Intro

Backpacking or traveling in Tanzania & Zanzibar?

  • One of the best backpacking destinations in Africa if you like variety. Wildlife, beautiful nature, special food (mix of African, Indian and Arabic) and the special culture and lifestyle of the Masai.
  • Spotting activities: climb Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa; search for the Big Five during a safari on the Serengeti; admire the Ngorongoro crater; relax on the beaches of Zanzibar; snorkel and dive around Zanzibar; discover the history and culture during a tour in Stone Town; visit Changuu Island; go on a coffee tour in the highlands; explore Tarangire National Park and find peace on the Tanganyika Lake.
  • Spotting animals: lions, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, wild dogs, buffalos, antelopes, crocodiles, many birds.
  • Food spotting: ugali, Zanzibar spices, samosas, pili pili - for those who love heat, kachori, chips mayai, fruit salads, mchicha.

Studying in Tanzania & Zanzibar?

  • The quality of education varies, but you can definitely have a fantastic study experience in Tanzania and Zanzibar. For example, think of studying coastal systems and natural resource management, local politics and culture. Doing internships in Tanzania is common, for other studies it remains a challenge.
  • Study cities: Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Moshi.
  • Language: Swahili and English.

Internships in Tanzania & Zanzibar?

  • There are many opportunities in the education, social work, sports and technology sectors.

Volunteering in Tanzania & Zanzibar?

  • Particularly projects in the field of education, social work and nature conservation.

Working in Tanzania & Zanzibar?

  • There are limited opportunities in tourism and in the field of international cooperation.

Working as a digital nomad in Tanzania & Zanzibar?

  • One of the fastest growing African destinations - Zanzibar (check local travel insurance policies before you go) and nearby islands are a nomad's paradise... except for the occasional online connection.
  • Favorite locations: Stone Town, Dar es Salaam, Arusha.

Living in Tanzania & Zanzibar?

  • From the bustling streets of Dar es Salaam to the tranquil beaches of Zanzibar, life here is a mix of adventure and relaxation. The friendly locals, rich heritage and diverse ecosystems make it an attractive destination for both expats and digital nomads. You'll also find many nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts.
  • Why, why not? Well, the natural beauty and friendly locals are number one. On top of that comes an affordable and fun, active lifestyle. But on the other hand, there's limited healthcare, cultural differences and sometimes limited infrastructure (although not too bad). And you have to be able to deal with some bureaucracy.
  • Education: there are several international schools to choose from.
  • Safety: it is a fairly stable country, which makes it attractive to expats.
  • Health insurance: not always of the highest quality, for more serious care you may have to go abroad. So make sure you have your own good health insurance.

Can you buy DEET, or other mosquito repellents, in Tanzania?

  • Even small amounts can cause big problems. So: Hakuna matata? Only without a joint.

Health, Insurance & Safety

How does healthcare work in Tanzania, and what travel insurance, health insurance or expat insurance do you need?

How does healthcare work in Tanzania, and what travel insurance, health insurance or expat insurance do you need?

What is the quality of healthcare in Tanzania?

  • Tanzania has a growing but still unevenly distributed healthcare system. In urban areas such as Dar es Salaam, Arusha, and Zanzibar, access to care is reasonably good, and there are public and private hospitals and clinics.
  • Outside the cities, care is often simpler and sometimes limited to small health centers.
  • Healthcare is organized through a mix of:
    • public facilities,
    • private clinics and hospitals,
    • NGOs and international organizations.
  • Many residents pay for care (partially) themselves, which affects accessibility. For expats and travelers, private care is usually the first choice.
  • For specialized treatments or complex surgeries, abroad, such as Kenya (Nairobi) or South Africa, is popular.
  • Ambulance services exist in larger cities and through some private hospitals, but there is no reliable, nationwide system.
  • In emergencies, people often arrange their own transport, for example via taxis or private cars. The waiting time for an ambulance can vary, and in rural areas, help can take a long time to arrive.
  • In cities, most common medicines are available, but the range often varies by pharmacy. Specific medication such as for chronic conditions or certain contraception) is not always available though. Outside urban areas, there are sometimes shortages.
  • Local health insurance schemes and insurance exist, but coverage is often limited. Many people combine public healthcare with private payments. Expats almost always opt for international health insurance, partly due to the possibility of treatment abroad.

