Tanzanija - Tanzania

Tanzanija je najveća država u Istočna Afrika.

Moderna Tanzanija kombinira dva područja koja su u drugim vremenima bila zasebno uređena: Tanganyika na obali afričkog kopna i otoku Zanzibar u blizini.

Povijest

Tanzanija je vjerojatno jedno od najstarijih poznatih kontinuirano naseljenih područja na Zemlji; Pronađeni su fosilni ostaci ljudi i predljudski hominidi koji datiraju više od dva milijuna godina. U novije vrijeme vjeruje se da su Tanzaniju naseljavale zajednice lovaca i sakupljača, vjerojatno ljudi koji su govorili kušitskim i hojsanskim jezikom. Prije otprilike 2000 godina, ljudi koji su govorili bantu počeli su pristizati iz zapadne Afrike u nizu migracija. Kasnije su stigli nilotski stočari i nastavili se doseljavati u to područje sve do 18. stoljeća.

Putnici i trgovci iz Perzijski zaljev i zapadna Indija posjetile su istočnoafričku obalu od početka prvog tisućljeća naše ere. Islam se prakticirao na Obala svahilija već u osmom ili devetom stoljeću n. Obala svahilija na kraju je narasla tako da obuhvaća nekoliko bogatih gradova-država, što je uključivalo Zanzibar i Kilwa Kisiwani. Zanzibar je posebno postao glavno središte arapske trgovine robljem, bivša tržnica robova u njegovom glavnom gradu, Stone Townu, sada je pretvorena u turističku atrakciju u spomen na ropstvo, a na mjestu nekadašnjeg bičevanja izgrađena je i anglikanska katedrala post.

Krajem 19. stoljeća, carska Njemačka osvojila je regije koje su danas Tanzanija (minus Zanzibar), Ruandu i Burundi i uključila ih u Njemačka istočna Afrika. Sporazumi nakon Prvog svjetskog rata i povelja Lige naroda odredili su to područje britanskim mandatom, osim malog područja na sjeverozapadu, koje je ustupljeno Belgiji, a kasnije postalo Ruanda i Burundi).

Britanska vladavina završila je 1961. nakon relativno mirnog (u usporedbi sa susjednom Kenijom, na primjer) prijelaza u neovisnost. 1954. Julius Nyerere transformirao je organizaciju u politički orijentiranu Afričku nacionalnu uniju Tanganyika (TANU). Nyerere je postao ministar britanske Tanganjike 1960. godine, a nastavio je kao premijer kada se Tanganjika osamostalio 1961. godine. Nakon što je Zanzibarska revolucija srušila arapsku dinastiju u susjednim zemljama Zanzibar, koji je postao neovisan 1963, otok se spojio s kopnom Tanganjika da bi 26. travnja 1964. formirao državu Tanzaniju.

Od kasnih 1970-ih, ekonomija Tanzanije krenula je nagore. Tanzanija se također pridružila Kini tražeći kinesku pomoć. Kinezi su to brzo udovoljili, ali uz uvjet da sve projekte dovrši uvozna kineska radna snaga. Od sredine 1980-ih režim se financirao zaduživanjem od Međunarodnog monetarnog fonda i prošao je neke reforme. Od sredine 1980-ih Tanzanijski BDP po stanovniku rastao je, a siromaštvo smanjeno.

Geografija

Velika središnja visoravan čini veći dio kopna, na između 900 m i 1800 m. Planinski lanci Istočnog luka te Južnog i Sjevernog gorja presijecaju zemlju i čine dio Velike pukotine.

Zemlja geografskih krajnosti, u Tanzaniji se nalazi najviši vrh (planina Kilimanjaro), najniža točka (korito jezera Tanganjika) i dio najvećeg jezera (jezero Viktorija, podijeljeno sa Uganda i Kenija) na afričkom kontinentu.

Klima

Vrijeme Tanzanije varira od vlažnog i vrućeg u niskim predjelima, poput Dar es Salaama, do vrućeg tijekom dana i hladnog noću u Arushi. Nema uočljivih godišnjih doba, poput zime i ljeta - postoje samo suha i vlažna godišnja doba. Tanzanija ima dvije kišne sezone: Kratke kiše od kraja listopada do kraja prosinca, odnosno Mango kiše, i duge kiše od ožujka do svibnja.

Mnoga popularna odmarališta i turističke atrakcije na Zanzibaru i Morski park Mafia Island zatvoriti tijekom sezone dugih kiša, a mnoge staze u nacionalnim parkovima su neprohodne u tom razdoblju. Iz tog su razloga u većini slučajeva ture ograničene na glavne ceste u parkovima. Putnici bi trebali svoje putovanje planirati u skladu s tim.

