Hi all,

Do you have any recommendations for campsites or cheap yet nice accommodation in Zanzibar?

We can bring our own tent, and as wild camping is (as far as I know) illegal, I assume some hotels give the option to camp on their grounds. Any ideas for a safe place?

If not, Amy reconditions for nice affordable places? We are not divers, yet so confused with all the options..

Thanks again!!!

Hi, I will be travelling through Tanzania for just over two weeks from 30 th October, I want to find a safari that is not too far (up to ten hour bus ride) from Dar Es Salaam, I would also like recommendations and a idea of a budget for this. I would also be interested on advice in relation to beaches that would be beautiful and authentic (not over touristic) or other advice on un missable things. I travelled through Rwanda last year and hooked up with other travellers to share costs of car…

Hello LP Travellers,
Im thinking of renting a car or 4x4 in Dar and driving through southern Tanzania, going to Zambia and then back. I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Zam years back and want to go back with family -- wife and two kids 7 and 10 years old. My question is, is this a feasible trip? Would I need a 4x4 or 2X4? We'd be going in January -- rainy season. Any suggestions about places to see/visit/do song the way? From what I can tell we'd be going near Mikumi NP and Ruaha NP.

Hi everyone,

Its been two months since I reached the top of Kilimanjaro and over a month since I returned home from Africa. I have since moved back home after graduating university.
Did anyone else feel completely lost after returning? I spent so long planning the climb and preparing for it now that it is over and I made it I feel more dazed than I did when I was up there

I want to highly recommend Safari Infinity to anyone who is considering traveling to Tanzania. I visited Tanzania in September 2016 and visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Central and Northern Serengeti. When researching for the trip, I contacted about 15 different safari tour operators. Safari Infinity clearly stood out. Lucia (the co-owner of the company) was extremely fast at responding to my emails... and it didn't seem to matter what time of day it was, sometimes taking as little as a few…

Great guide

Hi All. Just back from zanzibar. Which was fantastic and hassel free. We discovered a great guide. Who was very friendly with great English local knowledge and history of zanzibar. He also was well perceived by all in stonetown. His rates were good and even when we were travelling around zanzibar, he was arranging ferry tickets for us and taxis pick uos. Keeping us update at all times via whatsapp. Which took the worry out of it. And it seems for no extra charge.
He is Mr Alawi A Maalim

Hi - I don't have a very big budget and am planning on travelling on my own, so i was wondering if there was a good hostel system, which is cheap and allows me to meet other travellers ? Is this done often and are there activities to do on a budget? And is there buses that you can take to travel around?
thanks!

Okay, I guess I should have planned this trip better - I am such a mess, lol but I have no time!

I know I don't need a YF vaccination to fly into Zanzibar, but was thinking of hitting Kenya and then come back into Tanzania, where for sure I will be asked for a YF vaccination card.

Now, question is , I do believe I can get this done in Zanzibar or "mainland" Tanzania, yet has anybody ever done that??

Italy is not certainly the best place to have things done right away, and my flight is in one…