How does the public healthcare system work in Tanzania?

  • Public healthcare is the backbone of the healthcare system and consists of health centers, district hospitals, and regional hospitals.
  • Care is relatively affordable and focused on basic care, such as:
    • vaccinations.
    • mother and child care.
    • treatment of common diseases.
  • The quality varies greatly by location. In urban hospitals, care can be reasonable, but in rural areas, resources, staff, and equipment are limited.
  • For complex medical problems or specialist care, the public system is often insufficient.

How does the private healthcare system work in Tanzania?

  • Private healthcare plays an important role, especially in cities.
  • It offers better facilities, shorter waiting times, often better-trained staff, and more English-speaking doctors.
  • Private clinics and hospitals are popular among foreigners. Some institutions offer care at an international level, but this is often limited to the larger cities.
  • However, costs are higher, and payment in advance is often required.

How is the family doctor or general practitioner arranged in Tanzania?

  • There is no standard GP system. For medical complaints, people usually go directly to a clinic, hospital, or a private doctor.
  • In cities, access to doctors, for example through private clinics, is relatively easy. In rural areas, this can be more difficult.

How is the dental care and dentist arranged in Tanzania?

  • Dental care is available in the larger cities of Tanzania and is largely private.
  • You can usually go there for simple treatments, but for complex dental care, many people go abroad.

How is pregnancy and maternity care arranged in Tanzania?

  • Pregnancy care is an important part of healthcare in Tanzania, with an active focus on prenatal check-ups and deliveries in clinics or hospitals.
  • Pregnancy is often viewed as a community event, in which family, and especially experienced women, play a major role in providing advice and support.
  • Traditional beliefs and modern medicine often intertwine. Some women combine medical check-ups, such as prenatal consultations, deliveries in health centers or hospitals, and guidance by midwives, with traditional remedies or advice.
  • In some regions, rest after childbirth is strongly encouraged, and families take over a large part of the care and household chores.
  • Breastfeeding is the norm and is widely accepted socially.
  • In cities, guidance is better and there are more facilities, especially in private healthcare.
  • In rural areas, the risks of complications are greater.
  • In the event of complications, medical evacuation may be necessary. Some expats choose to go abroad for the delivery altogether.

How safe or unsafe is a trip or stay in Tanzania?

What should you pay attention to in terms of safety in Tanzania?

  • Tanzania is generally a relatively safe country for foreigners.
  • Most people travel here without major problems. However, petty crime does occur, especially in cities such as Dar es Salaam and Arusha and in busy tourist areas. Think of pickpocketing, bag snatching, and theft from cars.
  • The same applies to Zanzibar, with extra vigilance required in less crowded areas.
  • Also, do not forget to ensure your safety around wild animals such as hippos, elephants, buffaloes, and snakes.
  • Along the coast, strong currents, sea urchins, and jellyfish can pose a risk.

What should you look out for in terms of diseases in Tanzania?

  • Malaria is a major health risk in large parts of the country.
  • In addition, dengue and foodborne infections occur. Diarrhea is one of the most common “souvenirs.”
  • Tap water in Tanzania is not safe to drink.

What should you pay attention to when it comes to traffic in Tanzania?

  • Traffic is one of the biggest health risks in Tanzania. Car accidents occur relatively frequently.
  • Roads are not always well maintained, there is little street lighting outside cities, and driving behavior can be unpredictable.
  • In the event of an accident, medical assistance is not always available quickly.

  • Emigration or expat insurance not only provides coverage for acute assistance in the event of illness or accident abroad, such as travel insurance, but can also provide coverage for existing conditions and ailments or non-urgent care.
  • Emigration or expat insurance does not require you to maintain valid health insurance in your home country.
  • Emigration or expat insurance provides coverage for preventive care or costs related to pregnancy and childbirth.
  • Emigration or expat insurance also provides coverage for long-term treatments and chronic conditions without you having to return to your home country.
  • Emigration or expat insurance often has no restrictions on the duration of the insurance, unlike travel insurance.
  • Emigration or expat insurance usually maintains coverage in cases such as negative travel advice or acts of war.
  • Emigration or expat insurance offers various solutions in the areas of disability, home and household insurance, goods transport, and liability.

