Tanzanija - Tanzania

Tanzanija je največja država v Vzhodna Afrika.

Sodobna Tanzanija združuje dve področji, ki sta bili včasih urejeni ločeno: Tanganyika na obali afriške celine in otoka Zanzibar v bližini.

Zgodovina

Tanzanija je verjetno eno najstarejših znanih nenehno naseljenih območij na Zemlji; Najdeni so bili fosilni ostanki ljudi in predčloveški hominidi, stari že dva milijona let. V zadnjem času naj bi Tanzanijo poseljevale skupnosti lovcev in nabiralcev, verjetno ljudje, ki govorijo kušitsko in kojsansko. Pred približno 2000 leti so iz zahodne Afrike v nizu migracij začeli prihajati ljudje, ki govorijo bantu. Kasneje so prišli nilotski pastirji in se še naprej priseljevali na to območje do 18. stoletja.

Popotniki in trgovci iz Ljubljane perzijski zaliv in Zahodna Indija so obiskali vzhodnoafriško obalo že v začetku prvega tisočletja našega štetja. Islam se je izvajal v Ljubljani Obala svahilija že v osmem ali devetem stoletju n. Swahili Coast je sčasoma narasla tako, da je zajela več bogatih mestnih držav, ki so vključevale Zanzibar in Kilwa Kisiwani. Zanzibar je postal glavno središče arabske trgovine s sužnji, nekdanji trg sužnjev v njegovem glavnem mestu Stone Town je zdaj preurejen v turistično znamenitost, ki spominja na suženjstvo, in na mestu nekdanjega bičanja zgrajena anglikanska katedrala objava.

Konec 19. stoletja je cesarska Nemčija osvojila regije, ki so danes Tanzanija (minus Zanzibar), Ruanda in Burundi, in jih vključila v Nemška vzhodna Afrika. Sporazumi po prvi svetovni vojni in listina Lige narodov so območje označili za britanski mandat, razen majhnega območja na severozahodu, ki je bilo odstopljeno Belgiji in kasneje postalo Ruanda in Burundi).

Britanska vladavina se je končala leta 1961 po razmeroma mirnem (v primerjavi s sosednjo Kenijo, na primer) prehodu na neodvisnost. Leta 1954 je Julius Nyerere preoblikoval organizacijo v politično usmerjeno afriško nacionalno zvezo Tanganyika (TANU). Nyerere je postal minister za britansko administracijo Tanganyika leta 1960 in nadaljeval kot predsednik vlade, ko se je Tanganyika osamosvojila leta 1961. Po revoluciji Zanzibarja je v sosednjih državah strmoglavila arabsko dinastijo Zanzibar, ki se je leta 1963 osamosvojil, se je otok 26. aprila 1964 združil s celinsko Tanganjiko in oblikoval državo Tanzanijo.

Od konca sedemdesetih let se je gospodarstvo Tanzanije poslabšalo. Tanzanija se je prav tako pridružila Kitajski in iskala kitajsko pomoč. Kitajci so jih hitro izpolnili, vendar pod pogojem, da vse projekte zaključi uvožena kitajska delovna sila. Od sredine osemdesetih let se je režim financiral z zadolževanjem pri Mednarodnem denarnem skladu in opravil nekatere reforme. Od sredine osemdesetih let je BDP na prebivalca Tanzanije naraščal in revščina se je zmanjšala.

Geografija

Velika osrednja planota tvori večino celine, na razdalji med 900 in 1800 m. Gorske verige Vzhodnega loka ter južnega in severnega višavja so se prečkale po državi in ​​so del doline Velikega razcepa.

Tanzanija, dežela geografskih skrajnosti, ima najvišji vrh (goro Kilimandžaro), najnižjo točko (strugo jezera Tanganjika) in del največjega jezera (jezero Viktorija, Ugando in Kenija) na afriški celini.

Podnebje

Vreme Tanzanije se razlikuje od vlažnega in vročega na nizkih legah, kot je Dar es Salaam, do vročega podnevi in ​​hladnega ponoči v Aruši. Ni zaznavnih letnih časov, kot sta zima in poletje - samo suha in mokra sezona. Tanzanija ima dve deževni sezoni: kratki dež od konca oktobra do konca decembra, tudi Mango, in dolg dež od marca do maja.

Številna priljubljena letovišča in turistične znamenitosti na Zanzibarju in Morski park Mafia Island blizu sezone dolgih dežev in v tem obdobju so številne poti v narodnih parkih neprehodne. Zaradi tega so v večini primerov ogledi omejeni na glavne ceste v parkih. Potniki naj svoje potovanje načrtujejo v skladu s tem.

V sušnem obdobju se temperature v Dar es Salaamu zlahka povzpnejo nad 35 ° C. Zaščitite se pred soncem med opoldansko vročino in uporabite veliko količino kreme za zaščito pred soncem, SPF 30.

Najboljši čas za obisk so:

• Od junija do avgusta: To je zaključek dolge deževne sezone in vreme je v tem letnem času najboljše - podnevi znosno, zvečer pa hladno. Vendar to ni nujno najboljši letni čas za safarije, saj je vode v parkih veliko in živali se na nekaj lokacijah ne prisilijo, da se rehidrirajo, kot se to zgodi sredi sušnega obdobja takoj po božiču.
• Od januarja do februarja: To je najboljši čas za obisk Serengetija. Običajno se v tem času ogromne črede gnujev, zeber in bivolov selijo na boljša pašna območja. V tem obdobju ste lahko opazovali nekaj od 1,5 milijona gnujev, ki naseljujejo Serengeti, na svojem epskem potovanju. To je najverjetneje najbolj vroč letni čas v Tanzaniji, ko se celo domačini pritožujejo nad vročino. Opozorili ste!

Ljudje

Tanzanijci tvorijo več kot 120 etničnih skupin. Poleg domačih Afričanov obstaja tudi pomembna indijska skupnost, ki izvira iz priseljencev iz kolonialne dobe.

Vstopi

Visa

Za bivanja, krajša od 3 mesecev, državljani EU ne potrebujejo vizuma Namibijo, Romunija, Ruanda, Hong Kong, Macau, Malezija in vse države članice Commonwealtha (razen Združeno kraljestvo, Kanada, Bangladeš, Nova Zelandija, Nigerija, Indija & Južna Afrika). Turistični vizum stane 50 ali 100 ameriških dolarjev za trimesečni enkratni vstop in za trimesečni vizum za dvojni vstop. Za vizum je mogoče zaprositi prek spleta prek vladni elektronski sistem za izdajo vizuma in pridobljen tudi ob pristanku v Dar es Salaamu, Kilimandžaro, Mwanzi in drugih vstopnih pristaniščih. Čakanje na vizume ob prihodu je lahko še posebej dolgo, če let prispe hkrati z drugimi mednarodnimi leti. Vizumi veljajo od datuma izdaje. Imetniki ameriškega potnega lista lahko dobijo vizum za večkratni vstop v višini 100 ameriških dolarjev, veljaven 12 mesecev.

Tanzanija ima dodatne zahteve za vsakogar, ki ne obiskuje turističnih namenov. Za kakršen koli poslovni obisk je potreben poseben poslovni vizum, ki stane 250 ameriških dolarjev in se zanj lahko zaprosi tudi prek elektronskega sistema vizumov.

Ko prečkate zemljo na mejnem prehodu Namanga (npr. Potujete iz Nairobija v Keniji do Arushe v Tanzaniji), boste morali mejo prečkati peš. Prevaranti na nikogaršnji deželi med mejnimi nadzornimi uradi Kenije in Tanzanije bodo poskusili z več prevarami, med drugim ponudili nesramno slabe devizne tečaje in se pretvarjali, da so uradniki, ki prodajajo vizumske znamke Tanzanije. Tisti, ki poskušajo prodati žige za vizum za Tanzanijo, bodo ravnali uradno in prosili za vpogled v vaš potni list, nato pa bodo v vaš potni list postavili predmet (majhen tanzanijski bankovec), zaprli potni list in zahtevali pristojbino za vizum ob prihodu. Poslujte samo z uradi za priseljevanje in sosednjimi bankami, ki se nahajajo v uveljavljenih vladnih stavbah. Vmes se ne ustavljajte in ne komunicirajte z ljudmi na nikogaršnji deželi.

