The waters are gorgeous in Zanzibar! The people are nice, the town is beautiful, the culture is rich and the sunsets are out of this world! I enjoyed it so much, nakupenda island will forever be in my heart. Don’t forget your sunscreen!

I enjoyed my time a lot. I never seen more friendly and happy people. Everyone is super welcoming and curious. Many shops did try to give higher price due to me being an obvious turist. Food comes in massive portions, taste pretty good, but i would avoid meat as it tastes different.

It was nice. I was at the Tanzania safari too, and it was good as well—I enjoyed it so much. I would recommend Zanzibar and Tanzania; it's worth the money and not too expensive, except for the tickets and the safari.

My origin is Mbeya. I was born there around Rungwe. Before the Death of my grandparents we use to visit there almost every December holiday per year. Places like Tukuyu,kyela. There livers and great waterbodies and hotels one could enjoy at. You’ll thank me later 🤭 I lost the previous phone and my iCloud account with all the photos but I can assure you great experience.

I did the entire journey from Italy to Tanzania alone without safety problems, but once you arrive I recommend traveling with guides that you have already chosen in your country of origin who are well known by the agency you rely on because it is more Safe. For the food put attention about vegetables and water

I went there to volunteer. It was one of the best experience I ever done. The thing I remember the most is the kindness of the people. I really recommend to have conversation with them and to talk. Beside that, the food isn’t excellent haha but very cheap.

I recently visited Arusha and had an amazing time! I felt safe throughout my stay, and the locals I met were incredibly kind. I traveled by bus from Nairobi, which took about 6 hours. On my first night, I stayed at Gran Melia Hotel Arusha, where the service was excellent. After that, I met up with a friend who is a local. We mostly ate at local restaurants, though I can't recall the names. I stayed for a week and spent my nights at Mrimba Palm Hotel, which I really loved. I used public...

Iringa has lots of tourists and As any other country anyone should be careful. But it’s a safe place to move around.(79% assurance). Using the right transport, and moving with familiar people of the area it’s going to be safe. I’ve lived here for 3 years now and. Nothing bad has ever happened to me.

Like any other big cities, it all depends on where you are. Some parts of the city are not so safe while most parts of the cities try to be safe considering that its a tourist city many laws are being put to make the guests feel more safe and secure.

I’ve felt very safe here as have many of my friends who have travelled or lived here previously. There are some issues with overly forward men, but ultimately they take no for an answer which is better than what I can say about North America.

A very lovley Place with lovley and helpful people. They are fine and want to help whenever they can. Of course there is a lot of men outthere who gonna help u because they like u. They try to flirt fast and doing that in a stubborn way.

It’s okay, it has some home brake ins, but they run when they see a person. It’s opportunistic crime. Our house was broken into, lots of stuff stolen, but that’s because the dogs were away and no one wake up. Anytime that someone wakes up the thief runs away
