Zanzibar, Group travel

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.

Zanzibar, Family travel

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.

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.

Arusha

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.

Zanzibar City

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.