Podaljšanje vizumske obveznosti

Če imate turistični vizum, lahko traja vizum za en mesec brez doplačila v uradu za priseljevanje Tanzanije v Dar es Salaamu.

Z letalom

Obstajata dve glavni letališči; ena v Dar es Salaamu, Mednarodno letališče Julius Nyerere (DAR ^IATA) (prej znano kot mednarodno letališče Mwalimu Julius K. Nyerere in mednarodno letališče Dar es Salaam) in eno v Kilimandžaro, Mednarodno letališče Kilimanjaro (JRO ^IATA), ki je na polovici poti Arusha in Moshi.

Domači leti pogosto zamujajo, vendar so na splošno zanesljivi.

Z vlakom

Železniški prevoz Tanzanija - Zambija, znan kot TAZARA, vozi vlake dvakrat na teden med Nov Kapiri Mposhi, Zambija in Dar es Salaam, odhod iz Dar es Salaama ob torkih in petkih.

Domači Tanzanijske železnice omrežje povezuje večja mesta Tanzanije, vključno z Kigoma, Mwanza, Dodoma, Taborain Dar es Salaam. Domači vlaki so običajno zanesljivi, cene vozovnic pa dostopne. Cene vozovnic pa se razlikujejo glede na "razred", običajno prvi, drugi in tretji. Prvi in ​​drugi razred ponujata kabine z dvema oziroma šestimi ležišči. Tretji razred je prosto sedenje. Topli obroki in pijače so običajno na voljo v avtu. Ni neobičajno, da vlakovna kuhinja na številnih postajališčih na poti kupi sveže pridelke. Sadje in prigrizke lahko kupite tudi neposredno pri lokalnih prodajalcih, ki obiskujejo številne železniške postaje na vsaki od številnih vlakovnih poti v Tanzaniji.

Z avtobusom

Avtobus je odličen način za vstop v Tanzanijo. Poletite do mesta, kot je Nairobi, nato pa lahko ujamete avtobus do Arushe - odlična baza za Gora Meru in krater Ngorongoro. Ne pozabite tudi na južni osrednji del Tanzanije, stran od turističnih kramarjev. Ceste v Tanzaniji niso v dobrem stanju; avtocest ni, odsekov več pasov ob glavnih cestah pa je zelo malo. Avtobusi se v večini vasi upočasnijo ali ustavijo zaradi prometa, policije in orodij za umirjanje hitrosti. Za referenco pot od Dar es Salaama do Iringe traja vsaj 6 ur v zasebnem vozilu. V glavnem gre za dvopasovnico, ki so jo obnovili Kitajci, zato je večinoma v dobrem stanju.

Avtobusi proti zahodu in severu, ki odhajajo iz mesta Dar, vozijo po isti cesti (A7), dokler ne pridete do mesta Chalinze, ki je približno na polovici poti, manj kot dve uri, med Darom in Morogoro.

Če greste do Arushe, bo avtobus zavil proti A17 proti severu. Druge pomembne destinacije na tej poti so Nacionalni park Saandani, Pangani, Tanga, Lushoto, Kilimandžaro in Moshi. Iz Arushe se lahko z avtobusom odpeljete tudi do Mwanze in Kigome, a ko ste mimo zavarovanega območja Ngorongoro, so ceste v izredno slabem stanju in vas čaka nerodna vožnja.

Če nadaljujete pot mimo Chalinze, boste mimo Morogoro (tudi odcepa za Dodomo), vstopne točke v rezervat divjadi Selous, narodnega parka Mikumi, starih glavnih vrat v parke gorovja Udzungwa in Iringe, ki je na vrsti odpeljemo do narodnega parka Ruaha.

Iringa je kraj za raziskovanje južnega kroga, z novim kampom pri vratih Msosa do Uduzungwas (stran parka Iringa) in vhodom v Ruaho (verjetno najboljši park Tanzanije). To je odličen kraj za bivanje nekaj dni.

Po Iringi boste šli bodisi na zahod, do Mbeje ali na jug, do Songee. Če se želite odpraviti na jezero Tanganyika, vstopiti v Malavi ali pa proti severu do Kigome, se odpravite do Mbeje. Severno od Mbeje ceste niso zaprte, zato bo to dolgo in zelo neprijetno potovanje. Če si želite ogledati jezero Nyasa (aka Malavijsko jezero), se z avtobusom odpeljite do Songee. Čeprav ste v neposredni bližini Mozambika, v Mozambik ni uradnih vstopnih točk.

Končno, če se odpravite južno od Dara, potem zavijete na B2. To je glavna pot do reke Selous in reke Rufiji. Med potjo se lahko ustavite tudi v Kilwi, Lindiju in na koncu še v Mtwari. Cesta ni zapečatena do konca, zato spet vzemite blazino.

Zunaj cest, ki povezujejo Nairobi, Arusho in Dar es Salaam, so ceste med drugimi mesti in vasmi v zelo slabem stanju, čeprav se počasi izboljšujejo. Na primer, potovanje od Arushe do Dodome je počasno. Lahko se hitreje vrnete v Chalinze in nato vkrcate na avtobus do Dodome. To v veliki meri velja za vsako potovanje med mesti, ki niso ob cesti proti Daru.

Obmejno mesto Namanga je grozniška postojanka, ki predstavlja velik del Afrike. Avtobus tukaj celo čaka, da prečkate mejo. Lahko celo izstopite na kenijski strani, se sprehodite čez mejo in spet vstopite na avtobus na tanzanijski strani.

Iz Dar z avtobusom je mogoče potovati tudi do Malavija, Ugande in Ruande.

Koristne informacije o avtobusni postaji Dar es Salaam ("Ubungo") in nekaterih posebnih avtobusnih linijah najdete v Dar es Salaam Članek.

Obiščite ustrezen prodajni center za nakup vstopnic, zlasti v večjih mestih. Pokažite se tudi na ustreznem prodajnem pultu že pred načrtovanim odhodom avtobusa, da boste prepričani, da ste usmerjeni do pravega avtobusa in prijavite prtljago pri dejanskem vozniku avtobusa. Na avtobusnem terminalu v Arushi obstaja prevara, kjer bodo ljudje poskušali lažno predstavljati prodajalce avtobusnih vozovnic in avtobuse.

Obiti

Z avtobusom in minibusom

Avtobus je najpogostejši način potovanja po Tanzaniji. Večina avtobusov je preproste zasnove in ceste so slabe, čeprav so na relaciji Dar-Moshi-Arusha (Dar Express - blagajna v Libijski ulici v središču mesta ali pisarna št. 45 v Ubungu) na voljo avtobusi prvega razreda s klimatsko napravo. Skoraj vsi avtobusi gredo v Dar es Salaam in iz njega. Glavna avtobusna postaja v mestu Dar (kamor vozijo vsi avtobusi), Ubungo, je 8 km zahodno od središča mesta. Številni boljši "medkrajevni avtobusi" vam nudijo brezplačne pijače in piškote.

V Daru lahko do večine krajev mesta poceni peljete z minibusi Dala-Dalas. Cena je napisana na sprednji strani ob vratih - običajno je TSh 250 za odrasle (2011), razen za večje razdalje. Pot avtobusa je označena tudi na sprednji in bočni strani avtobusa, npr. 'Posta-Mwenge' in obstaja sistem barvnega kodiranja. Posta (zunaj osrednje pošte na ulici Azikiwe / Maktaba) je glavno središče mesta daladala. Drugi so Kariakoo, Mwenge, Buguruni in Ubungo. Skočite na daladalo, sedite, če je, in plačajte dirigentu ('konda'), ko vam smiselno strese svoj kup kovancev. Konda zakriči imena postajališč - če ne veste, kje ste, ali ne poznate imena ciljne postaje, bo težko vedeti, kje bi izstopili. Če je mogoče, je vredno vprašati koga na vašem cilju, saj postajališča včasih sploh nimajo nobenih znakov - ljudje "samo vedo", da so določeni vogali postajališče daladala in imena niso očitna (npr. "Sudani" na Masaki-Posta črta - v bližini rezidence sudanskega veleposlanika na Toure Drive). Ko zaslišite ali vidite svoj postanek in želite izstopiti, zakričite 'Shusha!' (izpustite me), bo konda dvakrat potrkal na podvozje, voznik pa bo takoj zavil vstran in se ustavil. Daladale ne tečejo zelo pozno; na vzhodni strani mesta sta zadnji poti Msasani in Mwenge.

