Hello all
I'm thinking of flying to Tanzania/Zanzibar and staying for a few months and maybe stay there for good. I have been living in Nairobi for a year and a half before this global 'situation' and due to it, I'm now stuck in England in my old childhood bedroom at the parents lol. My intentions were always to find somewhere to settle in Africa after a life long curiosity and love for it but I want to do some travelling to experience new places and their vibes.
I have been checking out Accra but it's been brought to my attention Tanzania has got no restrictions and the economy and people are doing very well. Not sure how true this is but it would be great to have some freedom from all this political nonsense going on right now and get back to living.
I'd greatly appreciate some advice on:
What is the visa protocol?
What injections do I need to get in the country?
What are the best reliable sources to find a room or an apartment to rent?
(It would be nice to rent a room first to get to know my way around and make some friends, then I'd want my own place as soon as possible so I wouldn't stay long. Maybe a month to find a place)
What I want from my location is to be close to a decent gym and also be close to some nightlife so I can get out and listen to live music and meet new friends. I don't want to be anywhere noisy, I love going out but a home is a sanctuary for peace and quiet for me. I am a highly energetic person when I want to be but also incredibly peaceful and very chilled out as well at home. I'm into all sorts of things and I'm always up for fun activities, sports, nature, music, eating, comedy, fitness, yoga, retreats/spas...all the stuff that makes you feel good haha
I understand if I chose Zanzibar that it is quite small so I can't expect the same as if I was to go mainland.
Thank you for reading this far. Any help, guidelines or advice would be amazing.
Best wishes
Scott