Tijekom sušne sezone temperature se u Dar es Salaamu lako mogu popeti i iznad 35 ° C. Trebali biste potražiti zaklon od sunca tijekom podnevne vrućine i koristiti obilne količine kreme za sunčanje, SPF 30.

Najbolje vrijeme za posjetiti su:

• Od lipnja do kolovoza: Ovo je kraj duge kišne sezone i vrijeme je najbolje u ovo doba godine - podnošljivo danju, a navečer svježe. Međutim, ovo nije nužno najbolje doba godine za safari, jer vode ima puno u parkovima, a životinje nisu prisiljene okupljati se na nekoliko mjesta kako bi se rehidrirale, kao što to čine usred sušnog razdoblja odmah nakon Božića.
• Od siječnja do veljače: Ovo je najbolje vrijeme za posjet Serengetiju. Obično se u to doba ogromna stada gnua, zebre i bivola migriraju na bolja pašnjačka područja. U to ste razdoblje mogli promatrati neke od 1,5 milijuna gnua koji obitavaju u Serengetiju kako kreću na svoje epsko putovanje. Ovo je najvjerojatnije najtoplije doba godine u Tanzaniji, kada se čak i mještani žale na vrućinu. Upozoreni ste!

narod

Tanzanijci čine više od 120 etničkih skupina. Osim autohtonih Afrikanaca, postoji i značajna indijska zajednica koja potječe od imigranata iz kolonijalnog doba.

Visa

Nije potrebna viza za boravke kraće od 3 mjeseca za građane Namibiji, Rumunjska, Ruanda, Hong Kong, Makao, Malezija i sve države članice Commonwealtha (osim the Ujedinjeno Kraljevstvo, Kanada, Bangladeš, Novi Zeland, Nigerija, Indija & Južna Afrika). Turistička viza košta 50 ili 100 američkih dolara za tromjesečnu jednokratnu, odnosno za tromjesečnu dvostruku vizu. Viza se može zatražiti putem interneta putem državni elektronički sustav zahtjeva za vizu a dobiven je i slijetanjem u Dar es Salaam, Kilimandžaro, Mwanzu i druge ulazne luke. Čekanje na vize po dolasku može biti posebno dugo ako vaš let dolazi istovremeno s drugim međunarodnim letovima. Vize vrijede dok traje izdavanje. Vlasnici američke putovnice mogu dobiti samo vizu za više ulazaka od 100 američkih dolara koja vrijedi 12 mjeseci.

Tanzanija ima dodatne zahtjeve za sve koji nisu u posjetu u turističke svrhe. Za bilo koju vrstu poslovnog posjeta potrebna je posebna poslovna viza koja košta 250 američkih dolara, a može se zatražiti i putem elektroničkog sustava viza.

Kad prijeđete kopnom na graničnom prijelazu Namanga (npr. Putujete od Nairobija, Kenije do Arushe, Tanzanija), morat ćete prijeći granicu pješice. Prevaranti u ničijoj zemlji između ureda granične kontrole Kenije i Tanzanije isprobat će nekoliko prijevara, uključujući nuđenje nečuveno loših tečajeva valuta i pretvaranje da su službenici koji prodaju mape za vizu za Tanzaniju. Oni koji pokušavaju prodati mape za vizu za Tanzaniju ponašat će se službeno i zatražiti uvid u vašu putovnicu, zatim će u vašu putovnicu staviti predmet (malu tanzanijsku novčanicu), zatvoriti putovnicu i zatražiti naknadu za vizu po dolasku. Poslujte samo s imigracijskim uredima i susjednim bankama smještenim u utvrđenim vladinim zgradama. Ne zaustavljajte se i ne komunicirajte s ljudima u ničijoj zemlji između.

Proširenja viza

Ako imate turističku vizu, trajanje vize može se produžiti za mjesec dana bez ikakvih dodatnih troškova u imigracijskom uredu Tanzanije u Dar es Salaamu.

Domaći letovi često kasne, ali uglavnom su pouzdani.

Vlakom

Željeznička usluga Tanzanija - Zambija, poznata kao TAZARA, vozi vlakove dva puta tjedno između Novi Kapiri Mposhi, Zambija i Dar es Salaam, polazeći iz Dar es Salaama utorkom i petkom.

