Welcome! [Karibu]
Congratulations on being matched as a trainee in AIESEC Tanzania. We look forward to sharing great moments with you in this country as well as learning from you but also helping you to learn more yourself! This travel guide should give you a quick overview of this country's customs and give you an idea what to expect from your traineeship. We recommend that you read as much as possible about this country (guidebooks, history information material from the embassy). Look at maps and talk to people who have been here or live here. Please remember that their opinions might differ from your perception and handle their subjective experiences as neutral as possible. Tanzania, just as any other African country, is still AFRICA!

WHY TANZANIA? Tanzania is the best place to experience an authentic African experience.
Tanzania represents and contains every part of Africa. It is Africa's land of contrasts. From the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro to the endless plains of Serengeti, from the sun-kisses islands of the Zanzibar Archipelago to the gentle shores of the Great Lakes, Tanzania contains immense cultural and natural wealth. It was here, on the dusty floor of Olduvai Gorge that humankinds earliest relatives walked, leaving their footprints behind as a mark of humanity's beginning. It was here, on the palm-fringed beaches of Zanzibar, that Swahili trades welcomed dhows from across the Indian Ocean. For millennia, Tanzania has played an essential part in the life of the Africa Continent. The great wildebeest migration alone comprises the largest movement of land animals on the planet. With over 25% of the country's total landmass dedicated to wildlife parks and conservation areas, Tanzania remains wholeheartedly committed to the preservation of Africa's great wilderness and incredible range of animal species. The United Republic of Tanzania is one of Africa's most peaceful countries. Home to a flourishing democracy and prospering economy, the country is known for its peace and stability. A well-maintained infrastructure and three international airports connect its bustling commercial centers and ensure easy transportation, whether by road or by air.

Tanzania
The people, the History...the Paradise... Ancient Tanzania The first human beings in Tanzania lived by hunting animals and gathering plants. Agriculture in Tanzania probably began about 1,000 BC but the farmers still made wooden and stone tools. However by the 4th century AD Bantu people began to migrate to Tanzania. They brought iron tools and weapons. Meanwhile people on the east coast of Africa had contact with the Mediterranean civilizations. The Persians and later the Romans sailed as far as Tanzania. Later, by the 8th century, Arab merchants sailed to the area. The Arabs brought Islam and ever since many Tanzanians have been Muslims. Many Arabs settled along the coast and eventually traders came from as far away as India. In the 11th century AD the ancestors of the Masai began to migrate to Tanzania from southern Sudan. Most of them arrived between the 15th century and the 18th century. The first European to reach Tanzania was a Portuguese explorer named Vasco Da Gama who arrived in 1498. However Portuguese rule did not extend inland. At first the Portuguese were peaceful but not for long. In 1503 a ship commanded by Rui Lorenco Ravasco came to Unguja Island. The Portuguese captured 20 dhows (Arab sailing ships) and killed about 35 people. The ruler of Zanzibar, the Mwinyi Mkuu was forced to submit. He had to grant the Portuguese access to Zanzibar and he had to agree to provide Portuguese ships with food and water. He also had to pay tribute to Portugal. In 1505 the Portuguese captured Mombassa and in 1056 they captured Pemba Island. In 1510 the people of Unguja Island and Pemba Island rebelled but they were crushed by the Portuguese. During the 16th century the Portuguese took control of the coast and they built forts. In 1560 they founded Zanzibar town. The Portuguese also introduced 2 plants from Brazil, cassava and cashew nuts. However the Portuguese only controlled the coast of Tanzania and in the 17th century they were driven out by Arabs from Oman. The Arabs captured Unguja in 1652. The last Portuguese were expelled from Pemba in 1695. Finally the last Portuguese stronghold in Tanzania, Fort Jesus in Mombassa was taken in 1698. The Arab victory ensured that Tanzania did not become a Portuguese colony like Mozambique. Instead from the end of the 17th century the Arabs were the dominant power in the region. In the 18th century and 19th century Arab slave traders took huge numbers of slaves from Tanzania and exported them from Tanzania. The slaves were sold to Arabs or to European colonies in the Indian Ocean. In 1812 a man named Saleh bin Haramil introduced cloves to Zanzibar. Soon cloves became a major export. The clove plantations were worked by African slaves. Colonial Tanzania In the 19th century Europeans began to explore inland Tanzania. In the 1840s two Germans, Johann Ludwig Krapf and Johannes Rebmann reached Mount Kilimanjaro. In 1857 tow Britons, Richard Burton and John Speke reached Lake Tanganyika. In the 1860s missionaries arrived in Tanzania. Then in 1885 the Germans began taking over the region. The Germans were led by Karl Peters. He formed a company called the German East Africa Company (Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Gesellschaft). Peters persuaded African chiefs to make treaties with his company. Legally Peters acted independently of the German government. Nevertheless his government approved his actions. Meanwhile the British had taken control of the island of Zanzibar. In 1890 Britain and Germany signed a treaty dividing the area between them. Britain took Zanzibar and Germany took mainland Tanzania. Then in January 1891 the German government took direct control of Tanzania.
