Hello, I’m hosting an event in Zanzibar. I wanted to play some popular Tanzanian upbeat songs in Swahili, English, or Arabic.
What songs should I play or any artist I should check out?
Please no inappropriate songs
Thank you for your help!
Let’s say I only want a one room. To rent. It can be closer to the villages or wherever. I’m just wondering where it’s cheapest to live

I’m curious about which type of product (consumer or for other businesses) you guys think we need more here, like idk office furniture, machines, pencils, all this are stupid examples, but at the final point I just want to think about a business idea.
Hello all,
I am getting quite stressed planning the rest of my East Africa trip itinerary for the summer. I would like to go to Gombe Ntl Park and from there head to Kigali. I figure this makes the most geographical sense & time wise...please correct me if I'm wrong.
From Gombe, are there shuttle services to get into Kigali? Or is flying the only option, and in that case, should I fly out of Arusha instead?
Thank you in advance!!
Hi everyone, two students from Germany here:) We are currently working in Mwanza and will be having some spare time at the end of June. We were planning to go climb Mount Meru, maybe some of you went up there recently and could answer some questions?
As we are travelling on a budget we need to minimize cost as far as possible. We think we do have the necessary mountain experience and we also have trekking equipment with us. So if possible we would like to try climbing it on our own without a guide or porters (except for the necessary ranger of course). Some friends from Mwanza went there five years ago on their own as well and they also said that we should be fine. On the other hand we read somewhere that the national park staff are not allowing people to climb it without a tour guide, can someone confirm? And maybe if someone who went climbing meru on his own is out there, what was your experience and is there something we should definitely do/not do?
Thanks for your help:)
The East African Community (EAC) is facing a perfect storm of challenges that threaten to derail its progress and unity. A recent decision by Kenya's Supreme Court has dealt a significant blow to the authority of the regional court, the East African Court of Justice (EACJ), while a crippling financial crisis, fueled by member states' failure to pay their dues, is pushing the EAC to the brink.
Kenya's Supreme Court Flexes Its Muscles:
In a landmark ruling, Kenya's Supreme Court asserted its national sovereignty, declaring that the EACJ cannot overrule its decisions. This move effectively limits the regional court's influence in Kenya and sets a potentially dangerous precedent for other member states to follow. The EACJ, once envisioned as a supranational judicial body capable of holding member states accountable, now finds its jurisdiction curtailed and its authority undermined.
The Money Troubles: A Crisis of Confidence
The EAC's financial woes are equally alarming. With most member states failing to meet their financial obligations, the organization is struggling to keep the lights on, let alone pursue ambitious regional projects. Only Kenya and Tanzania have fulfilled their commitments, leaving the EAC scrambling for funds to maintain its operations and credibility.
A Bleak Outlook for East African Unity.
These twin crises have cast a dark cloud over the EAC's future. The weakened regional court and the financial instability threaten to unravel the fabric of East African unity. Without a strong judicial mechanism to resolve disputes and a reliable source of funding to support regional initiatives, the EAC risks becoming a toothless tiger, unable to fulfill its mandate of promoting integration and development in the region.
Perhaps the EAC is breathing its last? Let's wait and see.

