Συμβουλές για την πόλη
Έθιμα και πολιτισμός
The locals are very friendly, mambo/habari is greetings
it's a custom to greet each other when we passby, it is kind of a big deal here. Also when someone helps or serves you at the shop or local butcher - you can say 'Ahsante' in swahili it means thank you. It's okay to wear short clothes when going to the city but always have a piece of cloth to wrap up just in case you passby a mosque - especially on fridays.
Τρόποι μεταφοράς
Uber/Bolt is the fastest way to get around
I have worked with an uber driver who is very faithful and I use him with all my guests - he can arrange a special rate for you to move around the city. PS: He speaks english (not very common).
Sometimes you would also like your items picked up from the store, hence I work with 2 motorcycle men (bodaboda) who can help with delivery. 1 of them speaks english

Not many locals speak english
An etimate of not more than 20% of Tanzanians speak English, and many of those who do are busy at white collar jobs, so you will mostly be interacting with the other 80%.