05.
However from the start the Germans faced resistance in Tanzania. The first uprising was the Abushiri revolt of 1888. The people on the coast of Tanzania resented German interference and they rose in revolt led by a man named Abushiri bin Salim alHarth. However the Germans eventually crushed the revolt. From 1891 to 1898 the Germans fought a war with a people called the Hehe. Eventually the Hehe were defeated and their leader, Mkwawa, killed himself. In 1905-07 came the Maji Maji rebellion. Africans were forced to work on cotton plantations and eventually southern Tanzania rose in rebellion. The rebellion was crushed after the Germans adopted a 'scorched earth' policy. At least 100,000 people died both as a result of the fighting and as a result of starvation. Between 1909 and 1913 250 tonnes of dinosaur bones were discovered at Tendaguru, north of Lindi. The bones were shipped to a museum in Berlin. In 1914 came the First World War. In Tanzania a small German force was led by Colonel Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck. He was a very able man. When a British force landed at Tanga in November 1914 it was defeated and fled leaving many weapons in German hands. The British invaded again in 1916 but they were unable to defeat the Germans. However by 1917 the Germans in Tanzania were running out of food and ammunition so they turned to guerrilla warfare. They continued to fight until Germany itself surrendered in November 1918. After the war Tanzania was handed over to the British. It was called Tanganyika. In 1925 Sir Donald Cameron became the first governor. In 1926 a legislative council met. Under British rule Tanzania exported cash crops like cotton. Much was grown on European owned plantations. However some was also grown by Africans. Meanwhile the Africans began to organize themselves. In 1929 they formed the African Association in Dar Es Salaam. Yet in Tanzania the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s were fairly uneventful. However things began to change rapidly in the 1950s. In 1953 Julius Nyerere was elected president of the Tanganyika African Association. In 1954 it was renamed the Tanzania African National Union. It campaigned for independence with the slogan Freedom and Unity (Uhuu na Umoja). The National Union participated in elections for the legislative council in 1958 and 1959. However two-thirds of the seats were reserved for non-Africans. In 1960 that restriction was removed and in an election TANU won almost all the seats. The move to independence was now unstoppable and Tanzania became independent on 9 December 1961 with Nyerere as prime minister. On 9 December 1962 Tanzania became a republic and Nyerere became president.
Ethnic composition Tanzania is extremely heterogeneous, with more than 120 different indigenous African peoples as well as small groups of Asians and Europeans. As early as 5000 BC, San-type hunting bands inhabited the country. The Sandawe hunters of northern Tanzania are thought to be their descendants. By 1000 BC, agriculture and pastoral practices were being introduced through the migration of Cushitic people from Ethiopia. The Iraqw, Mbugu, Gorowa, and Burungi have Cushitic origins. About AD 500, iron-using Bantu agriculturalists coming from the west and south started displacing or absorbing the San hunters and gatherers; at roughly the same time, Nilotic pastoralists entered the area from the southern Sudan. Today the majority of Tanzanians are of Bantu descent; the Sukuma constitute the largest group, and others are the Nyamwezi, Hehe, Nyakyusa, Makonde, Yao, Haya, Chaga, Gogo, and Ha. Nilotic peoples are represented by the Masai, Arusha, Samburu, and Baraguyu. No one group has been politically or culturally dominant, although the tribes that were subject to Christian missionary influence and Western education during the colonial period (notably the Chaga and Haya) are now disproportionately represented in the government administration and cash economy. There are also Asian and European minorities. During the colonial period, Asian immigration was encouraged, and Asians dominated the up-country produce trade. Coming mostly from Gujurāt in India, they form several groups distinguished by religious belief: the Ismā īlīs, Bohrās, Sikhs, Punjabis, and Goans. Since independence the Asian population has steadily declined due to emigration. The European population, never large because Tanganyika was not a settler colony, was made up primarily of English, Germans, and Greeks. In the postindependence period, a proliferation of different European, North American, and Japanese expatriates connected with foreign aid projects have made Tanzania their temporary residence. Language Swahili is the national language. Virtually all Tanzanians speak the language, and it is used as the medium of instruction in the first seven years of primary education. English, the country's second official language (together with Swahili), is the medium of instruction at further levels of education and is commonly used by the government in official business. Most African Tanzanians speak their traditional tribal language as well. The main languages spoken by the Asian minorities are Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu.

