Volunteering in Tanzania by Maximilien

Hi, While living abroad, some expats wish to get involved in the local community life. What organizations expats can turn to if they want to volunteer in Tanzania? How to join a charitable institution, what are the steps? Which causes ...

Focena

Most volunteers companies ask huge prices and make a lot profit on their volunteers. Maybe you better look for small companies with a great heart for those who really need it. I was recommended for friendsfromafrica.com who have a small school in ... Read More

Driving in Tanzania by Maximilien

Hi, What do you think of the way people drive in Tanzania? How different is it from your home country? Respecting the road safety rules, driving etiquette such as general courtesy, speed excess… what are the characteristics of the driving ...

Zanzibar shopping by Stillmatic

Am visiting Zanzibar soon and was just wondering if there was anything like a shopping plaza or mall in Zanzibar to visit to do some shopping whilst there? I got the impression it was more of a resort/hotel/cultural type of destination though but ...

Focena

You can do some shopping there but don't expect anything of it. There are some (handmade) souvenirs and some clothes shops but the quality is not so good. A few hours shopping and visiting the market in Stone Town will be more than enough. You ... Read More