Obstajajo tudi trikolesni tuktuki / otroški taksiji / CNG / bajaji, ki se približujejo. So cenejši od taksija in lahko prevozijo prometne zastoje. Verjetno ni najbolj varna možnost. Za vozovnico se lahko dogovorite vnaprej, včasih pa voznik ne pozna vašega cilja (ni nobenega "znanja" Dar es Salaama) in ne bo vedel, koliko naj zaračuna. Vozniki praviloma na destinaciji navajajo precej poštene cene (morda z razumnim "davkom na kožo" za belce) in če vas poskušajo odtrgati, lahko ponavadi ugotovijo leerji. Morda bi bilo priročno vedeti "desno" in "levo" v svahiliju: kulia (prav), kushoto (levo), moja kwa moja (naravnost), simama (stop), asante kaka (Hvala brat).

Zasebno taksiji so tudi priročna izbira, vendar se pred uporabo dogovorite za ceno. Sopotniki bodo morda lahko svetovali glede primerne cene vozovnice. Nekateri kraji (npr. Letališče Dar es Salaam) imajo močan taksi kartel in objavljajo fiksne cene.

Z letalom

Če si lahko privoščite, je letenje po Tanzaniji hitrejše in varnejše. Glej Tanzanija # By_plane zgoraj. Tudi najbolj prometne ceste so v slabem stanju, vozniki avtobusov pa niso znani po potrpljenju ali odličnih vozniških sposobnostih. Cestne nesreče v Tanzaniji zahtevajo več življenj kot kateri koli drug vzrok smrti.

Z avtom

Opozorilo: V Tanzaniji ali po večini Afrike ni priporočljivo voziti, razen če že imate vozne razmere v državah v razvoju. Kljub temu je tukaj nekaj koristnih informacij za tiste, ki razmišljajo, da bi se lotili izziva.

Vozite po levi strani ceste

• Tanzanijci vozijo po levi (na primer v Veliki Britaniji, Indiji, Avstraliji, na Japonskem in v drugih državah), v nasprotju z vožnjo po desni, kot v Severni Ameriki in večini evropskih držav. Izkušeni vozniki iz držav z desnim volanom bodo potrebovali približno pol dneva vožnje, preden se bodo prilagodili spremembi. Čeprav so prestavne ročice, brisalci vetrobranskega stekla in aktivatorji smernikov obrnjeni, na srečo stopalke niso. Samo sledite prometu. Vendar bi morali biti tudi pri nekaterih vajah vedno pozorni, saj bi se zlahka znašli dezorientirani, zaradi česar bi lahko tvegali čelni trk ali trčenje pešca, če ste vajeni vožnje po nasprotni strani ceste. cesta.

Izbira vozila

• Če najamete avto, ko pridete sem, je vaša najboljša možnost 4x4 športno terensko vozilo z dobro zračnostjo, še posebej, če nameravate na safari v katerem od nacionalnih parkov. Poiščite vozila Land Cruiser, Hilux Surf (4Runner) in Range Rover. Izogibajte se mini terencem, kot sta Toyota RAV4 in Honda CRV, saj se v večini tanzanijskih narodnih parkov ne morejo vedno pogajati o slabih cestnih razmerah. Drugo vprašanje so možnosti štirikolesnega pogona. Vozila z vedno vklopljenim 4x4 niso najboljša izbira za terensko vožnjo. Ta vozila so bila zasnovana za vožnjo po snegu po tlakovanih cestah ali skozi majhne luknje v blatu. Kar naletite v narodnih parkih v Tanzaniji, je povsem drugačno in zahteva primerno vozilo s 4 kolesi, ki lahko prevozi velike blatne luknje in peščene ceste. Tudi takrat se lahko še vedno zataknete.

Navigacija

• Zemljevidi Nellesa Tanzanija, Ruanda in Burundi je najboljši zemljevid. Vzeli so si čas in poiskali najmanjše vasi ob poteh, kar je super za navigacijo po krajih, kjer so znamenitosti redke.
• Ob glavnih cestah so oznake in bele betonske tablete. Določijo naslednje večje mesto ali kraj na poti in koliko kilometrov ostane.

Vožnja po mestu

• To velja samo za Dar es Salaam, saj so vsa druga mesta razmeroma majhna in jih je enostavno obiskati. Središče mesta je od ponedeljka do petka izjemno preobremenjeno. Semaforjev je malo, ulice pa so zelo ozke. To je kraj za pse, ki jih jedo, zato so žaljive vozne spretnosti nujne, saj vas nihče ne bo pustil mimo, če boste samo sedeli in čakali na znakih postankov. Ulice so polne parkiranih in premikajočih se avtomobilov, terencev, tovornjakov, skuterjev in zelo mišičastih moških, ki vlečejo noro preobremenjene vozičke. Ljudje lahko preživijo ure, zataknjeni v zastojih, zlasti okoli tržnice Kariakoo.
• V središču mesta je nekaj krožišč, ki jih domačini imenujejo "keeplefties", ker so menili, da je napis, ki voznikom svetuje, naj "ostanejo levi", ko vstopajo v krožišča, imenoval ta fascinantni izum Mzungu. Mzungu je svahili beseda za "bele" tujce. To ni omalovažujoče in bolj kot da belca imenujemo kavkaški.
• Ko parkirate na ulici v Daru, poiščite mesto za parkiranje, nato zaklenite vrata in pojdite. Ko se vrnete, se bo za plačilo obrnil na vas parkirišče v rumenem fluorescentnem jopiču. Pristojbina znaša 300 Tsh za dve uri. Spremljevalec vam mora izročiti vozovnico, sicer bo označeno že na vašem vetrobranskem steklu. Ne zapustite brez plačila, če je na vašem vetrobranskem steklu vstopnica. Spremljevalec bo najverjetneje prisiljen nadoknaditi manjkajoči denar, saj verjetno v najboljšem primeru zasluži Tsh 3000 na dan.
• Avtokrade niso redke, odpiranje vrat ali skakanje skozi odprta okna za krajo dragocenosti pa ni. Okna naj bodo zaprta, vrata pa zaklenjena. Ko se vozila ustavijo na semaforjih ali parkirajo na nenadzorovanih lokacijah, je bilo znano, da tatovi kradejo ogledala, obloge, rezervne pnevmatike in vse, kar ni vgravirano s številko registrske tablice ali pritrjeno na ohišje vozila. Pazljivo izberite mesta za parkiranje in ne puščajte dragocenosti na očeh. Parkirnemu osebju lahko ponudite majhno napotnico za ogled vašega vozila, Tsh 500-1000, ali pa poiščete varovano parkirišče, še posebej, če vozilo zapustite čez noč.

Poti

• Dve glavni cesti sta Dar es Salaam do Mbeje cesti (A7 / A17), ki vas pripelje do ceste Južno višavje skozi mesta Morogoro, Iringa, in Narodni park Mikumiin v bližini narodnih parkov Selous in Ruhaha. Druga cesta je Dar Aruši in Serengetiju cesti (B1), ki vas pripelje do ceste Severni krog po mestih Tanga in Moshi, in Gora Kilimandžaro, Narodni parki Saadani, Tanrangire, Ngorongoro in Serengeti.

Nevarnosti in sitnosti

• Tanzanijci vozijo zelo hitro in ne bodo oklevali pri prehitevanju v slepi krivulji. Prav tako je večina gospodarskih vozil slabo vzdrževana in preobremenjena, veliko pa jih bo razbitih vzdolž glavnih avtocest. nikoli predpostavimo, da zavore delujejo ali da so vozniki v celoti premislili o nevarnem manevru, ki ga izvajajo.
• Večina cest v Tanzaniji je slabo vzdrževana in zasuta z luknjami in nevarnimi utori, ki jih tvorijo preobremenjena transportna vozila. Vse glavne ceste prečkajo mesta in vasi, pogosto pa tudi orodja za umirjanje prometa (tudi hitrost ali cestne grbine) zagotavljajo, da vozila med vožnjo zmanjšajo svojo hitrost. Na žalost je malo ljudi jasno označenih, medtem ko je večino težko videti, dokler ne prideš ravno prednje, in če prideš prehitro, te lahko vrže s ceste. Upočasni ob vstopu v katero koli mesto ali pa se tem in drugim nevarnostim morda ne boste mogli izogniti. Ta odnos do obrambne vožnje je preudaren tudi zato, ker se živali in otroci pogosto odpeljejo na cesto.
• Če ste udeleženi v nesreči s pešcem, se odpeljite do najbližje policijske postaje, da jim to svetujete. ne zapustite vozilo in poskušajte razrešiti situacijo, tudi če ste prepričani, da niste krivi vi. Tanzanijci so nekateri najlepši ljudje, ki jih boste kdaj srečali v Afriki, vendar je znano, da vzamejo stvari v svoje roke. To je v veliki meri posledica njihovega nezaupanja v policijo in prepričanja, da kdor ima denar, npr. bogati tujci, se lahko rešijo problema.
• Če naletite na kolono vladnih vozil, se umaknite s poti. Imajo prednost, čeprav je o tem sporno in vas ne bodo oklevali, če vas ne umaknejo s ceste. Policija bi vas lahko kaznovala tudi z globo, ker niste popustili.

