Additional Tips for an Amazing Trip
- Learn some basic Swahili: Simple phrases like 'Jambo' (Hello), 'Asante' (Thank you), and 'Karibu' (Welcome) will go a long way.
- Bargaining: Bargaining is expected in markets and for taxis (if not using a meter or ride-hailing app).
- Currency: The Tanzanian Shilling (TZS) is the local currency. Credit cards are accepted in larger hotels and restaurants, but it's a good idea to have some cash on hand for smaller establishments and markets.
- Stay Connected: Consider purchasing a local SIM card for affordable data and calls. Vodacom, Airtel, and Tigo are common providers.
- Power: Tanzania uses Type D and G electrical outlets. Pack an adapter. The standard voltage is 230 V, and the frequency is 50 Hz.
- Respect the Environment: Be a responsible traveler. Avoid littering, and respect wildlife and their habitats. If you go on safari, follow the guidelines of your tour operator.
- Enjoy the local cuisine: Tanzanian food is delicious and diverse. Be sure to try local dishes like Ugali, Nyama Choma, and Zanzibar Pilau.
- Embrace the culture: Tanzanians are known for their hospitality. Be open to learning about their culture and traditions.
We hope this guide helps you prepare for an incredible experience at DjangoCon Africa 2025 and a memorable visit to Arusha!
