Mbeya Region, Solo travel
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.

Felt so safe Weather was fantastic in December People were sooo nice Food was over the top 🔝 Easy to get around Can be fairly cheap or really expensive, depending on what you like to do I stayed in Jambiani & Stone Town Getting around is easy, private drivers are suggested

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.

Arusha, Solo travel
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!

Iringa
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.

About me
Hi! I live in San Francisco and currently traveling through Africa (in Tanzania right now), and I am looking for friends to do trips with (around Africa & Europe). I have a dark sense of humor, like doing yoga, jigsaw puzzles, playing boardgames, dancing, music (especially house & techno), meeting new people, travelling (doh 😆). Would love to find meaningful connections and plan fun trips!