V Tanzaniji lahko registracijo vozila določite glede na barve registrske tablice. Rumena tablice, začenši s "T", ki jim sledijo tri številke, so vozila v zasebni lasti. Uradne tanzanijske vladne tablice so prav tako rumene, vendar so na njih samo črke in se običajno začnejo s "S" (manj kot je črk, višje v prehranjevalni verigi je lastnik). Zelena tablice so diplomatske; rdeča so mednarodne razvojne agencije; Modra so OZN in podobne organizacije; Bela so taksiji, avtobusi in gospodarska (safari) vozila in Črna sta vojska in policija. To kodiranje ne velja v Zanzibarju in Pembi.

Prenos bontona

• Vozniki, ki sledijo vam, bodo aktivirali svoje prav smernik, ki označuje, da vas želijo mimo. Če je cesta prosta, aktivirajte svoj levo smerniki; v nasprotnem primeru aktivirajte prav smerniki. Poiščite to, ko poskušate mimo.

Kaj prinesti

• Velika posoda (20 litrov) z gorivom v sili. (V narodni park ne vstopite brez polnega rezervoarja bencina.)
• Lopata, mačeta ("panga" v svahiliju) in vlečna vrv.
• Dobri cestni zemljevidi
• Prva pomoč
• Pitna voda, najmanj 5 litrov, in neprekinjene zaloge hrane v sili.

Najem avtomobila - najem avtomobila za zasebno uporabo.

Najem avtomobila v Tanzaniji je cenovno ugoden in za najem je na voljo veliko zanesljivih 4WD džipov, kot so Landcruisers in Landrovers. 4WD avtomobili so udobni in lahko prenesejo vse vremenske razmere v Tanzaniji. Če želite udobno potovati kjer koli v Tanzaniji, ki je podeželsko območje ali nacionalni park, izberite zasebno potovanje v Landcruiserju ali Landroverju.

Obstaja več lokalnih organizatorjev potovanj (npr [1]), ki imajo vozni park za najem na večjih letališčih, kot so letališče Dar es Salaam Julius Nyerere, mednarodno letališče Kilimanjaro, večja mesta in vsa mesta, ki so obrobna do turističnih destinacij, kot so Moshi, Mwanza, Arusha in Karatu v okolici Ngorongoro.

Glej

Tanzanija ima več nacionalnih parkov in rezervata za divjad, kjer si lahko ogledate nekaj najboljših Afriška flora in favna. Safariji v Tanzaniji lahko razvrstimo v dve kategoriji, severni krog (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara in Tarangire) in južni krog (Selous, Mikumi in Ruaha). To je poenostavitev in ne vključuje drugih zanimivih, a težje dostopnih parkov, kot sta Katavi in ​​Gombe, če omenimo le dva. Za turiste sta prvi dve skupini bolj dostopni, saj različne turistične ponudbe ponuja več paketov.

Cene Safarija

Stroški safarija lahko segajo od osnov (šotori za letenje, samooskrba in vodniki z vozili) do manjših parkov, kot sta Manyara in Tarangire, do luksuznih koč in šotorišč v Serengetiju, ki lahko stanejo od 250 do 1.500 ameriških dolarjev. na osebo na noč. Lahko uporabite svoje vozilo, pod pogojem, da gre za 4x4 z zadostno zračnostjo. Korist je najeti vodnika in vozilo, saj so safari vozila opremljena z odprtimi strehami, ki zagotavljajo veliko boljše izhodišče za ogled živali. Prav tako bodo mnogi parkirali, da pred vstopom v park najamete certificiranega vodnika, tudi če uporabljate svoje vozilo. Vodniki lahko stanejo približno 35 USD na dan in nasvet. Vodnike je dobro imeti, saj poznajo park in vam lahko pomagajo najti nekatere bolj iskane živali, kot so levi, leopardi, nosorogi, gepardi in hijene.

Nekatera bolj priljubljena safari podjetja so Warrior Trails, Ranger tours in Leopard tours. Druga priljubljena podjetja, ki jih ocenjuje Tanzanijsko združenje organizatorjev potovanj, so Ajabu Adventures, Bush2Beach Safaris, Bushmen Expeditions, Fay Safaris in Tanzania Tour Company. Serena in Sopa sta priljubljeni prenočišči in imata objekte po celotnem severnem krogu. Vendar ne popuščajte pri manjših ogledih in manj znanih nastanitvenih objektih, ki so prav tako dobri, če ne celo boljši od večjih izletov in koč.

Za boljše cene in nekaj najlepših parkov, ki se izogibajo prometnim zastojem safari vozil, se odpravite proti južnemu krogu, zlasti narodnemu parku Ruaha, kjer je obseg prosto živečih živali veliko večji in pokrajina spektakularna. Iringa je odličen kraj za raziskovanje tega območja in urejanje safari potovanj.

Za katero koli od naslednjih tur, ki iščejo po spletu, boste našli ugledna podjetja, kot so Worldlink Travel in tours, ki imajo ugodne cene in omogočajo potovanje prijetno in brez stresa.

Ogled divjih živali

• Serengeti nacionalni park, ki so ga zasloveli številni posebni kanali Discovery Channel, gosti široko paleto prosto živečih živali, vključno z levi, gepardi, leopardi, povodnimi konji, sloni, zebrami, bivoli, vodnjaki, krokodili, gazelami, bradavicami in gnuji. Ena glavnih zanimivosti je selitev gnujev, ki se nenehno pojavlja med Serengetijem in Masai Maro (Kenija). Potrebno je vodilo s štirikolesnim pogonom. Če je migracija vaš glavni namen za obisk Serengetija, o tem obvestite svoje turistično podjetje, saj bo to morda zahtevalo potovanje precej dlje in bi lahko bilo dražje.
• Ngorongoro Varstveno območje gosti tudi obilo divjih živali, zlasti v kraterju Ngorongoro. Ngorongoro, ki ga tvori ista vulkanska dejavnost, ki je ustvarila Kilimandžaro in dolino Velikega razcepa, sestavljajo visokogorje okoli kraterja (bogato s sloni) in sam krater (podobne živali kot Serengeti, vendar z večjo gostoto in z majhno populacijo črnega nosoroga ).
• Narodni park Ruaha in Rezervat divjadi Selous so veliko manj priljubljeni, a zelo prijetni. Divje živali boste našli veliko večje kot v Serengetiju, če iščete destinacijo z manj turisti, ki so ti parki za vas. Ruaha je znana po tem, da ima največ populacije slonov in žiraf v katerem koli afriškem parku in se pogosto imenuje "Park žirafik", prav tako pa je dobro mesto za ogled velikih ponosa levov in izmuzljivih in redkih lovskih psov. Selous je poleg Ngorongoro edino drugo mesto, kjer boste morda videli nosoroga. Obiščete lahko tudi park Uduzungwa Mountains za resnično divji pohod po neokrnjeni in spektakularni pokrajini. Na svetu je le malo takšnih krajev, kot je ta. Z novimi vrati, odprtimi na Iringa stran parka z odličnim kampiranjem je odličen dodatek k vsakemu obisku Tanzanije.
• Narodni park Tarangire is in the northern circuit of Tanzania and was named after the Tarangire river flowing within the park. The park area is approximately 2,600 km². Similar to Serengeti, the park has a high concentrations of wildlife during the dry seasons. Also, over 570 bird species have been identified, and the place is surely a birdwatchers' paradise. Safari accommodation is available in quality safari lodges and campsites.