CLIMATE Tanzania's weather varies from humid and hot in low lying areas, such as Dar es Salaam, too hot during the day and cool at night in Arusha. There are no discernible seasons, such as winter and summer -only the dry and wet seasons. Tanzania has two rainy seasons: The short rains from late-October to late December, a.k.a. the Mango Rains, and the long rains from March to May. Many popular resorts and tourist attractions on Zanzibar and Mafia Island Marine Park close during the long rain season, and many trails in the national parks are impassable during this period. For that reason, in most cases tours are restricted to the main roads in the parks. Travelers should plan their trip accordingly. During the dry season, temperatures can easily soar to above 35°C in Dar. You should seek shelter from the sun during the midday heat and use copious amounts of sunblock, SPF 30+.

Some Tourist Destinations Elsewhere
Dar es Salaam Once the capital city (this function has now moved to Dodoma), the major port of Dar es Salaam is the natural starting point for trips in Tanzania. Parts of Dar es Salaam have a tranquil air that belies industrial and commercial growth. Further attractions include the National Museum, housing the skull of Nutcracker Man; Observation Hill, which contains the campus and facilities of the University of Dar es Salaam; and the Village Museum, with exhibits of traditional housing and crafts.
Excursions The fishing village of Msasani, 8km (5 miles) from Dar es Salaam, contains tombs dating back to the 17th century. Further south, at Kilwa Klsiwani, there are ruins of Portuguese and Arab architecture. Many beautiful beaches are within easy reach of Dar es Salaam, such as those at Kunduchi, Mbwa Maji and Mjimwena. Kunduchi, 24km (15 miles) north of the city, is a fishing village with nearby ruins of Persian tombs and mosques. Mbudya Island is an uninhabited island forming part of a protective coral reef which is a good place for diving, snorkeling and fishing. Sinda Island, some 14km (9 miles) off Dar es Salaam, also offers facilities for snorkeling and shell fishing.
A 72km (45 mile) drive north of Dar es Salaam is Bagamoyo, a one-time slave port and terminus for the caravans. This tiny township is the nearest mainland point to Zanzibar and possesses sandy beaches set in a beautiful bay. Livingstone's body rested in the tiny chapel of the convent here on its way back to London. The town mosque and Arab tombs date from the 18th and 19th centuries. Some 5km (3 miles) to the south is the village of Kaole, near which are the ruins of a mosque and pillars believed to be 800 years old. To the north of Bagamoyo, near the Kenyan border, is the country's second port, Tanga. From here, the visitor can drive to the beautiful Usambara Mountains and Moshi on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Zanzibar The island of Zanzibar, once the metropolis of East Africa, variously ruled by Shirazi Persians, the Portuguese, the Omani Arabs and British colonials, is only 20 minutes' flight from Dar es Salaam (ferries from Dar are also available). Otherwise known as the 'Spice Island', Zanzibar's golden age was under the Omani Arabs in the early 19th century. By the middle of the century, it had become the world's largest producer of cloves and the largest slave-trading post on the African eastern coast. Zanzibar's old Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a labyrinth of narrow, winding streets lined with exotic shops, bazaars, colonial mansions, mosques and squares. The visitor can still see the house where Dr Livingstone lived, as well as that used by Burton and Speke. The Anglican Cathedral Church of Christ stands on the site of the Old Slave Market, off Creek Road, while on the seafront are the palace of the former sultan and the towering Beit-elAjaib (The House of Wonders).
Some Tourist Destinations National Parks Tanzania's national parks extend over some 33,660 sq km (13,000 sq miles). In addition, there is the unique Ngorongoro Conservation Area, in which wildlife is protected and where the Masai tribes people also live and herd their cattle. There are also some 10 game reserves where government-approved hunting safaris operate under license and about 40 controlled areas where the hunting of game is controlled by a quota system.
Mount Kilimanjaro At 5895m (19,341ft), Africa's highest mountain is a major attraction for mountaineers. Expeditions must be accompanied by a guide and very warm clothes are required for the last section of the climb. The ascent takes about three days, allowing for rests at the three huts and a day or so at the final hut to acclimatize before tackling the final stage to the summit.
Zanzibar is a fascinating place with palaces, forts, stone aqueducts and baths; its history as a cosmopolitan center of trade gives it a unique atmosphere. The guided Spice Tours are recommended. Within the vicinity lie many offshore islands ringed with coral reefs, the most famous and most visited being Changuu Island (also known as 'Prison Island'). There are also many superb beaches, particularly on the east coast, although there are now several package hotels there.
Note Visitors to Zanzibar should observe Muslim conventions regarding dress when away from the beach.
