Hello Weyni, my family and I are planning a month long trip to East Africa, beginning in Ethiopia, Kenya and lastly Tanzania/Zanzibar. We plan to go to Addis and would like to travel to Gondar and Lalibela. After Ethiopia, we're heading to Nairobi and Mombasa. Then on to Dar, Victoria Falls and Zanzibar. So much Great advice in this video, especially on withdrawing funds from bank ATM machines. As well as renting a rental car, eating away from hotel and planning your own trip and saving. We plan a week 7-10 days. Any additional insight you provide.

[@planB-BacktoAfrica]

Sounds like an amazing trip. When you visit the Mosi Oa Tunya Falls in Zambia/ Zimbabwe make sure to get a multi entry visa so that you can cross the bridge to Zambia or Zimbabwe, depending on which country you enter first 🙏🏾

[@SA-xj8hc]

Number 8 , those woman they don’t go out with local Zanzibari men , they are other Africans . Zanzibar it has been a junk where many men from countries near Zanzibar are dumping themselves . Tanzania mainland , Kenyans etc

[@AminaOthman-b4f]

You're absolutely right..🏝️

[@melanintravelsmagic4834]

Jambiani is quiet as well very seclusive … and only 10 mn drive from Paje for supermarket and restaurant, atm, medical center

[@planB-BacktoAfrica]

True, I love Jambiani. One of my favorite places.

[@maxwellkariuki2930]

Interesting

[@mctreasure]

Mbuzi choma is fire! loved it. Great info as usual Weyni, i was thrown off by the Channel name change, i might have to take out my anger sometime in July in Zanzibar's version of the purge

[@planB-BacktoAfrica]

Please do! 😂

[@mctreasure]

@@planB-BacktoAfrica Noticed not much on Stone Town attractions like Forodhani , any specific thoughts on those?

[@planB-BacktoAfrica]

@@mctreasure Forodhani street food is a nice experience. You can try different local dishes and seafood. However I would be careful there because the food is overpriced and much fish and seafood is not always fresh. Try Urojo when you there though 👍🏾

[@vladimirshiryaev2563]

Hi Weini. What’s your take on healing real estate projects in Africa? Hotel + healing center (integrative detox + apitherapy + acupuncture + hidjama + lymphatic and guasha massages, spinal cord adjustment) + medical check up clinic. This can be a good investment in real estate with health & wellness purpose. I think Tanzania and Kenya are good places for this.

[@planB-BacktoAfrica]

Yes definitely a good idea. I don’t know of such a place in Zanzibar. There are many spas but no healing centers as far as I know 👍🏾

[@crimangione]

Hi there! Thanks so much for your precious videos and tips. But aren't you also a bit too dramatic about the internet? I was in Kiwengwa two years ago for two months and I was using regularly on line, even watching movies and so on. I didn't have an specific internet connection, I was just using the signal of my phone... In two months I've never had problem about that. So I was planning to follow your advice and go to the south-est in the next weeks, and I need to stay connected because I'll be there for months, and need working from there. But now I'm wondering if your very low speed on line advise was mostly related to the south-est??

[@planB-BacktoAfrica]

Im not exaggerating. Working online is not the same as watching movies. I can also watch a movie on Netflix at my home on the south east coast, but I can not upload or download files without waiting hours. I know many digital nomads who left the island because of the bad network.

[@melanintravelsmagic4834]

@@planB-BacktoAfricaok you lived there in 2008. They just launched 5 G now all my repats friends are buying it. And Starlink is coming next year. The problem is electricity powershut sometimes at night… I’ve been 6 times in the last 2 years as a slow travellers for 3 weeks to 1 month nearly each time. I was able to work everywhere in cafe, restaurants, beach cafe, hotels lobbys and my airbnbs too … it’s changing … I’m a digital marketer and have an online travel agency too

[@crimangione]

@@melanintravelsmagic4834 Hi there, Thanks for your useful comment! Do you know exactly (more or less from which month) when Starlink will be operative in Zanzibar? Thanks!

[@planB-BacktoAfrica]

@@melanintravelsmagic4834 last time I was there was from June until September this year. And the internet on the entire east coast was horrible. Another friend of mine just left the island because she couldn’t work properly as a social media marketing manager. Maybe it’s different in other parts of the island.

[@melanintravelsmagic4834]

Ok i never had issues unless there is a powercut but i’ve stayed in differrnet places usually Stonetown, Paje, Jambiani and Michamwi … it depends where you stay. But now locals and residents are getting Airtel 5G and it’s working well

[@melanintravelsmagic4834]

Internet has changed! They just launched 5G! All my repats friends are getting it ! In the last 2 years i visited frequently for ling period and didn’t have any issues workung remotely in hotel lobby, coffes, beach bar… I know also the Digital nomad community .. the real problem is inconsistency in electricity 💯💯💯 and random power cut

[@planB-BacktoAfrica]

Thanks for your insights. I was there when 5g was introduced. You don’t get 5g in all areas just a very few outside of town. As you said the problem is regular power cuts but unstable WiFi connectivity too.

[@melanintravelsmagic4834]

I love buying from local food outlet even in Forodahni you have kebabs and shawarma for 500 TZS

[@melanintravelsmagic4834]

I hope that africa rises , that the natives wont be referred to as mere disturbing beachboys.I hope that those beachboys get to enjoy the fruits of their island to the fullest...nothing against the content creator

[@planB-BacktoAfrica]

I hope so too. I don’t even blame them. They are just trying to get by.

[@melanintravelsmagic4834]

Have you tried to drive un Africa? Rrnting a car… eith policemen trying to get bribe from you every minute 😂😂😂😂

[@planB-BacktoAfrica]

That’s true but if you know how to talk to them, you will be good. Maybe I should make a tutorial about that 😂

​​​​​@@planB-BacktoAfrica Wenn ich in Tansania und Kenia unterwegs bin miete ich mir stets ein ortsübliches Motorrad. Zum einen ist das extrem preisgünstig, zum anderen habe ich quasi völlige Ruhe vor der Polizei, und es bringt durchaus eine gewisse Anerkennung von den Einheimischen. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, die Preise und Tarife sind immer wieder etwas anderes, in Abhängigkeit davon, ob man aus einem Auto aussteigt oder mit dem Moped ankommt. Solange ich nicht Helm und Handschuhe trage erkennt man im Straßenverkehr zwar daß ich weiß bin, aber ich werde dann für einen permanent resident gehalten, was auch schon viel ! besser ist, als auszusehen wie ein Urlauber. Außerdem ist man mit dem Motorrad besonders in und um DAR ganz erheblich schneller am Ziel. Und weit draußen in der Savanne kann man kann viele magische Orte aufsuchen, die mit einem PKW überhaupt nicht erreichbar sind. Wenig überraschend kommt man als Motorradfahrer viel besser mit den Einheimischen ins Gespräch als wenn man hinter Blech und Scheiben verpackt ist, auch das öffnet viele Türen. Da entstehen schnell allerhand Anekdoten! Ich habe keinen Kanal aber wir können ja gelegentlich mal ein paar Minuten Video zusammen machen...