When visiting wildlife parks be sure to stay as close to the viewing areas (center of the parks) as possible and leave as soon as you can in the morning as animals are typically most active soon after sunrise.

Islands

• Zanzibar is an island off the coast of Tanzania and includes the island of Pemba. Zanzibar has beautiful beaches and a historical Stone Town. Zanzibar is great for scuba diving, snorkeling, and swimming with dolphins. Other attractions include spice tours and the Jozani Forest, which shelters a small population of red Colobus monkeys.
• Mafijski otok Marine Park is south of Zanzibar and boasts some fantastic scuba diving and snorkeling. You may also get to swim with whale sharks, as this is one of the few areas in the world where they congregate annually.
• Bongoyo Island is easy to get to with a boat from Slipway. It has a remarkable beach with excellent snorkeling in clear water, although you may be better off taking your own snorkels as renting is costly. The island is not tide dependent, therefore you can swim at any time. There is a resident price and a 'muzungu' price' but still quite reasonable.
• Sinda Island is a small uninhabited island of ínner sinder' and outer sinder'.
• Mbudya Island can be accessed from Silver Sands hotel. The water is amazing although it looks clear you cannot snorkel in it as it is surprisingly murky underneath the surface.
• Lazy Lagoon There are 12 rooms on the private 9 km-long white sandy island with deserted beaches. It boasts swimming at all tides in clear azure blue water, ideal for snorkelling to be mesmerized by the shoals of iridescent tropical fish hiding among the pristine coral gardens that protect the island. The island is accessed from the mainland, just south of Bagamoyo town 70 km north of Dar es Salaam. It is home to bushbabies, wild pigs, genets, baboons, duiker, and Suni antelope. The bandas were well appointed and have solar-powered hot water, a large shady verandah with spacious rooms and big windows.

Mountains

• Gora Kilimandžaro is the highest peak in Africa and one of the highest freestanding mountains in the world. Many people travel to Tanzania just to climb this mountain. Does tend to be crowded with tourists. You can either organize your trek up the mountain from your home country through a travel agency, but you'll pay a lot more for this convenience, or, if you've got a bit of time, hop on plane and save some money by organizing it in Arusha or in Dar. There are as many incompetent and dishonest trek organizers as there are good ones. Make sure your guide will deliver on his promises.
• Mt Meru is an active stratovolcano located 70 km (43 mi) west of Mount Kilimanjaro in the nation of Tanzania. At a height of 4,565 m (14,977 ft), it is visible from Mt Kilimanjaro on a clear day, and is the ninth or tenth highest mountain in Africa, dependent on definition. Much of its bulk was lost about 8,000 years ago due to an eastward volcanic blast, similar to the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in the U.S. state of Washington. Mount Meru most recently had a minor eruption in 1910. The several small cones and craters seen in the vicinity probably reflect numerous episodes of volcanic activity.

Ali

• There are loads of Narodni parki for those wanting to watch Tanzania's wildlife. You can gain entry for around US$100 and benefit from a tour (and perhaps a night's accommodation). The better parks, though packed with tourists, are found in the north of the country. Ruaha National Park is the best in the south (locals actually say this is the best park, especially if you want to see wild animals as opposed to semi-tame ones in the northern parks). Don't just be sucked into the tourist circuit in the north; the south offers great parks and towns (base yourself in Iringa), and you will feel less of a tourist and more of a guest if you travel this way.
• Potapljanje in and around Pemba and Zanzibar is another good experience.
• You can also visit numerous historical Slave Trade sites Nahaja se v Bagamoyo, which could make for an interesting, if a little depressing, excursion.
• Plaže: Tanzania has some of the best, most unspoiled beaches in the world. They are stunning, with their white sand, palm trees, and cool Indian Ocean water!
• Kayak the beautiful coastal waters with a tour operator.
• Tanzania has two of the best Stone Age sites in the world: Isimila Gorge (near Iringa) and the earliest known examples of human art among the rock paintings, near Kolo, north of Kondoa, Dodoma -- some of which are reckoned to be around 30,000 years old.
• Kilimandžaro is one of Tanzania's main attractions. Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa. Many visitors come to Tanzania to summit this great mountain. The main peak is estimated to be 5895 m high, making it a real challenge for mountaineers.
• ^{[mrtva povezava]}Kilimanjaro Travel (Camping Safaris), Boma Road, Rindi Lane, ☏ 255784559111. Camping safaris in Tanzania is most loved safari tours in Tanzania. Camping safaris is on several travel categories like luxury mobile camps, luxury tented camps. There is also most affordable and comfortable basic camping safaris. Basic camping safaris is also known as budget camping safaris.
  Camping safaris is widely used for wildlife safaris and vacation holidays. Camping safaris can be planned for photographic safaris, ecotourism, budget Tanzania safaris, bird watching, walking safaris and responsible travel. 

Govori

Svahili and English are the official languages of Tanzania. Swahili however is the dominant language of society, with English largely limited to commerce and higher education. Over 100 different languages are also spoken by individual ethnic groups, though Swahili is almost universally spoken across the country.

Čas dneva

This is where a little knowledge of Kiswahili can cause some inconveniences. Tanzanians don't function on the same time as Westerners. This doesn't mean Africa time, which is the notion that appointments are flexible and people can arrive when they please. For Tanzanians, it's illogical that the day would start in the middle of the night.

Since sunrise and sunset happen pretty much at the same time all year round, 6AM and 6PM, the day starts at 6AM which is 0 hours. So when telling time in Kiswahili, Tanzanians always subtracted 6 hours for western time. 11AM is 5AM to a Tanzanian. To avoid any confusion, a Tanzanian will tell time in English if they want to use the western standard and in Kiswahili if they use local standard.

In Kiswahili, if you say Saa kumi na moja asubuhi (11AM), instead of Saa tano asubuhi (5AM), you'll end up waiting for 6 hours if the person arrives on time, plus however long it takes to arrive fashionably late!

Exchange rates for Tanzanian shilling Od januarja 2020: US$1 ≈ TSh 2,300 €1 ≈ TSh 2,600 UK£1 ≈ TSh 3,000 Tečaji nihajo. Trenutne cene za te in druge valute so na voljo pri XE.com

The currency of Tanzania is known as the Tanzanian shilling, označena s simbolom "TSh" or by "/="ali"/-" following the number (ISO code:TZS). There are 5 notes and 4 coins:

• Notes - 10,000 (red); 5,000 (violet); 2,000 (brown); 1,000 (blue), and 500 (green) {500 have been changed to coins} denominations.
• Coins - 500, 200, 100 and 50 denominations.

Notes and coins vary in size and colour. In descending size order, TSh 10,000 is the largest note, and 500 is the smallest.

Tanzanian currency exchangers usually have a different exchange rate for different US$ denominations, larger and newer bills having a better exchange rate than older and smaller bills. The difference in exchange rate between $1/$5 bills and $50/$100 bills may exceed ten percent. Older US$100 notes are no longer accepted in Tanzania, and any note older than 2003 will most likely be refused everywhere. Also, it's best to avoid attempting to exchange notes with pen marks or any writing on them. If you withdraw a large amount of money, in the range of US$400, you'll have to carry over 40 notes around!

The TSh 10,000 and 5000 notes can be difficult to break when shopping in small shops, a.k.a. dukas. In Tanzania, it's usually the customer's responsibility to provide exact change. But if they do agree to provide change, you could be left with several 1000 and 500 notes of very poor quality. However, you won't have such problems in the large hotels and restaurants catering to foreigners.

In general, stores, restaurants, and hotels in Tanzania expect payment in Tanzanian shillings. Exceptions include payment for travel visas, entry fees to national parks (which must be paid in US dollars by non-residents), and payments for safaris and Kilimanjaro treks, which are generally priced in US dollars (though payment will be also accepted in other currencies). On Zanzibar, prices are generally in US dollars (including the ferry fare from Dar es Salaam to Zanzibar), and non-residents are required to pay for hotels with foreign currency (although the hotel will change Tanzanian shillings for you).

Most hotels will exchange US dollars, euros and British pounds for Tanzanian shillings. Other currencies, such as Canadian or Australian dollars, may be accepted but at rates far below the going rate.

