how much in Ugandan currency can it cost to travel from port bell Kampala to mwanza?
We are torn between doing an all inclusive package deal for 7 days from South Africa or making our own itinerary and winging it while we are there. We did the later in Greece and it was AMAZING - just talking to the locals and getting advise along the way on where to stay etc...
We are not really into the resort type accommodation as we are more in search for the authentic experience of the culture and nature that Zanzibar has to offer. We would like to snorkel and explore - we are not the type to hang around the hotel..
What would be more economical?
Thanks in advance for any feedback
We would like to honeymoon in Zanzibar for 7 days from South Africa.
We hear the North is beautiful but expensive and its worth staying in Stone Town for a night or two. We like to snorkel and explore - we don't want to hang around the hotel all day...
Any accommodation suggestions? What about self catering beach bungalows?
We don't like the resort style but the all inclusive packages sound affordable.
Would you recommend we make our own itinerary (stay in a few different places) or do an all inclusive package? Which would work out cheapest?
We've been to Greece before where we just arrived and winged our whole holiday and it was amazing as we spoke to locals and planned our stays accordingly.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi all,
I want to travel Tanzania with a self driven car. Does anybody of you know about a car rental company in Dar Es Salaam? I thought of a local one not something like Europcar etc.

Hi all,
we are travelling to Tanzania, entering Tanzania at Dar International Airport.
Is it recommendable to get the visa in our home country or should we get it at the airport?

I have one day to myself in Arusha... what's the best way to arrange a visit to one of the national parks?
Hi, we will be arriving at Killimanjaro airport late evening and then need transportation to Arusha. Can anybody give us a hint how much should we pay for a taxi? Is there any other connection to the city? Thanks in advance!

My safari trip starts and ends in Arusha, and I need a "nice" hotel to stay at for one night. I will be flying in and out through the Kilimanjaro Int'l Airport. Has anyone stayed at the following hotels? Arusha Crown Hotel Impala Hotel The Arusha Hotel KIA Lodge Safari Hotel I am pretty much looking for a clean, somewhat upscale hotel with restaurant(s). And lastly, are there available shuttles? If so, do you reserve it before your arrival? Thanks!
Hello everyone! My friend and I are doing a trip to Tanzania in September 2006. We will climb Kili, but then would like to do a short safari and a trip to Zanzibar. We were about to book a safari with Tropical Trails or Sunny Safaris (both sound like great companies), but then I read on some posts that people can get much better deals on safaris if they book in Arusha...Right now we are looking at ~$550 per person for a 3 day/2 night safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro, but I saw prices as low as300 for a 4 day safari because people bargained once in Arusha. What is your advice - should we plan ahead and book now or would be it be easy and cheaper to do so once in Arusha? Many thanks! Alla
My wife is going to be based in Arusha for a 2 months and are wondering if there are ATMs there. When we travel we try to make use of ATMs so that we do not have to carry much cash, so if there are ATMs, we can manage with less travelers cheques. If anyone could let us know, we would really appreciate it. Also, what are the associated service charges with ATM withdrawls? Many thanks, k
Hallo friends, I would like to know if someone has a special "hint" for how to reach Arusha by plane. I would start my trip from Vienna Austria (VIE) but am willing to change planes three to four times, if there is a price-advantage if I do so. Does anybody know a special way to reach Arusha ? (For example, fly to Ethiopia, take a bus and cross the boarder to XXX and take a loacal plane from there to YYY, take a ferry from there to Zanzibar and fly from there to Arusha; ... something like that; ... if it´s less complicate, it´s fine with me too :) ) Thanx a lot for your help, Markus
Hallo friende, me and my girlfriend intend to travel to the Arusha reagion in JUNE 2006. My, first of many to come, question is, would you suggest this month, because of the weather or is there a reason NOT to go to Tanzania & Arusha in JUNE ? Thanx a lot in advance, Markus
Hello. Can anyone suggest economical travel from Kilimanjaro airport to Arusha? Are taxis easily available, or is hiring a driver on site possible? Thanks!
My friend and I are travelling to Arusha and would like to purchase tanzanite. Can anyone recommend a reputable tanzanite dealer with good prices?

Hi, until now, I haven't been able to find a bus company which has direct connections between Arusha or Moshi and Mombasa. Seems like every international route has to go through either Dar or Nairobi - which would be a huge detour looking at the fairly short distance between Arusha and Mombasa. Does anyone have advice about this? From our Kilimanjaro climb tour operator, we have got the offer to get private transfer for 375 USD (total one-way for five of us) but it seems to me that it shouldn't be necessary to spend that much money.
We are arriving in Arusha one day early before our safari. What is there to see and do in the city of Arusha? Or should we not come a day early if nothing to do there. Thanks for any help.
My son is going to a place called Enorti (not sure if that's the correct spelling though) in the Arusha region of Tanzania next year. I have been unable to find it on any maps despite an extensive 'google'. Can anyone help? Have I the right spelling? Malcolm
I will be volunteering in Tanzania starting Jan 3 and was wondering if a particular area has the most need in terms of village life, education, and orphanage care. Are there any particular organizations that would provide the best travel experience in Tanzania?
There must be some unmissable gem places within reach of Arusha. For those about to go there, with a day or two to spare, what is nearby that we can go and see? IMO, places are few and far between in Northern Tanzania, but maybe some of you have been there already, and know of brilliant sights or experiences within a few hours of Arusha?
