Best way to get from Tanga to Moshi early morning and arrive around 10 AM?

Hey everyone! I'm planning a trip from Tanga to Moshi as I have a Kilimanjaro climb from there and need to get there by around 10 AM. What's the best way to travel that early in the morning? Iโ€™ve seen some bus schedules, but theyโ€™re later in the morning. Are there any other buses or options that would get me there by then? Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! ๐Ÿ™
Thanks in advance! :D

Getting dollars in Dar es salaam

Hello, I need to obtain dollars to pay the rent for where I'm living. What's the cheapest and easiest way to do so? Are there any ATMs here that dispense dollars? I know I can exchange shillings, but that would require multiple ATM withdrawals, and the fees from my bank would add up. Thank you.

Why the Tanzanian reddit society is dead?

I have followed many reddit pages but the Tanzania one is so dead. I rarely see it on my feed. Mostly itโ€™s just Kenya, Nairobi, and Nigeria. Why is that so?

Need advice regarding shipping a used American ambulance to Tanzania

I am a member of a large international service club in the US. We have a current project we are working on with Tanzanian doctors to help construct a hospital in a rural area in Tanzania. In addition to equipment for the hospital some of our members are looking at the feasability of shipping a used US ambulance to Tanzania to assist in this project.

There are some practical concerns about this idea.

1: Is a typical heavy, lower slung US ambulance designed for well maintained roads going to work in Tanzanian terrain? In looking at African ambulance pictures online, for ambulances serving rural areas, it appears that most are on high ground clearance 4 wheel drive truck chassis.

2: Will a US vehicle with a steering wheel on the left side designed for driving on the right hand side of the road be allowed in Tanzania where you drive on the left side and steering wheels are on the right?

3: Shipping looks like it would cost $5000 to $10,000 to deliver a vehicle the size of an amblulance. Would it make more sense just to give them some funds and let them source their own ambulance in Tanzania?

Any advice appreciated.

Mkate Minima

Trying to recreate foods I grew up eating but no one here to teach me hands on. I found several recipes for the Mkate Minima but I made some substitutions regarding coconut and now my mixture is too wet/diluted. Any way to save this from being ruined?

How hard is political change in TZ?

I am a Tanzanian American who is very young so I am familiar with US corruption but not so much Tanzanian corruption. I know that TZ elections are next year, and I wanted to know politically how hard is it to advocate for changes, whether big or small. I'm curious because a growing amount of people think that dual citizenship could be beneficial to TZ but they still don't allow it, so I was wondering how hard could something such as that topic be to advocate for policy change on a national level ? Asante.

Kiswahili Fiction

I have decided to read Kiswahili novels for the next year or so. I started last month, and just finished reading Uchu- Harakati za Willy Gamba, and currently reading Harusi ya Dogoli. Very interesting stories. What other books would you recommend?

Diaspora Status

Does anyone else think that they don't want to pass the visa relaxation law for Diaspora as it would harm the current political elite? I think they are trying to buy time so that they can strategically acquire all the resources and assets at a convenient price for themselves and then offload them to non-suspecting investors who are genuinely excited to return and contribute towards the homeland.

Starlink in Tanzania

Are we ever going to get starlink services in Tanzania, and what's the major hurdle delaying this.

Can someone share bits of what happened in Kenya regarding Starlink, and if there's a context to be concerned for in Tanzania.