ATMs are mostly located in the city centre and on the Msasani Peninsula. Equity Bank and Ecobank, Bankomati work with Mastercard, PLUS, Cirrus, Union Pay, American Express, JCB, Diners club, Discover compatible cards. If you have a PIN code for your credit card, almost all Tanzanian banks with ATMs will allow cash advances on credit cards like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Union Pay, JCB, Diners Club, Discover cards. If the ATM reports your home balance in TSh, you may be pleasantly surprised to find that you're a "shillionaire". Equity bank and Ecobank have no ATM fees for overseas bank cards at their ATMs. Barclays bank has a US$4 fee for all overseas banks cards at their ATMs.

Traveller's cheques have become virtually impossible to cash in all banks in Tanzania. Since ATMs are much more prevalent, using credit cards to withdrawals from your personal accounts is much easier now days.

Kreditne kartice can be used in big supermarkets, malls, large hotels, resorts, and with certain travel agents.

Nakupovanje

There are many markets in tourist cities that sell standard "African" goods. Beaded jewellery, carved soapstone, and Masai blankets make interesting gifts. Most "ebony" wood is fake (shoe polish) - the exception being in the far south-east of the country, where the Makonde tribe of Tanzania and Northern Mozambique create masks and other carvings from ebony and mpingo wood. Be prepared to bargain for everything. Masks are not typical of most East African groups, and the ones you find in the markets are either imported from West Africa or are strange things made just for tourists, with the exception of the Makonde masks.

Tinga Tinga paintings, named after the painter who originated that style, are for sale everywhere. Their distinctive style and colors make for attractive souvenirs. A standard size painting can be had for TSh 5,000-10,000. There is a Tinga Tinga school in Dar es Salaam, where you can purchase paintings from the artists themselves.

Air freight

If you happen to buy too many goodies during your travels, it is possible to send them home air freight. Many airlines will allow you to check additional parcels when you fly, for a fee, which probably makes the most sense if you're going straight home. But if you're continuing on, air freight might be the way to go. Many listed rates do not include 20% VAT, or a "fuel surcharge" of 13.5% as of 2008.

• DHL. Offers quite pricey service (e.g. about US$300 for a 10-kg package to the US) but is conveniently located in Dar city centre, as well as in a bunch of other cities (see web site). Will deliver direct to the recipient in most countries. 
• KLM (go to the old terminal at DAR airport). Offers slightly more reasonable rates than DHL (e.g. about US$100 for a 10-kg package to the US) but requires a trip to the airport and about 1 hour of paperwork & waiting. You must pay cash, in US dollars, plus some fees in shillings. Customs will want to go through the package, so bring something to (re)seal it. You can first go to the KLM freight office (look for the sign), then to the cargo building further down the same road, or call ahead and be met at cargo. If you just arrive at cargo you will be swarmed by freight forwarders - to find the KLM staff, look for the KLM logo (e.g. on a lanyard) or call ahead (☏ 255 714 474 617). Despite what you might be told, someone will need to go to the destination airport to pick up the package - it will not be delivered to an address by KLM. Storage charges will accrue if it's left for very long. 
• EMS. EMS is a branch of the Tanzanian postal service, and is the cheapest way to send packages. It's available at most larger town post offices. But shipping time can be quite long, and delivery is not always reliable. Also there are size/weight restrictions. Packages will be transferred to the local postal service at destination, which usually provides direct delivery. 
• Fedex. Fedex have offices in Arusha, Dar es Salaam and Mwanza, and like DHL, they are also pricey. 

Jej

• Produce is often of very high quality. Meat and milk can prove difficult for western taste and diets, so be sure that all meat is cooked through. At hotels, you won't have any trouble, but if you venture into small villages, make sure that all water is filtered or boiled before drinking and all fruits and vegetables are peeled before eating.
• Lokalne jedi vključujejo Mtori - cooked beef and bananas - and Mchicha, a vegetable stew with meat or fish in it.
• If there is anything that can be called Tanzania's national dish, then Ugali would most likely win out. A polenta-style dish made with corn flour, it accompanies cooked meat and a variety of stews, and it's eaten with your hands. Recipes vary from village to village, and everyone has their own way of making it. Many foreigners find it bland and unappealing, but it's worth a try, and some upscale establishments serve it.
• Chai Maziwa (chai with milk) is a local favorite and well worth trying if you can handle the large amounts of sugar added to this drink.
• Street food is also cheap and plentiful. Barbecued maize on the cob is very nice, as are the chipped potatoes (fries), cooked over a roaring fire.
• Mandazi is a sweet doughnut-styled food that is mostly made fresh each morning. Great with coffee in the morning, it makes an ideal snack.
• Tanzania's large South Asian community ensures that a great variety of restaurants offer cuisine from all parts of that region of the globe. All eateries near Hindu temples (particularly in Dar) are a good bet. Just watch where the local Indians go to eat, and you won't be disappointed. Most of the food is cooked in large amounts of Ghee, clarified butter, which can be hard for some people to digest.
• Chips Mayai (chips cooked in an omelet) are served at nearly every African food stand in Tanzania and are considered a Tanzanian specialty. They're quite good with pili pili (hot sauce).

Pijte

• Konyagi is a wonderful gin-like beverage, sold only in Tanzania.
• Domestic beers are Kilimandžaro, Serengeti,Balimi, Pilsner, Kibo in Safari, which are western-style and very good. Imports include Tusker, Stella Artois, and Castle.
• Locally produced banana-beer is also available at times, but questionably safe to drink. Traditionally, you will drink this out of a hollowed gourd. First drink the guests, who then pass it to the elders. In some parts of Tanzania, fermented bamboo juice (Pombe) is the common tipple.
• Passion fruit, mango, and orange juices are available in many restaurants, and excellent when the fruits are in season.
• Gazirane pijače are widely available; Stoney Tangawizi (ginger ale - tangawizi means 'ginger', in Swahili) is one of the most popular.
• Mbege, a locally made drink made up of ripe bananas and finger millet, commonly in the northern Tanzania from the chagga community in the Kilimanjaro region.
• Other popular beverages are Fanta Orange, Fanta Passion, Fanta Pineapple, Pepsi, mirinda, Bitter Lemon, soda water, tonic water, and lassi (a sweet or salty yogurt drink).
• Northern Tanzania has a number of great coffee plantations. Although coffee does not have the same popularity in Tanzania as it has in Ethiopia, with a bit of searching you can find a decent cup of java, instead of the instant "Africa" coffee that is served in most restaurants. All large hotels in Dar make good coffee. If you want to brew your own cup, Msumbi Coffee Shop, 255 22 260 0380, Sea Cliff Village, sells Tanzanian coffee beans ground or whole, roasted on the premises.

Spi

Be sure to avoid touts. If you are travelling as a couple, a good idea is for one person to sit in a lobby or restaurant with the bags, while the other scopes out rooms. You are likely to get a cheaper price without the bags, and not be targeted by sneaky touts that will raise the price US$5-10 for you for their commission.

Nauči se

Various schools and volunteer programs offer courses ranging from Beginners Swahili to Economic Development. Dar es Salaam also has a well-established university, which has exchange programs with several universities in the US and other countries.

Delo

There is a wide assortment of volunteer organisations sending volunteers and interns to Tanzania to do work in health care, orphanages, education, and development projects. Finding a paying job may be more of a daunting task, taking more time and making use of local connections, but a job could be certainly obtainable when sought hard enough.

Ostani varen

Kraja

As in many impoverished countries, caution should always be exercised, particularly in tourist areas, such as Arusha, Stone Town (Zanzibar), and Dar es Salaam. Violent crime against foreigners is not uncommon, particularly against those walking alone at night, which is not recommended. Pickpocketing and con artists are also common. Žeparji work crowded markets, like Kariakoo, and bus stations. Don't be fooled by small children who are often forced into a life of crime by older kids or parents -- never carry anything of value in your pockets and don't let expensive camera equipment dangle from your neck. Don't leave bags unattended or even out of your sight when on the beach.

See specific area or city articles for details.

In general, avoid isolated areas, especially after dark. Travelling in large groups is safer. If there are many people or security guards around (e.g. city center areas) you should be relatively safe.

The safest way to travel is by taxi with a driver you know, especially when it's dark out (late night or early morning). Although it's uncommon, taxi drivers have been known to rob tourists. Get the number for a taxi you trust, from your hotel or a local.

Buses have infrequently been stopped by robbers on long-distance (often overnight) routes. If you have to travel a long distance by bus, it might be better to break it into multiple day-only trips, or to travel by plane or train.