Domaći Željeznice Tanzanije mrežne veze glavnih gradova Tanzanije, uključujući Kigoma, Mwanza, Dodoma, Tabora, i Dar es Salaam. Domaća usluga vlakova obično je pouzdana, a cijene karata pristupačne. Cijene ulaznica razlikuju se, međutim, prema "klasi", obično prvoj, drugoj i trećoj. Prva i druga klasa nude kabine s dva, odnosno šest kreveta. Treći razred je otvoreno sjedenje. Topla jela i pića obično su dostupna iz automobila u blagovaonici. Nerijetko je da kuhinja vlakova kupuje svježe proizvode na mnogim stajalištima tijekom puta. Voće i grickalice možete kupiti i izravno od lokalnih dobavljača koji posjećuju brojne željezničke stanice na svakoj od mnogih željezničkih ruta u Tanzaniji.

Autobusom

Autobus je sjajan način za ulazak u Tanzaniju. Letite do mjesta poput Nairobija, a zatim možete uhvatiti autobus do Arushe - izvrsne baze za Planina Meru i krater Ngorongoro. Također, ne biste trebali zaboraviti ni južni središnji dio Tanzanije, daleko od turističkih sokolara. Ceste u Tanzaniji nisu u dobrom stanju; nema autocesta, a vrlo je malo višestrukih segmenata uz glavne prometnice. Autobusi usporavaju ili se zaustavljaju u većini sela zbog prometa, policije i brzih alata za smirivanje. Za referencu, putovanje od Dar es Salaama do Iringe traje najmanje 6 sati u privatnom vozilu. To je uglavnom dvotračna cesta koju su obnovili Kinezi, pa je većim dijelom u dobrom stanju.

Autobusi prema zapadu i prema sjeveru koji polaze iz Dar-a vode istom cestom (A7) dok ne dođete do Chalinzea, koji je otprilike na pola puta, manje od dva sata, između Dar-a i Morogoro-a.

Ako idete do Arushe, autobus će skrenuti na sjever A17. Ostala značajna odredišta na ovoj ruti su Nacionalni park Saandani, Pangani, Tanga, Lushoto, Kilimanjaro i Moshi. Iz Arushe također možete autobusom do Mwanze i Kigome, ali kad prođete područje zaštite prirode Ngorongoro, ceste su u izuzetno lošem stanju, a vi čekate neravnu vožnju.

Ako nastavite pored Chalinzea, proći ćete pored Morogoro (također skretanje za Dodomu), ulaznu točku u Rezervat divljači Selous, Nacionalni park Mikumi, stara glavna vrata za parkove planine Udzungwa i Iringu, koja je skretanje za Nacionalni park Ruaha.

Iringa je mjesto za istraživanje južnog kruga, s novim kampom na vratima Msosa do Uduzungwa (Iringa strana parka) i ulazom u Ruahu (vjerojatno najbolji park Tanzanije). To je izvrsno mjesto za boravak nekoliko dana.

Nakon Iringe, ili ćete ići na zapad, do Mbeje ili na jug, do Songee. Krenite prema Mbeyi ako želite posjetiti jezero Tanganyika, ući u Malavi ili krenuti prema sjeveru do Kigome. Sjeverno od Mbeye, ceste nisu zapečaćene, pa će to biti dugo i vrlo neugodno putovanje. Ako želite vidjeti jezero Nyasa (poznato i kao jezero Malawi), uzmite autobus do Songee. Iako ste nadomak Mozambika, u Mozambik ne postoje službene ulazne točke.

Napokon, ako se uputite južno od Dara, onda ćete uzeti B2. Ovo je glavni put do rijeke Selous i rijeke Rufiji. Usput se možete zaustaviti i u Kilwi, Lindiju i, konačno, Mtwari. Cesta nije zapečaćena cijelim putem, pa, opet, nanesite jastuk.

Izvan cesta koje povezuju Nairobi, Arushu i Dar es Salaam, ceste između ostalih gradova i sela su u vrlo lošem stanju, iako se polako poboljšavaju. Na primjer, putovanje od Arushe do Dodome je sporo. Može se brže vratiti u Chalinze i ukrcati se na autobus za Dodomu. To je uglavnom slučaj za svako putovanje između gradova koji nisu smješteni uz cestu prema Daru.

Pogranični grad Namanga užurbana je ispostava koja predstavlja velik dio Afrike. Ovdje vas autobus čak čeka i da prijeđete granicu. Možete čak sići s kenijske strane, prošetati granicu i ponovno ući u autobus s tanzanijske strane.

Iz Dar-a autobusom također je moguće putovati do Malavija, Ugande i Ruande.

Korisne informacije o autobusnom stajalištu Dar es Salaama ("Ubungo") i neke specifične autobusne linije mogu se naći u Dar es Salaam članak.

