogea barabarani raising his hand to stop me, while the government car that had to pass went by...

In my mind I'm screaming fuuuu.... I said fuck this shit , nikawasha hazard nikawasha taa nikampigia horn, naona anendelea kusogea to the middle of the road so nikamkwepa tu and sped away like the wind, he shouted so loud "KWANI WEWE NANI BWANA" . That I heard it though my closed windows.

Nikasema shiit hapa nikisimamishwa na traffic wa mbele I'm in big trouble 😵‍💫.... So I didn't stop nika speed up nikapita Hadi red lights and made it to court on time.

When I left court I fully expected that I would be stopped by the police, but to my surprise not a single one seemed to care and even the place where that police was he wasn't there anymore, so I got home and parked the car and have beend driving a different car during the day.

My question is how would I know if my car has been listed somewhere or if there's a fine I need to pay so that I can just drive it without worries.