In the event of an incident, the police may or may not make a strong effort to identify the culprits, but obtaining a police report is necessary if you plan on filing an insurance claim later, or if important documents are stolen. Make sure the police report indicates if your papers were stolen; otherwise you may have difficulty leaving the country. You should immediately contact your local embassy or consulate in the event that your passport is taken.

Hoditi

There are very few sidewalks in Tanzania, always pay careful attention to the traffic and be prepared to move out of the way, as vehicles do not make much effort to avoid pedestrians. In Tanzania, cars have priority.

The best way to avoid touts, sellers, dealers etc., when they inevitably come up to you and say "jambo" is to either say nothing, or to say "thank you" or "asante", and to keep moving. Some may be offended by 'no', and persistent touts will be encouraged by any kind of interaction at all.

Corruption

Tanzania, like many developing countries, suffers from corruption. Police are poorly paid - many make less than US$40/month. You may be solicited for a bribe by an official willing to turn a blind eye to your infraction, fabricated or otherwise. Some travellers are very much averse to paying bribes to anyone, especially in a country with so many needy but honest citizens.

Fraudsters are known to impersonate police, sometimes in the guise of an "immigration official" who identifies a problem with your documents. They will flash official-looking papers at you. But there are many plainclothes officers as well. And if you are confronted with someone in uniform, they will almost certainly be an actual officer.

On-the-spot-fine is one term used for a bribe. Those words are meant to initiate a conversation about money. You may be told that the real fine is TSh 40,000 or more and that for TSh 20,000 or 30,000, paid immediately, you can be on your way and avoid a trip to the Police Station to pay a higher fine.

If you are certain you are in the right, and do not want to pay a bribe, some strategies are:

• Involve other people. Fraudsters or corrupt officials are unlikely to pursue their schemes near an audience. You can ask bystanders for help on the pretext of not understanding the officer.
• Invoke higher powers. Insisting on going to the local police station is a good way to make an illegitimate issue go away. Suggesting a visit to your country's embassy (e.g. to have an official there help translate the conversation, due to one's poor knowledge of the local language and laws) is also effective. At this point, they usually have a look of horror on their face, since they don't want any real officials involved. Asking for bribes is illegal, and there is an office of corruption where they can be reported.
• Play dumb. Politely explain to the person that you don't understand the nature of the infraction, even if you do. Tanzanians are not direct, and prefer to imply what they want, instead of asking outright. Tell them you've only just arrived in the country, even if it's your 100th visit. If you know some Kiswahili, don't let on. It may only make things harder.
• Insist a receipt with an official stamp -- a request that is most likely to be met with confusion and concern. The idea is to show that you don’t know that this is actually a bribe and that you simply try to play by the rules. Hopefully, after 10 or 20 minutes of a circular, but always polite, conversation, they may send you on your merry way. A word of caution about this approach: corrupt officials have become wise to this and in one case a person requesting a receipt was told the cashier's office was closed and would not open until the next morning. The options were to pay the fine or spend the night in prison. It appears this was not a bluff on the part of the officer. The fine was paid and no receipt was issued. The game is constantly changing.

Also:

• Discussing money or negotiating the fine may encourage the perception that you understand the nature of the conversation (i.e. you are willing to pay a bribe).
• Directly accusing the officer of corruption is likely to be counter-productive; it is important that you allow the officer to save face.
• If you insist on going to the police station, you may be expected to give the officer a ride. If you are alone, and especially if the "officer" is plainclothes, this may not be a good idea. If you are approached by multiple people and are alone, under no circumstances get in their vehicle - insist on taking a taxi. And once you get to the station, just pay whatever fine is quoted and insist on a receipt. This may end up costing you more than the bribe, but at least this cop won't get any money out of you, and he/she may think twice before flagging down other foreigners. Also, demonstrate respect for their authority, never raise your voice, and never swear or insult them. Whether you are right or not does not matter at that point.

Finally: incidents of excessive force involving tourists are rare, but that doesn’t mean it cannot happen. For instance, police have been known to be drunk on the job, which can seriously inhibit their ability to reason. As in any situation where someone is trying to get money out of you, by force or threat of force, it's better to be safe than sorry; it's only money.

Ostani zdrav

Bottled vode is cheap and widely available throughout the country. You shouldn't drink the tap water unless you have no other option, and it must either be filtered with a high quality filter and purifier or brought to a boil before consumption. Tests on tap water have found it contaminated with e-coli bacteria.

Illnesses and diseases

As in most African countries, the AIDS/HIV infection rate is high. Tanzania's HIV / AIDS infection rate was 5% among ages 15-49 according to a 2015 UNAIDS estimate [2]. This figure is deceiving, however, since several distinct segments of the population, such as artisanal miners, itinerant fisherman, truck drivers, and sex workers, have HIV infection rates significantly higher than the national average. Do not have unprotected sex in Tanzania or anywhere else, for that matter.

After food-borne illnesses, malarija should be your greatest concern. Malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes and is endemic to Tanzania. You may find yourself at risk in almost every part of the country, although this risk is diminished at altitudes above 2000 m. Care should always be taken between sunset and sunrise, especially during the rainy season. Always sleep under a treated net; wear trousers and closed footwear, and use an effective repellent. It's amazing, but many large hotels don’t automatically install mosquito nets in their rooms. However, a call to the reception requesting one is seldom ignored. In some cases, the nets have several large holes, but a bit of adhesive tape or tying a small knot to cover the hole should do the trick.

Prior to leaving for Tanzania, you may also wish to consult a physician about taking some anti-malarial medication -- before, during, and after your trip. If, in spite of your best efforts, you do contract malaria, it is usually easily treated with medication that is readily available throughout most of the country. If you plan on being in isolated locations, you may wish to drop by a clinic and purchase a batch. Symptoms associated with malaria can take up to two weeks before manifesting themselves. The rule of thumb for ex-pats living in Tanzania is this: Any fever lasting more than a day should be cause for concern and necessitate a trip to the clinic for a malaria test. Upon your return home, should you show signs of a possible malaria infection, notify your doctor that you’ve visited a malaria-infected country.

Other major illnesses to avoid are typhoid in cholera. In theory, typhoid can be avoided by carefully selecting food and drink and by avoiding consumption of anything unclean. Typhoid infection, according to the U.S. Centri za nadzor in preprečevanje bolezni (CDC), is marked by 'persistent, high fevers...headache, malaise, anorexia, splenomegaly, and relative bradycardia.'

Cholera infection is marked by vomiting and sudden, uncontrollable bowel movements, which can dehydrate and ultimately kill the sufferer within 48 hours. It is important to seek medical attention as quickly as possible. Cholera is more or less a seasonal phenomenon in Zanzibar, where outbreaks frequently occur during the rainy seasons. Vaccines and/or oral prevention are available for both typhoid and cholera.

Yellow fever is an acute viral disease transmitted through the bite of a particular mosquito. Although not as common as malaria, it is nonetheless a serious disease, and travelers to Africa should consult a physician about being vaccinated against it. If you plan on traveling to other countries after your stay in Tanzania, some countries, such as Južna Afrika, may require proof that you’ve been vaccinated against Yellow Fever before allowing you to enter the country. If you aren’t or can’t prove it, you will be offered two options: 1) receive the Yellow Fever vaccination at the airport, and 2) immediately leave the country. The Yellow Fever vaccine (as any vaccine) can have side effects for some people, so you may wish to get the vaccine in your home country, under controlled conditions. Most physicians will not administer the Yellow Fever vaccine to children under the age of 1 year, and a letter from a physician explaining this will ensure that your infant child will not receive the vaccine at the airport.- People travelling to Tanzania from India, There is acute shortage of the yellow fever vaccine in India so please get yourself vaccinated at the airport in Dar-es-Salaam as soon as you land there.

Gastrointestinal Distress, a.k.a. traveler’s diarrhea, is the result of one, some, or all of the following factors: Unhygienic food preparation and storage, changes in diet, fatigue, dehydration, and excessive alcohol consumption. Prevention is your best defense. Eat only raw vegetables and fruits you can peel and which have been rinsed in clean water. Avoid street or restaurant food that appears to have been left in the open for an extended period of time. Eat only freshly fried or steamed food. You should drink only bottled water, which is available throughout the country. You should even brush your teeth with it. If you must drink tap or well water, boil it for a minimum of 10 minutes or use a high quality filter.