Svakako idite na odgovarajući prodajni ulaz za kupnju karata, posebno u većim gradovima. Također, pojavite se na odgovarajućem pultu za prodaju karata prije nego što je autobus predviđen za polazak, kako biste bili sigurni da ste preusmjereni na pravi autobus i prijavite svoju prtljagu kod stvarnog vozača autobusa. Na Arushinom autobusnom kolodvoru postoji prevara u kojoj će ljudi pokušati glumiti ljude koji prodaju autobusne karte i autobus vozi.

Autobusom i mini busom

Autobus je najčešći način putovanja po Tanzaniji. Većina autobusa ima jednostavan dizajn, a ceste su loše, premda su klimatizirani autobusi prve klase dostupni na relaciji Dar-Moshi-Arusha (Dar Express - blagajna u ulici Libya u centru grada ili ured br. 45 u Ubungu). Gotovo svi autobusi ulaze i izlaze iz Dar es Salaama. Glavni autobusni kolodvor u Daru (kamo idu svi autobusi), Ubungo, udaljen je 8 km zapadno od središta grada. Brojni bolji "međugradski autobusi" nude vam besplatna pića i kekse.

U Daru se minibusi nazvani Dala-Dalas mogu jeftino odvesti do većine mjesta u gradu. Cijena karte napisana je s prednje strane vrata - obično je TSh 250 za odrasle (2011.), osim za veće udaljenosti. Ruta autobusa također je šablonizirana na prednjoj i bočnoj strani autobusa, na pr. 'Posta-Mwenge' i postoji sustav kodiranja u boji. Pošta (izvan središnjeg poštanskog ureda u ulici Azikiwe / Maktaba) glavno je središte daladala u centru grada. Ostali su Kariakoo, Mwenge, Buguruni i Ubungo. Uskočite u dalaladu, sjednite ako je postoji i platite kondukteru ('konda') kad vam smisleno protrese hrpu novčića. Konda izgovara imena stajališta - ako ne znate gdje ste ili ne znate ime odredišta, teško će biti znati gdje sići. Ako je moguće, vrijedi pitati nekoga na vašem odredištu, jer stajališta ponekad uopće nemaju znakove - ljudi "jednostavno znaju" da su određeni uglovi ulice zaustavljanje daladala i da imena nisu očita (npr. "Sudani" na Masaki-Posta linija - u blizini rezidencije sudanskog veleposlanika na Toure Driveu). Kad čujete ili vidite zaustavljanje i želite sići, viknite 'Shusha!' (pustite me), konda će dvaput pokucati na šasiju, a vozač će se odmah skrenuti u stranu i zaustaviti. Daladale ne trče kasno; na istočnoj strani grada najnoviji su putovi Msasani i Mwenge.

Tu su i tuktuci na tri kotača / dječji taksi / CNG-ovi / bajaji koji se zumiraju. Jeftiniji su od taksija, a mogu proći i prometne gužve. To vjerojatno nije najsigurnija opcija. Možete se dogovoriti za cijenu prijevoza, ali ponekad vozač ne zna vaše odredište (ne postoji "znanje" Dar es Salaama) i neće znati koliko naplatiti. Vozači obično odredište daju prilično poštene cijene (možda s razumnim "porezom na kožu" za bijelce) na odredištu, a ako vas pokušaju otrgnuti, obično to mogu reći poučeni. Možda je zgodno znati "desno" i "lijevo" na svahiliju: kulia (pravo), kushoto (lijevo), moja kwa moja (ravno), simama (Stop), asante kaka (hvala brate).

Privatni taksiji također su prikladan izbor, ali prije nego što ih upotrijebite, dogovorite cijenu. Putnici bi mogli ponuditi savjet o razumnoj cijeni. Neka mjesta (npr. Zračna luka Dar es Salaam) imaju jak taksi-kartel i postavljaju fiksne cijene.

Avionom

Ako si to možete priuštiti, letjeti po Tanzaniji brže je i sigurnije. Vidjeti Tanzanija # By_plane odjeljak gore. Čak su i najprometnije ceste u lošem stanju, a vozači autobusa nisu poznati po strpljenju ili sjajnim vozačkim vještinama. Cestovne nesreće odnose više života u Tanzaniji nego bilo koji drugi uzrok smrti.

Automobilom

Upozorenje: Ne preporučuje se vožnja u Tanzaniji ili diljem većine Afrike, osim ako već niste iskusili uvjete vožnje u zemljama u razvoju. Ipak, evo nekoliko korisnih informacija za one koji razmišljaju kako bi se prihvatili izazova.