This might be a weird question to ask on reddit but it's worth giving a shot. My dad has a business in advertising we deal in signboards, printing, embroidery almost in it for 23 years. The business is doing okay to good. However a month or 3 in a year go a bit low (seasonal). My Dad handles it alone with a 6 monthly workers and 3 to 4 daily wage workers. The office has all the machinery a large advertising company can have with a employees having an experience in that field from 10 to 25 years. As the son i wanna help as his work is not digital and he gets work through word of mouth in conclusion old fashied business approach and slowly i have this fear we as a business will be left out as other competitors approach in a more corprate way. And were like a factory. So how can i take this business also in the same direction and get bigger orders from more people how do you approach bigger companies here or get government orders( we get them and we do most of it but they come through the middle men and the corprate companies) should i visit a business consultant in dar or? How can we take it to a bigger scale? What paper work do we need?
I want to import a car from UK, lakini ushuru naona iko juu sanaa. Jamaani, kuna advice yoyote mnaweza kunipa ili malipo ya punguwe kidogo. Watu wanatumiya njia gani kutembelea na gari hapa Dar.
I (18F) will be going on a study abroad to Tanzania from July 8th - August 8th. We were told to bring some formal attire and I was wondering what type(s) of dresses are most appropriate for Tanzanian culture? Either links to the dresses or general images would be very helpful. Additionally, are there certain dress colors that I should avoid that may come off as offensive? Thanks so much!
Hello everyone, we are 3 people and one toddler wanting to come to Tanzania at the last week of august. I really want to experience the wildlife/safari. I will also be pregnant in my second trimester. Also Zanzibar beaches attract me lol. All the online safaris that I see quote like $2000 per person which is crazy expensive. Which is the most reliable/affordable yet amazing place I can book from? I have this vision in mind of those places where you live inside the parks and wake up to the animals around 🙈 is it doable in a budget of $1000 per person? Any help would be highly appreciated
Has anyone ever used them?! What's your experience? Are these scooters reliable?
Hello all,
I’ve been traveling through Africa for some time now, specifically, Ghana and Ethiopia. I was vaccinated with Yellow Fever in the US but while going through security in the Addis Ababa airport I somehow lost my Yellow Card. I need to fly to Zanzibar in a few days and then to Kenya a week after. I have a photocopy and a digital scan of the Yellow Card, but I have been looking around the internet and it seems I am pretty much completely screwed. What are my options? Can I get the vaccine at the airport in Zanzibar? What in the hell do I do now.
Hello,
I am from DAR and on vacation in Bagamoyo. What are the best Restaurants in Bagamoyo. So far I can recommend Pizza fresh. Best Pizza I ever had. Poa Poa is not so good at all. I would be interested in Seafood and fish.
Thanks.

Hi everyone,
For context: I am from the UK holding a British passport
It will be my first time going to Tanzania (then Zanizibar) soon, however, I have had an issue regarding the e-visa service for Tanzania.
I applied for a visa online and I made a payment, however, whenever I go into my application it still asks for payment, note that the money has been taken out.
I went to the embassy in London, they said that this is a common issue and that all I need to do is show them the order number, proof of payment and application status at the airport to be provided with a visa.
I am pretty stressed out about whether I'll be allowed entry, I was wondering if this is the norm, and any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you advance!
I'm curious about your small business and income. Can you tell me how much you earn each year, what you do at work each day and what is your business about ?
I saw some pretty harsh reviews of it here on reddit, then online I see a large mix of "great food 10/10"' comments but the bad ones seem so deep that I wonder how a good restaurant can make someone leave such a terrible review.
So once and for all for all those with a story to tell of CTFM.... let's hear it. What do you have to say about this place, is it worth it? Is it racist? Do they serve tasteless spoiled food?
I was 18 when i got my first pay check..I straightaway gave it to my parents for no apparent reason.
Are there places to get adult toys in dar? Asking for a friend xD
Will probably head to Dar in a month, I'm in need of ear plugs and ear muffs for noise reduction. Are they sold in supermarkets or malls? That'll be convenient for me.
Where are they sold?
I have been together with my girlfriend for 5 years, since college. I am looking for a romantic restaurant to celebrate her birthday. Can you recommend me nice places, I may or may not be on a budget 😅😅😅
I’m an American looking to bring in an Avata 2 Drone. I have read some posts about being able to dismantle their drones and be good, but this drone is not a DIY drone that I can dismantle and have it look like random electronics rather than a drone.
The housing cannot be taken apart, only the propellers.
This brings me to my question: how stingy are the customs officers with drones? I have read posts about bribery, and being an Indian, I am used to it when traveling to India. Is it worth bringing the drone in and potentially bribing an officer? What would a typical bribe for something like this be?
I am 95% going to leave the drone here as we are going to both Tanzania and Kenya, two countries with very rough drone laws. Kenya is 200+ USD to get a license, which I don’t mind but trip is next week and I’m just learning about all this now so not enough time to get the appropriate approvals.
Hey everyone, I've been trying to figure out how to book this train journey from Dar to Zambia, but couldn't find anything. I've emailed and tried WhatsApping all the numbers on the website, but with no response. I saw that it started running again this week so I'm hoping to take the Friday departure. Does anyone have any experience with booking this? I would go to the station but currently can't as I won't be in Dar until tomorrow evening. Asante in advance!
Hi I’m flying from Mwanza to Zanzibar this fall and I see that both Air Tanzania and Precision Air have bad schedules. However a mix of both would be much better. This would imply a 1hr 50 min. connecting time in Dar. Do you think it’s a realistic time to get our bags back from Precision and recheck with Air Tanzania? I was there over 20 years ago and don’t know how big and (in)efficient the domestic terminal became since then! Thanks.
We have applied for a marriage certificate for our wedding in Germany. Now we have to pay the fees.
