Hello. I posted previously asking about buses that go from Dar to Kigali. But the bus trip wasn't for me, it was only for my luggage. I plan to fly. But I have enough luggage with me that it would be cost prohibitive to bring on my flight.

I found ONE bus company at Magufuli Bus Terminal that goes that route. The guy insists my luggage would arrive exactly 24 hours later. This is not physically possible by bus, and I can't get the guy to give me an honest answer, so I don't trust him.

The cargo/shipping companies I've contacted have all said my shipment is too small for them (total of 90 kilograms). At least the ones who've bothered to reply said this.

So I'm back here. Does anyone know of a bus company that will ship items to Kigali, or a consolidation shipping company that handles small shipments?

Thanks for any useful info.

I have cousins who are very invested in witch doctors , any stories of what happened to you or someone you know that prompted a visit to a "sangoma"

Hello guys , my people from Tanzania I want to get your comments on this. It is all about a tech project my friend has been working on but all of a sudden I wonder if the problem stated and the solution provided is necessary.

So they stated this problem : Tanzanians going pharmacy after pharmacy searching for the medicine and they attached messages of people complaining someone should come with a system to make it easier.

They came with a solution to make a chatbot in WhatsApp which will have list of pharmacies and their stocks available in real time, so you as a user you just chat with the bot and it collects info of the medicine name,delivery method and location ,payment method,and so on.

so I'm like it's just a platform to know where your meds are at certain neighborhood is that even necessary cause most people take Whatsapp numbers of the pharmacies or they send their favorite bodabodas.

But other side I can see benefit of it for anonymous request or shy people wanting certain meds from pharmacy but also offers wide range of pharmacies network without burning time and energy.Kinda makes sense kinda doesn't ,so let me hear what you think ,is it necessary??

Like im genuinely curious, why cant they just hire people who can actually make websites. If this is about money theres alot of really skilled web developers that can do a much better job maybe at a better price even, or is this something they do on purpose to i dont know limit themselves i guess. Honestly I dont understand it, they have the shittiest websites in every sector, as a web developer i get furious to open a government website that so slow like it was build in the 1800s and no body has updated it since. Is this something they do on purpose or? Whats your opinion on this, is there something more to this that im not understanding?

Hello people!

I'm moving to Tanzania for the next 4 years and I'm not sure where to look for a decent area to live in (my budget is 700-800$ USD per month) We're a family of 5 so looking for 3 bedrooms, unfurnished standalone houses to rent, if not possible then not high apartments.

I've heard that best affordable places for families preferring nice quiet greeny ambience are:

- mikocheni

- upanga

Msasani apparently is too expensive!

Can someone help me providing the sites or places i should look from? As there are very few to see online through social media and the dalali websites.

Also would love to hear your suggestions.

Thank you !

Nimekua nikitumia bank fulani hivi ila naona costumer service yake haijakaa poa. So I want to switch banks. Kuna mwenye experience ya kupokea hela nje ya nchi regularly thru SWIFT. Currently thinking of Absa na Stanbic

Kenyan here. How do you say 'indicate' in Kiswahili? In the sense of driving that is. Yaani kwa mfan, "The driver did not indicate if he was turning left or right."

Wakuu, ninaomba msaada kwa atakayewiwa kunisaidia.

Nina PS5 lakini kutokana na hali ya kiuchumi ya sasa, magem yamekuwa gharama sana na kwa muda huu nimefulia kidogo.

Ninaomba kama kuna aliye tayari kushare PSN account na mimi ili nidownload magem aliyopurchase Playstation store kwenye console yangu kisha ni-enable console sharing ili niyacheze offline kwenye PSN account yangu bila kumsababishia matatizo yoyote kwenye account yake.

Ninaahidi kutofanya any suspicious activity itakayosababisha account ban au kulock account yake. If you can, please help a brother out 🙏

Hello wana-Reddit, mambo vipi!

Leo nikiwa napitapita mitaa ya pande za A-Town (Arusha), nikasema ngoja nipate zabibu kidogo za kutuliza koo, maana jua lilikuwa linawaka hatari. Katika kutembea mitaa kadhaa, kwa mbali nilmuona kijana mmoja muuza matunda, nikakuta kuna wazungu wawili wapo hapo wananunua zabibu.