Vozite lijevom stranom ceste

• Tanzanijci voze lijevo (poput u Velikoj Britaniji, Indiji, Australiji, Japanu i drugim zemljama), za razliku od vožnje desno, kao u Sjevernoj Americi i većini europskih zemalja. Iskusnim vozačima iz zemalja s "desnom rukom" trebat će oko pola dana vožnje prije nego što se prilagode promjeni. Iako su stupnjevi prijenosa, brisači vjetrobranskog stakla i aktivirači pokazivača smjera okrenuti unazad, srećom, papučice nisu. Samo pratite promet. Međutim, čak i uz malo prakse, uvijek biste trebali biti na oprezu, jer biste se lako mogli naći dezorijentirani, što bi moglo dovesti u rizik čeonog sudara ili udara pješaka, ako ste navikli voziti na suprotnoj strani ulice ceste.

Izbor vozila

• Ako unajmite automobil kad stignete ovdje, vaša najbolja opcija je sportsko terensko vozilo 4x4 s dobrom razmakom od ceste, pogotovo ako planirate safari u bilo kojem od nacionalnih parkova. Potražite vozila Land Cruiser, Hilux Surf (4Runner) i Range Rover. Izbjegavajte mini-SUV-ove, kao što su Toyota RAV4 i Honda CRV, jer ne mogu uvijek pregovarati o lošim uvjetima na cestama u većini nacionalnih parkova Tanzanije. Još jedno pitanje su opcije pogona na 4 kotača. Vozila s uvijek uključenim 4x4 nisu najbolji izbor za terensku vožnju. Ta su vozila dizajnirana za vožnju po snijegu po asfaltiranim cestama ili kroz male rupe od blata. Ono što nailazite u nacionalnim parkovima u Tanzaniji sasvim je drugačije i zahtijeva odgovarajuće vozilo s pogonom na sva četiri kotača sposobno za prolazak velikim rupama od blata i pjeskovitim cestama. Čak i tada možda još uvijek zapnete.

Navigacija

• Karte Nelles Tanzanija, Ruanda i Burundi je najbolja karta. Uzeli su vremena da pronađu najmanje sela uz rute, što je izvrsno za navigaciju mjestima gdje su orijentiri rijetki.
• Uz glavne ceste nalaze se markeri i bijeli betonski pilici. Identificiraju sljedeći veći grad ili mjesto na ruti i koliko je kilometara ostalo.

Vožnja gradom

• To se odnosi samo na Dar es Salaam, jer su svi ostali gradovi relativno mali i u njih se lako zaobići. Centar grada je izuzetno zagušen od 9:00 do 18:00, od ponedjeljka do petka. Malo je semafora, a ulice su vrlo uske. To je mjesto za pse-jede-pse, tako da su uvredljive vozačke vještine nužne, jer vas nitko neće pustiti da prođete ako samo sjedite i čekate na znakovima zaustavljanja. Ulice su krcate parkiranim i pokretnim automobilima, terencima, kamionima, skuterima i vrlo mišićavim muškarcima koji vuku suludo preopterećena kolica. Ljudi mogu provesti sate zaglavljeni u gužvi, posebno oko tržnice Kariakoo.
• U centru grada ima nekoliko kružnih tokova, koje mještani nazivaju "keeplefties", jer su smatrali da je znak koji savjetuje vozačima da "drže se lijeve strane" prilikom ulaska u kružne tokove nazvao ovaj fascinantni Mzunguov izum. Mzungu je svahilijska riječ za "bijele" strance. To nije omalovažavajuće, a više sliči nazivanju bijelca bijelcem.
• Kada parkirate na ulici u Daru, pronađite mjesto za parkiranje, a zatim zaključajte vrata i otiđite. Kad se vratite, pomoćnik parkinga u žutom fluorescentnom prsluku prići će vam za plaćanje. Naknada iznosi 300 tsh za dva sata. Službenik vam treba predati kartu ili će vam označeno već biti na vjetrobranskom staklu. Nemoj otiđite bez plaćanja ako vam se na vjetrobranskom staklu nalazi karta. Polaznik će najvjerojatnije biti prisiljen nadoknaditi novac koji nedostaje, jer vjerojatno zarađuje, u najboljem slučaju, 3000 Tsh dnevno.
• Otimanje automobila neobično je, ali otvaranje vrata ili skakanje kroz otvorene prozore kako bi se ukrale dragocjenosti nije. Držite prozore zatvorene, a vrata zaključana. Kad se vozila zaustave na semaforima ili parkiraju na mjestima bez nadzora, poznato je da lopovi kradu ogledala, obloge, rezervne gume i sve ono što nije ugravirano brojem registarske pločice niti je pričvršćeno vijcima u karoseriju vozila. Pažljivo odaberite svoja parkirna mjesta i ne ostavljajte dragocjenosti na vidiku. Parkiristu možete ponuditi mali savjet za promatranje vašeg vozila, Tsh 500-1000, ili pronaći sigurno parkiralište, posebno ako svoje vozilo napuštate preko noći.