What is important to insure when you are going to move abroad?

  • That you have insurance that is valid in the country or countries where you are going to live and/or work.
  • That you are adequately insured for the sports and activities you are going to participate in during your period abroad
  • That you are insured for emergency assistance and early return if something happens to you or your immediate family.
  • That your medical expenses are insured up to the actual cost and not just for the standard costs. The costs per medical treatment vary greatly between countries.
  • That you are well insured against personal liability.
  • That you are well insured in case of accidents.
  • That you pay close attention to choosing the right coverage when performing work with additional health risks

When can you also live abroad for a longer period of time with travel insurance?

  • There are also special expiring travel insurance policies that provide coverage without you having valid health insurance in your home country, however, these travel insurance policies are not intended for emigration or expats, but for stays outside your home country of up to a few years, for study, temporary work, volunteer work, and longer trips.
  • See the information at International Insurances for backpacking and travel abroad

Tanzania: Updates & Travel

Travel in Tanzania

  • At the Ngorongoro crater you can go on a safari and find the largest lion population.
  • The Serengeti Park is known for its great migrations. The wildlife park has about 35 different animal species.
  • The Tarangire River attracts many elephants and antelopes. The national park has many different wild animals. In the trees you will find climbing lions, leopards and pythons.
  • Kilimanjaro - The largest mountain in Africa is famous for its snow peak and offers 6 famous climbing routes. The most famous is the Marangu tour, which is quite touristy.
  • Find chimpanzees in the Mahale Mountains - This is one of the few places in the world where many chimpanzees still live. It is an endangered species, but here in the jungle they can be admired well. You can also snorkel and dive at Lake Tanganyika and it has a beautiful sunset in the evening. The park is quite remote, but is easily accessible by boat. The islands and white beaches on the Indian Ocean.
  • Do visit the great lakes (especially Lake Tanganyika).
  • Dar es Salaam is the capital and port city of Tanzania. Many travelers see this city as a transit point and take the boat to Zanzibar. This is mainly because there is not much to see for tourists. But for travelers, Dar es Salaam does have a vibrant nightlife center and white beaches, such as Oyster Bay. You can also visit the National Museum, a fossil museum at the botanical gardens. A second museum is the Village Museum, where you can see how different tribes in Tanzania live. There is also the Kariakoo market, which is especially known for the different smells, colors and the crowds. In the north of the city there is the Makonde market, where you can buy paintings and woodwork from local artists.
  • Stone Town Zanzibar is the old center of Zanzibar. Stone Town is especially famous for the Arabic atmosphere and the many photos you can take here. It consists mainly of small streets, mosques and markets. Because there is a lot of spice trading here, you can do a Spice Tour on the plantations. The Beit el Sahal museum is an old palace where you can find everything about the time of the sultans. Furthermore, in Zanzibar you can dive and snorkel between the coral reefs and surf on the white beaches.
  • Be prepared for the high prices and sometimes the relative crowds in the wildlife parks.

Updates Tanzania

  • Check the local travel insurance rules before you go to Zanzibar.
  • Check the rules regarding the plastic ban. Importing and using plastic bags is not allowed.

Hello there, how nice you found my blog! 

I went to Tanzania this summer and I still cannot stop talking about my experiences and the people I met. Therefor a blog seemed like a good way to keep the memories alive. On this page I will be comparing days of my life in The Netherlands to the days of my one month experience volunteering in Tanzania. Hope you enjoy it, and if not... too bad.
 

p.s. I'm Dutch so you better don't pay too much attention to my English

Activities abroad: home page

Activities abroad: home page

From language courses to gap year abroad, from work experience to volunteering abroad, from paid work to internship abroad, from mountaineering to diving and from backpacking to travel around the world

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
