First time in TANZANIA! | is Dar es Salaam worth visiting?

[@XuTian-m7f]

I lived in Tanzania for two years ,Its more safe than other Africa country ，I love the city Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar is very beautiful

[@MJ-xk5ts]

Lived and worked in Dar Es Salaam for 4 years. Departed there 2 years ago and miss the many wonderful people that became my friends. Zanzibar on weekends and the safaris were wonderful! 🙏

[@davidluangisa4515]

We,,,Tanzanians are humble and generous be calm sister...

[@Knotyouravrg]

People have Africa on their bucket list but it’s strange, does one not consider the people to be a big part of the beauty the land has to offer or are they the element that deter one from the experience? Imagine the experience of one of them travelling to the suburbs of a western nation. The place may be beautifully constructed and maintained but I wonder how many friendly conversations and gestures one would would encounter. The ppl represent the land, they deserve the same acknowledgment as the views of beaches and wildlife. A bit of an uncomfortable feeling Mogadishu on fear but no judgment. Just a perspective not an attack

[@NicksDynasty]

Just had an amazing vacation there last week in Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam. I'm ready to go back. Best water I've ever swam in.

[@lindsaylori]

I appreciate that you were being so open about your fear. I also travel a lot by myself, and sometimes I am also scared in a completely new environment with an unfamiliar culture and language - it's harder to guess if people around have good intentions or not. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!

[@LouisaFidelis69]

It’s a beautiful country with warm & hospitable people! No need to worry but will just tell you when you pass by Kariakoo (biggest market in east Africa) you need to be careful & hide your most expensive items or iPhone 😂,,,explore the beautiful beach, hotels, make sure you take time to eat the street foods like chips mayai or fried cassava! Enjoy your time there!🇹🇿

Just came back from Tanzania yesterday. Nothing to fear. Great country. Thanks for sharing.

[@whatsitlike9052]

lol in Africa we talk to random people and smile or just say hello. In Europe you lot are so suspicious of someone says hi. It’s actually weird like what are you afraid of ?

[@temuemanuel4671]

You are welcome to Tanzania, the peaceful, beautiful and friendly country

[@KajaKubicka]

Thank you! 😃

[@mariancounsellor]

Maybe it’s always good to do some research about a country before visiting it, especially if you’re travelling solo. Starting a travel journey with the words “I’m scared” doesn’t really bode well. Tanzania is one country in Africa, it’s like me travelling to Germany and concluding that it represents the whole of Europe because it’s a European country. I know you’re just being honest and I do respect that but nobody where we go in the world, who we’re with, and who we meet, it’s good to go with courage and an open mind

[@ng3k1]

Well, she had a nice experience in Tanzania...... the "am scared" thing is a click bait

[@Me.Muscovy]

Scared and smiling 😊✌️❤️🇹🇿 Top tips for the un-discerning visitor: 1. People in Dar are a curious bunch, but they mean well. Those not used to close public encounters might feel uncomfortable, but don't panic. 2. Learning a few Swahili greeting words goes a long way towards getting around. People appreciate a foreigner who took some time to learn their language. How hard is "Jambo!!" 3. At most times, as a foreigner, people in Dar will be trying to sell you something. At times, they can be quite aggressive. Don't worry, just politely decline and keep moving. 4. Last but not least, Dar is also known as BONGO land. The word "Bongo" is synonymous to intelligence or rather, the clever way in which you will be robbed you come out smilling. Non violence is the order of the day. Dar is SAFE. Very safe.

Tnx for the info love, will be visiting Dar Es Salaam in Februari followed by a few days in Mwanza.. I know some of Africa, been to Liberia a few times.. keep the travel going :)

[@JustJami74]

So I made sure to watch until the end to reserve my initial judgement based on the intro. I have a lot of thoughts and questions. 1) Is there missing footage? I ask because I saw nothing terrifying at all throughout the entire video. 2) If you are that put off by people who are different from you, why would you go to a continent full of them and all by yourself? 3) What was so menacing about people saying "Hello" and "Welcome"? It's all giving Karen Goes Abroad. Please do better.

[@KajaKubicka]

it can be scar to be in a new and foreign environment by yourself, have you really never experienced that? :)

[@1961nungwi]

I just came back home in Dar es Salaam from Sweden and Finland. People there do not talk to strangers. Only their friends. It's crazy and so lonely! Even the locals are so lonely there they almost forgot how to say hello!

[@memoryzimba4026]

It will be my dream come true visiting Tanzania ❤️❤️❤️

[@lylac391]

So impressed that you do it anyway, despite it being an intimidating adventure.

[@toddhellyar4167]

I came to TZ three years with zero expectations and found everything. Lived like a rockstar, earned a fortune, married a stunning genuine younger traditional woman. Building something special here now. For foreigners, Tanzania can be described as Africa lite. Masaki where she was is described as Tanzania lite. Peaceful people. Not without the obvious problems that many places have, but a fantastic place.

[@elimubure]

Kaja it was great to watch your experience of first visit in my country. Karibu tena.

[@johnablorh2186]

Well done for making journey despite all the negativity about Africa. Friends of mine have admitted to being as scared the first time they moved to London and various cities in the US. I think it is more likely you would be robbed in America or dodgy parts of London. what people in the west dont understand is that Africans are probably the most friendly people in the world. Enjoy your trip. Peace.

I love this video! It’s so nice to see someone exploring my country and city. I’m glad you gave it a chance. I have some vlogs exploring Tanzania and Dar as well. Hopefully it’ll give you some ideas as you explore more of the country! I can’t wait to see all that you have in store. ❤

[@andersgullberg]

I was kid and we lived in Dar Es Salaam in two years between 1976-78 and i have not been since there. I am pretty sure that the town city are much more advanced today and the buildings more safety like communication too. It was difficult before than today. When we did arrived to Dar Es Salaam i was chocked to see total new culture than in Sweden. The color in Tanzania was much better and richer. Like clothes and food was more difficult but also warning about bad water. I am pretty sure today there is better international food to choice. Have a nice life! 😃