Rute

• Dvije su glavne ceste Dar es Salaam do Mbeje ceste (A7 / A17), koja vas vodi do Južno gorje kroz gradove Morogoro, Iringa, i Nacionalni park Mikumi, te u blizini nacionalnih parkova Selous i Ruhaha. Druga cesta je Dar Arushi i Serengetiju ceste (B1), koja vas vodi do Sjeverni krug po gradovima Tanga i Moshi, i Planina Kilimanjaro, Nacionalni parkovi Saadani, Tanrangire, Ngorongoro i Serengeti.

Opasnosti i smetnje

• Tanzanijci voze vrlo brzo i neće oklijevati pretjecati u slijepoj krivini. Također, većina komercijalnih vozila loše je održavana i preopterećena, a mnoga od njih vidjet ćete u kvaru duž glavnih autocesta. nikada pretpostavimo da im kočnice rade ili da su vozači u potpunosti razmislili o opasnom manevru koji poduzimaju.
• Većina cesta u Tanzaniji loše je održavana i zasuta rupama i opasnim žljebovima nastalim od preopterećenih transportnih vozila. Sve glavne ceste prolaze kroz gradove i sela, a često alati za smirivanje prometa (odnosno brzine ili grbače) osiguravaju da vozila smanjuju brzinu prilikom prolaska. Nažalost, malo je onih koji su jasno označeni, dok je većinu teško vidjeti dok ne stignete pravo na njih, a ako dolazite prebrzo, mogli biste biti odbačeni s ceste. Uspori prilikom ulaska u bilo koji grad ili možda nećete moći izbjeći ove i druge opasnosti. Ovaj obrambeni stav u vožnji je također razborit jer se životinje i djeca često izvlače na ulicu.
• Ako ste sudjelovali u nesreći s pješakom, odvezite se do najbliže policijske postaje kako biste ih savjetovali. nemoj izađite iz svog vozila i pokušajte riješiti situaciju, čak i ako ste sigurni da niste vi krivi. Tanzanijci su neki od najljepših ljudi koje ćete ikad upoznati u Africi, ali poznato je da uzimaju stvar u svoje ruke. To je velikim dijelom posljedica njihovog nepovjerenja u policiju i uvjerenja da bilo tko s novcem, na pr. bogati stranci mogu se izvući iz problema.
• Ako naiđete na kolonu državnih vozila, maknite se s puta. Imaju prioritet, iako je ovo diskutabilno i neće oklijevati istrčati vas s ceste ako ne popustite. Policija bi vas mogla kazniti i zbog toga što niste popustili.

U Tanzaniji registraciju vozila možete odrediti prema bojama registarskih pločica. Žuta boja pločice, koje počinju s "T", a nakon njih slijede tri broja, vozila su u privatnom vlasništvu. Službene tanzanijske vladine pločice također su žute boje, ali na njima su samo slova i obično počinju sa "S" (što je manje slova, to je vlasnik viši u prehrambenom lancu). Zelena ploče su diplomatske; Crvena su međunarodne razvojne agencije; Plava su UN i slične organizacije; Bijela su taksiji, autobusi i komercijalna (safari) vozila, i Crno su vojska i policija. Ovo kodiranje se ne odnosi na Zanzibar i Pembu.

Donošenje bontona

• Vozači koji vas slijede aktivirat će njihove pravo žaruljica pokazivača smjera koja pokazuje da vas žele proći. Ako je cesta čista, aktivirajte svoj lijevo žmigavac; ako ne, aktivirajte svoj pravo žmigavac. Potražite ovo kad pokušavate proći.

Što ponijeti

• Velika kanta (20 litara) s gorivom za nuždu. (Ne ulazite u nacionalni park bez punog spremnika benzina.)
• Lopata, mačeta ("panga" na svahiliju) i uže za vuču.
• Dobre putne karte
• Pribor za prvu pomoć
• Pitka voda, najmanje 5 litara, i nepropusne zalihe hrane u nuždi.

Najam automobila - unajmite automobil za privatnu upotrebu.

Najam automobila u Tanzaniji pristupačan je, a za najam je dostupno mnogo pouzdanih 4WD džipova poput Landcruisera i Landrovera. 4WD automobili su udobni i mogu podnijeti sve vremenske uvjete na cestama u Tanzaniji. Kada želite udobno putovati bilo gdje u Tanzaniji, bilo da ste ruralna područja ili nacionalni parkovi, odaberite privatno putovanje Landcruiserom ili Landroverom.