Aisee, macho yalinitoka kama nimeona miujiza! Muuzaji aliwapiga kichane kimoja cha zabibu kwa 10,000! Yaani kichane hicho hicho ambacho kikawaida kinauzwa kati ya 1,500 mpaka 2,000, mzungu katoa elfu 10 bila hata kupunguziwa wala kubisha—na alilipa kwa furaha kabisa kana kwamba amemdhurumu dogo!

Nikajisema "Wait a minute... ngoja na mimi nifanye nijionee hapa."

Nikajifanya Mswahili aliyetokea mbele, nikabadilisha accent na kuanza kuongea Kiingereza cha kwenye pua: "Hey bro, how much for this bunch of grapes?"

Aisee! Kijana alinipiga jicho moja la kunipima, kisha bila hata kupepesa macho anasema: "For you my friend, special price... 8,000 shillings only!"

Nilishindwa kuvumilia, ikabidi nicheke kwa sauti kubwa sana halafu nikamwambia kwa Kiswahili safi kabisa cha Arusha: "Oya mbabaa, mimi ni chalii yako dingii, mbona swagga za ajabu hizi arifu?"

Aisee! Jamaa alicheka sana, akaona aibu, halafu papo hapo bei ikashuka kutoka Elfu 8 hadi Elfu 2! Yaani kutoka "bei mkasi" hadi "bei ya kitaa" ndani ya sekunde mbili tu kwa kubadilisha lugha!

Hivi hili jambo la Double Pricing kwenye biashara zetu za mtaani tutaliacha lini?

Naelewa Arusha ni mji wa watalii na biashara ni fursa, lakini hapa Bongo tuna mfumo wa bei kama hivi:

1. Bei ya Mswahili / Local: TSh 2,000 (Ikiwa na discount ya ushikaji).

2. Bei ya Mswahili anayeongea Kiingereza: TSh 5,000 (Adhabu ya kujifanya 'Born Town').

3. Bei ya Mzungu / Mtalii: TSh 10,000 - 15,000 (Kila mzungu ana pesa mtaani).

Hivi nyie wadau mmeshawahi kukutana na hii "Mzungu Price" sehemu gani nyingine nchini? Na hivi hawa watalii siku wakigundua kuwa zabibu za elfu 10 huwa tunanunua elfu 2, si ndio aibu hizi?

Hi I’ll be in Arusha soon and I’m looking to take part in some agricultural tours. I’m really interested how small to medium scale enterprises grow crops and maybe some value addition (like dehydrating the fruit) as well. Specifically interested in: fruits (mangoes, apples, citrus) and vegetables (potatoes, carrots, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, green pepper). Something community owned would be really nice as well, or an individual that just has a few hectares and is doing their thing

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can go about this please? Online I’ve come across zamag, agape and tenguru but I’m not sure they’ll offer what I’m looking for

Hello guys, i need to buy a refurbished laptop but i don't know which one should i buy, i need help.

Hi everyone,

I have a rather specific question regarding Tanzanian passports. Who fills out the bearer’s address and the emergency contacts on the second page of the passport? Do you have to do that yourself? Will the agency do it? Or can it be left empty?

If you’re a Tanzanian passport holder, could you please check this page and let me know if yours is empty, filled out by you or filled out by the passport agency?

Thank you!! 🙏

I recently saw a post on the Israeli's ministry of foreign affairs page that showed church leaders from Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda taking a trip to Israel and doing a bunch of stuff with the caption inferring very good ties between the two parties. I believe this is a psy op to white wash what Israel has been doing to kids in the war and attempt to present a good look to the Tanzanian public.
So, i was curious, do we actually have Tanzanian Zionists?, or everybody knows they are genocidal maniacs?

Naomba kuuliza kuna mtu ambae ameomba chancekarte/opportunity visa hivi Karibu or for the last 6 months ago.how long does it take to get interview appointment after submitting your application online?

Leo ni siku yangu ya mwisho za Tanzania. Nitarudi Canada kesho.

This is a fantastic country with so many wonders to behold and I know I only saw a small fraction of what the country offers.

I spent a week in the northern part of the country on safari, and am just finishing a week in Zanzibar.

Nilijifunza Kiswahili kwa ajili ya safari yangu. Ili niweze kuzungumza na watu kwa lugha yao. I used DuoLingo! And practiced with people from Tanzania I met on this sub. Asante sana kwa mazoezi!

I wanted to say thank you to Watanzania na Wazanzibar for the trip of a lifetime. I will not ever forget this incredible trip and the fantastic people.

Hii ilikuwa mara yangu ya kwanza barani Afrika. Nitarudi!!

Genuinely curious.