Rift Valley Fever: In January 2007, there was an outbreak of RFV in the Kilimanjaro area. Consumption of unpasteurized milk and improperly cooked meat from infected cows led to a number of deaths in the area. Following the deaths, beef sales dropped sharply all over the country, despite the limited scope of the infection. In general, meat served in upscale restaurants is of superior quality. However, care should be taken when indulging in street foods or when eating in remote areas.

Insects and animals

Tanzania has its fair share of venomous and deadly insects and animals, such as Black and Green Mambas, scorpions, spiders, stinging ants, lions, sharks, and others. You should take care when walking through high grass; when visiting national parks, or when shoving your hand under rocks or into dark holes -- unless you know what you are doing. In actuality, the likelihood of encountering these and other similar dangers is remote.

The insect/animal most residents fear is the mosquito.

Medical facilities

Hospitals and dispensaries in Tanzania do not meet western standards. If you require surgery or any complex medical procedure you will have to be evacuated to Kenya, South Africa or Europe. You should ensure your medical insurance covers such expenses. Outside of Dar es Salaam, and especially outside of the larger cities and towns, you will be hard pressed to get even basic medical help as many doctors are poorly trained and/or have limited equipment and medication. You should ensure you have your own medical kit to hold you over in case of an emergency. Misdiagnoses are frequent for even common ailments such as malaria, as high as 70% of the cases.

Dar es Salaam is served by a few clinics staffed by western trained physicians. However, some surgical procedures still require evacuation out of Tanzania.

Spoštovanje

Ramazan Ramazan je 9. in najsvetejši mesec v islamskem koledarju in traja 29–30 dni. Muslimani se vsak dan postijo, večina restavracij pa bo zaprtih, dokler se v mraku post ne ustavi. Nič (vključno z vodo in cigaretami) naj ne bi šlo skozi ustnice od zore do sončnega zahoda. Nemuslimani so tega izvzeti, vendar se morajo vseeno vzdržati javnega prehranjevanja in pitja, saj se to šteje za zelo nevljudnega. Delovni čas se zmanjša tudi v poslovnem svetu. Natančni datumi ramazana so odvisni od lokalnih astronomskih opazovanj in se lahko od države do države nekoliko razlikujejo. Ramadan se zaključi s festivalom Kurban bajram, ki lahko traja več dni, v večini držav običajno tri. 13. aprila - 12. maja 2021 (1442 po hidžri) 2. april - 1. maj 2022 (1443 AH) 23. marec - 20. april 2023 (1444 AH) 11. marec - 9. april 2024 (1445 AH) 1. marec - 29. marec 2025 (1446 AH) If you're planning to travel to Tanzania during Ramadan, consider reading Potovanje med ramazanom.

In general, tourists should wear modest or conservative attire, especially in Zanzibar, which is a conservative Muslim society. Western women should not wear clothing that reveals too much skin. 'Kangas', brightly-colored wrap-around cloth, are affordable, available throughout the country, and can serve as a discreet covering.

The Masai people, with their colorful clothing, are tempting targets for any tourist with a camera. However, they expect to be paid for it, and you should always ask before taking pictures.

It is common practice among Swahili-speakers to use 'shikamoo' (prounounced 'she ka moe' and literally meaning, 'I hold your feet') when greeting elders or superiors. The usual response from an elder will be 'marahaba'. In Zanzibar, the equivalent of 'shikamoo' is 'chei chei'. The traveler will get along very well when using these verbal expressions of respect. In addition, a title after the 'shikamoo' is also a useful indicator that you are not just a dumb tourist -- 'shikamoo bwana' for the gents, and, when addressing a female elder, 'shikamoo mama'.

Tanzanians will also comment if you are doing any work while they are not, with the phrase "pole na kazi". It literally means "I'm sorry you have to work". A simple "asante", or "thanks", will suffice in reply.

Many Tanzanian sellers are persistent and, ordinarily, a simple head shake, accompanied by "asante sana", should settle it. However, as a last resort, a firm "hapana", meaning "no", will do the trick. Tanzanians find the word "hapana" quite rude, so please don't use it casually -- only as a last resort. Whatever you plan to do, do not tell someone you will come back to buy from them later when you have no such intention; better to be honest and say 'no' than having to avoid someone for days. They somehow have a funny way of finding you when you promised to visit their stall or shop!

The most polite way to refuse something is to say "sihitaji" (pronounced see-hih-tah-jee)- "I don't need it".

Keeping in touch while traveling in Tanzania is rarely a problem. You can get decent mobile phone reception even in some national parks.

Telephone calls

The "Tanzania Telecommunications Company Ltd" (TTCL) is the state owned telecom, operating all pay phones and landlines in Tanzania. As it is the case with most developing countries, telephone fixed-lines are not affordable for many ordinary people. However, the mobile network has blossomed throughout Africa in the past five years, and this is equally true of Tanzania. With many used mobile phones for sale and the very low cost of getting a SIM card, Tsh 2000, this is the popular choice of most Tanzanians. For many, a mobile phone is the first large purchase when they get a job. The major mobile service providers operate all over the country, even in some of the most remote areas, although service interruptions are common.

If you find a taxi driver or tour guide that you like, ask for his/her mobile number. This is often the best way to reach them.

Using a mobile phoneIf you have an "unlocked" GSM 900/1800MHz frequency mobile phone (the same frequency as used in the rest of the world, apart from USA and Canada), you can purchase a local SIM card for 500 Tsh from a series of Tanzanian service providers. The most popular are Airtel, Vodacom, in Tigo. Zantel is a new arrival on the mainland and, through the national roaming agreement with Vodacom, has the largest network coverage.

Air timeYou can recharge your "Prepaid" mobile phone account by using "scratch-cards", which are available everywhere. Just look for shops or even small tables set up along the road, with posters for the various mobile service providers. Those cards come in the following denominations: Tsh 500, 1000, 5000, 10 000, 20 000, and 50 000. If you plan on making frequent calls outside of Africa, you will need at least a 10000 Tsh-card.

Dar es Salaam (22), Morogoro & Mtwara (23), Zanzibar & Pemba (24), Mbeya (25), Iringa (26), Arusha & Tanga (27), and Mwanza (28).

Making international calls

Dial " & (koda države) & (area code, if any) & (telephone number)" ali "000 & (koda države) & (area code, if any) & (telephone number)"

Internet

With the advent of Internet-equipped cell phones, internet cafés are dying out throughout Tanzania. They used to be easy to find in major urban areas, like Dar es Salaam and Arusha, and may persist.

International telecommunications have low capacity, and can be unreliable

Some mobile providers have started offering wireless internet service. Zantel, Vodacom, Tigo, and Airtel are the main providers. Vsa mestna in številna podeželska območja, ki imajo pokritost z mobilnimi telefoni, imajo tudi pokritost z mobilnim internetom. Brezžična 3G pokritost je na voljo na številnih območjih Dar es Salaama, Arushe, številnih manjših središč in mesta Zanzibar.

Za uporabo te storitve lahko uporabite mobilni brskalnik telefona. Če ga želite uporabljati z računalnikom, morate najprej kupiti CDMA PC Card ali mobilni sprejemnik USB, ki se priključi na vaš računalnik. To vam bo vrnilo približno 200.000 Tsh. Če imate odklenjen telefon CDMA z modemskim kablom, bo to tudi delovalo.

Čas predvajanja se uporablja s praskami, tako kot mobilni telefoni. Stopnje povezave znašajo približno 60 Tsh za 1 Mb ali 0,05 USD za MB. Torej 1 GB prenosa in nalaganja vam bo vrnilo 50 USD. Ni poceni.

Za uporabo mobilnega telefona pa je tanzanijska SIM-kartica, ki jo plačate, ko gre, zelo dobra rešitev. Klic v Evropo je cenejši kot drugače, podatki pa so dovolj poceni za uporabo po e-pošti in brskanju po spletu.

Nekatere ponudnike zagotavljajo tudi brezžično povezavo (WIFI), predvsem Powernet (Bibi Titi Mohammed Road, Elia Complex) 0658769376, 0787769376, 0757769376, 0777769376, neomejen dostop do interneta kjer koli v mestnih območjih Dar-Es-Salama, ki stane 30.000 Tsh (20 USD) .