Postoji nekoliko lokalnih turoperatora (poput [1]) koji imaju flotu automobila za iznajmljivanje u glavnim zračnim lukama poput zračne luke Dar es Salaam Julius Nyerere, međunarodne zračne luke Kilimanjaro, većih gradova i svih gradova koji su periferni prema turističkim odredištima poput Moshi, Mwanza, Arusha i Karatu oko Ngorongoro.

Vidjeti

Tanzanija ima nekoliko nacionalnih parkova i rezervata divljači, u kojima možete vidjeti neke od najboljih Afrička flora i fauna. Safaris u Tanzaniji se može svrstati u dvije kategorije, Sjeverni krug (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara i Tarangire) i Južni krug (Selous, Mikumi i Ruaha). Ovo je pretjerano pojednostavljenje i ne uključuje druge zanimljive, ali teže dostupne parkove poput Katavi i Gombe, da nabrojimo samo dva. Turistima su prve dvije grupe pristupačnije, jer nekoliko turističkih tvrtki nudi razne pakete.

Cijene Safarija

Cijena safarija može se kretati od osnovnih stvari (šatori za letenje, samostalna prehrana i vodiči s vozilima) do manjih parkova poput Manyare i Tarangirea, do luksuznih konaka i šatora u kampovima u Serengetiju koji mogu koštati od 250 do 1.500 američkih dolara. po osobi po noći. Možete koristiti vlastito vozilo, pod uvjetom da je 4x4 s odgovarajućim zazorom. Korist je unajmiti vodiča i vozilo jer su safari vozila opremljena otvorenim krovovima koji pružaju puno bolji vidikovac za promatranje životinja. Također, mnogi će parkirati zahtijevati da unajmite certificiranog vodiča prije nego što uđete u park, čak i ako koristite vlastito vozilo. Vodiči mogu koštati oko 35 USD dnevno plus savjet. Vodiče je dobro imati jer poznaju park i mogu vam pomoći da pronađete neke od najtraženijih životinja poput lavova, leoparda, nosoroga, geparda i hijena.

Neke od najpopularnijih safari tvrtki su Warrior Trails, Ranger tours i Leopard tours. Ostale popularne tvrtke koje je ocijenilo Tanzanijsko udruženje turoperatora uključuju Ajabu Adventures, Bush2Beach Safaris, Bushmen Expeditions, Fay Safaris i Tanzania Tour Company. Serena i Sopa su popularna mjesta za smještaj i imaju sadržaje širom sjevernog kruga. Međutim, nemojte popustiti na manje ture i manje poznate smještajne kapacitete koji su jednako dobri, ako ne i bolji od većih tura i odsjeka.

Za bolje cijene i neke od najljepših parkova koji izbjegavaju prometne gužve safari vozila, uputite se prema južnom krugu, posebno prema nacionalnom parku Ruaha, gdje je broj divljih životinja mnogo veći, a krajolik spektakularan. Iringa je izvrsno mjesto za bazu za istraživanje ovog područja i sređivanje vaših safari putovanja.

Za bilo koju od sljedećih turneja koje traže internet pronaći ćete renomirane tvrtke kao što su Worldlink Travel i ture koje imaju prihvatljive cijene i čine putovanje ugodnim i bez stresa.

Razgledavanje divljih životinja

• Serengeti Nacionalni park, koju su proslavili brojni specijalci Discovery Channel-a, ugošćuje širok spektar divljih životinja, uključujući lavove, geparde, leoparde, nilske konje, slonove, zebre, bivole, vodenike, krokodile, gazele, bradavice i gnuove. Jedna od glavnih atrakcija je migracija gnua koja se neprestano događa između Serengetija i Masai Mare (Kenija). Potrebna je vodilica s vozilom na 4 kotača. Ako vam je migracija glavna svrha posjeta Serengetiju, trebali biste obavijestiti svoju turističku tvrtku jer ovo može zahtijevati putovanje daleko dalje i moglo bi biti skuplje.
• Ngorongoro Zaštitno područje također ugošćuje obilje divljih životinja, posebno u krateru Ngorongoro. Nastao istom vulkanskom aktivnošću koja je generirala Kilimandžaro i dolinu Velike pukotine, Ngorongoro se sastoji od brda oko kratera (bogatog slonovima) i samog kratera (sličnih životinja Serengetiju, ali veće gustoće i s malom populacijom crnog nosoroga ).
• Nacionalni park Ruaha i Rezervat divljači Selous su daleko manje popularni, ali vrlo ugodni. Pronaći ćete mnogo veću raznolikost divljih životinja nego što biste to učinili u Serengetiju, ako tražite odredište s manje turista, koji su ovi parkovi za vas. Ruaha je poznata po tome što ima najveću populaciju slonova i žirafa u bilo kojem parku u Africi, a često nosi naziv "Park žirafika", a također je dobro mjesto za vidjeti velike ponose lavova i neuhvatljive i rijetke lovačke pse. Selous je jedino drugo mjesto osim Ngorongoroa gdje možete vidjeti nosoroga. Također možete posjetiti planinski park Uduzungwa kako biste uistinu krenuli u divljinu kroz netaknut i spektakularni krajolik. Na svijetu je ostalo malo mjesta poput ovog. S novim vratima otvorenim na Iringa side of the park with great camping it is a great addition to any visit to Tanzania.
• Tarangire National Park 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.

