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 transportation, and the Daladalas there are really cheap and convenient. During my stay, I visited several places, including the Cultural Heritage Centre, the German Boma Museum, and Meserani Snake Park. I also got a fantastic view of Mount Meru. Arusha is a wonderful place to explore, and I highly recommend it!

It was 2022 we went Mikumi national park with my friends. It was a good day for us. We enjoyed a lot it is not expensive from the transportation, fees and food.we learned about animals and birds also we saw it like antelope, giraffe, hippopotamus, monkey. We took photos it was nice.
Posted: April 4, 2024How safe is this place for female solo travelers? I have been there four times and always loved and enjoyed it. It is a budget-friendly destination and a lot of fun. The best sunset and sunrise I’ve ever experienced in my life.
Posted: February 3, 2024Zanzibar is beautiful and amazing. Don’t miss out on activities such as Swimming with horses and turtles. It’s safe to move around alone even at night. I moved around stone town, Paje and Nungwi. Nungwi has the best beaches.
Posted: January 28, 2024I went to Zanzibar by myself and it is one of the few places where I felt that I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't there alone. It wasn't dangerous, at least I didn't feel threatened at all, and everyone was very nice, but maybe too nice. I like to walk around alone, immersed in my thoughts and in silence and peace, I don't mind occasional street vendors, etc., but there was too much of that, people would stop me asking if I want to use a tour guide, if I refused, they would insist and chase after me asking why not, etc. It was a bit overwhelming for me.
Posted: December 24, 2023I was alone in Tanzania and I felt safe. I started in Arusha for a safari. Then I took a bus to Moshi, then a bus to Dar es Salaam, and finally a ferry to Zanzibar. Generally, I felt safe, except Dar Es Salaam is not a place where wandering alone at night is a good idea. Many local men approached me in the streets. Usually, they just wanted to chat, and some proposed to me right away, but I learned to ignore them.
Posted: December 3, 2023I was alone in Nungwi for a week. I really liked it and felt safe, but I didn't go out much in the evening. Maasai and tour guides were bothering me on the beach, but after a few days, when I said no, they stopped asking me to buy things. One of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen.
Posted: December 2, 2023I spent 3 weeks on a solo trip to Zanzibar and was thrilled with it. I felt absolutely safe, but unfortunately, interactions with locals were a bit overwhelming. The inhabitants have good intentions, but they are certainly very persistent in establishing social contacts or selling things. When I felt very uncomfortable, I would pretend to answer a phone call or that I was running late and needed to continue on my way.

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.
Posted: December 25, 2024It’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