Otoci

• 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.
• Mafijaški 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.

Planine

• Planina Kilimanjaro 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.

Čini

• There are loads of Nacionalni parkovi 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.
• Ronjenje in and around Pemba and Zanzibar is another good experience.
• You can also visit numerous historical Slave Trade sites smješteno u 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 veza]}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. 

Razgovor

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.

Vrijeme dana

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 siječnja 2020 .: US$1 ≈ TSh 2,300 €1 ≈ TSh 2,600 UK£1 ≈ TSh 3,000 Tečajne razlike variraju. Trenutne cijene za ove i druge valute dostupne su na XE.com

The currency of Tanzania is known as the Tanzanian shilling, označeno simbolom "TSh" or by "/=" ili "/-" 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.

Kupovina

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. 

Jesti

• 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.
• Domaća jela uključuju 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).

Piće

• Konyagi is a wonderful gin-like beverage, sold only in Tanzania.
• Domestic beers are Kilimandžaro, Serengeti,Balimi, Pilsner, Kibo i 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.
• Gazirana pića 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.

Spavati

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.

Naučiti

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.

Raditi

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.

Ostati siguran

Krađa

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. Džeparoši 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.

Hodanje

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.

Korupcija

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.

Ostati zdrav

Bottled voda 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 i 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 kontrolu i prevenciju bolesti (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.

Poštovanje

Ramazan Ramadan is the 9th and holiest month in the Islamic calendar and lasts 29–30 days. Muslims fast every day for its duration and most restaurants will be closed until the fast breaks at dusk. Nothing (including water and cigarettes) is supposed to pass through the lips from dawn to sunset. Non-Muslims are exempt from this, but should still refrain from eating or drinking in public as this is considered very impolite. Working hours are decreased as well in the corporate world.Exact dates of Ramadan depend on local astronomical observations and may vary somewhat from country to country. Ramadan concludes with the festival of Ramazanski bajram, which may last several days, usually three in most countries. 13 April – 12 May 2021 (1442 AH) 2 April – 1 May 2022 (1443 AH) 23 March – 20 April 2023 (1444 AH) 11 March – 9 April 2024 (1445 AH) 1 March – 29 March 2025 (1446 AH) If you're planning to travel to Tanzania during Ramadan, consider reading Travelling during Ramadan.

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".

Spojiti

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, i 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.

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. Sva urbana područja i mnoga ruralna područja koja pokrivaju mobilni telefon također imaju pokrivenost mobilnim internetom. Bežična 3G pokrivenost dostupna je u mnogim područjima Dar es Salaama, Arushe, mnogim manjim centrima i gradu Zanzibaru.

Da biste koristili ovu uslugu, možete koristiti mobilni preglednik svog telefona. Da biste ga koristili s računalom, prvo morate kupiti CDMA PC karticu ili USB mobilni prijamnik koji se priključuje na vaše računalo. To će vam vratiti oko 200 000 Tsh. Ako imate otključani CDMA telefon s modemskim kabelom, to će također raditi.

Emitovanje vremena dobiva se pomoću ogrebotina, baš kao i mobilni telefoni. Stope veze su oko Tsh 60 za 1 Mb ili 0,05 USD po MB. Dakle, 1 GB preuzimanja i prijenosa vratit će vam 50 američkih dolara. Nije jeftin.

Za upotrebu mobitela, pak, tanzanijska SIM kartica uz naplatu vrlo je dobro rješenje. Poziv u Europu jeftiniji je nego inače, a podaci su dovoljno jeftini za upotrebu za e-poštu i pregledavanje weba.

Bežični (WIFI) također pružaju neki pružatelji usluga uglavnom Powernet (cesta Bibi Titi Mohammed, kompleks Elia) 0658769376, 0787769376, 0757769376, 0777769376, neograničen pristup Internetu bilo gdje u urbanim područjima Dar-Es-Salama koji košta 30.000 Tsh (20 USD) .