Serengeti National Park
This is a plain-dwellers' stronghold of 14,763 sq km (5678 sq miles) reaching up to the Kenyan border and claimed to be the finest in Africa. Here are 35 species of plain-dwelling animals, including wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, cheetah and lion, which feature in the spectacular Serengeti migration, and also an extensive selection of birdlife. Probably the best time to see the migrating herds is from November to May
Ma a Some 40 minutes' flight south of Dar es Salaam, the island of Mafia is renowned for big-game fish as well as being a unique marine park. Power boats and tackle are available for hire.

Arusha National Park Ngorongoro Conservation Area Rising high above the plains of the Serengeti, this vast protected area stretches from Lake Natron in the northeast (the breeding ground for east Africa's flamingoes) to Lake Enaysi in the south and Lake Manyara in the east. The area includes the still active volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai (Mountain of God), whose last major eruption was in 1983. The park's centerpiece is the Ngorongoro Crater, a collapsed volcano forming a crater that is 610m (2000 ft) deep, 20km (12.5 miles) in diameter, covering an area of 311 sq km (122 sq miles). The crater accounts for just one-tenth of the conservation area, which is home to almost every species of African plains mammal (except for the impala, topi and giraffe) and particularly well known for the endangered black rhino. It also has the densest population of predators in Africa. The rich birdlife includes flamingoes which are attracted by the soda content in Lake Magadi on the crater floor.
This park lies within the Ngurdoto Crater, a volcano that has probably been extinct for a quarter of a million years. Visitors are able to see buffalo, rhino, elephant, giraffe and warthog.
Mikumi National Park
This park, 1300 sq km (500 sq miles) in area, offers a chance to see lion, zebra, hippo, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, impala, wildebeest and warthog. A popular spot for visitors is the Kikaboga Hippo Pool. Although December to March is the ideal time for viewing at Mikumi, there are animals throughout the year.
Lake Manyara National Park Famous for its elephants and tree-climbing lions. The wall of the Great Rift Valley forms a backdrop to the park, before which lies forest, open grassland, swamp and the soda lake. Wildlife includes lions, herds of buffalo, baboons, elephant, rhino, impala, giraffe, leopard, zebra, bushbuck, reedbuck, waterbuck and blue and vervet monkeys. Manyara is also noted for its birdlife, particularly the flamingoes.

Safety
This is where a little knowledge of Kiswahili can cause some inconveniences. Tanzanians don't function on the same time as Westerners. This doesn't mean 'Africa time', which is the notion that appointments are flexible and people can arrive when they please. For Tanzanians, it's illogical that the day would start in the middle of the night. Since sunrise and sunset happen pretty much at the same time all year round, 6a.m. and 6p.m., the day starts at 6a.m.which is 0 hours. So when telling time in Kiswahili, Tanzanians always subtract 6 hours for western time. 11 a.m. is 5a.m to a Tanzanian. To avoid any confusion, a Tanzanian will tell time in English if they want to use the western standard and in Kiswahili if they use local standard.
Preparation for your Trip Pre-Arrival
As in many Countries, caution should always be exercised, particularly in tourist areas. Never keep all your cash only in one place and hide valuable things on your body. Violent crime against foreigners is not uncommon, particularly against those walking alone at night (which is NOT recommended). Pickpocketing is also common. Pickpockets work at crowded markets, like Kariakoo, and bus stations. Don't be fooled by small children who are often forced into a life of crime by older kids or parents -- never carry anything of value in your pockets and don't let expensive camera equipment dangle from your neck. Don't leave bags unattended or even out of your sight when on the beach. In general, avoid isolated areas, especially after dark. Traveling in large groups is safer. If there are many people or security guards around (e.g. city center areas) you should be relatively safe. The safest way to travel is by taxi with a driver you know, especially when it's dark out (late night or early morning). Although it's uncommon, taxi drivers have been known to rob tourists. .
For gcdp & For gip We will process work permit for you after you send required documents to us,it takes around one and a half month to get it, but you need to apply for tourist visa(50USD) to enter the country.
Passport and other documents Make sure you make a photocopy of your passport, visa, ticket, credit cards, debit cards, travel insurance and other important documents you plan to bring with you. Leave one copy with someone at home, and another copy with your LC. Take a third copy with you and store it separately and in a safe place. In case of loss it is much easier to get a duplicate when you have a copy of the original. The same goes for telephone numbers in case you lose your credit card.
Insurance and Medical Care It is strongly recommended that you ensure you are adequately insured and bring all related insurance papers with you. Make copies of this also! Leave a copy of the number to call for claims and your policy number in your wallet and label it as insurance in case you are brought into the hospital unconscious. Consult your doctor or travel doctor early on to plan ahead for getting your vaccinations. Some of them require more than one injection, while others should not be given at the same time.
Recommended Vaccines Diphtheria and Tetanus: Both of these diseases occur worldwide and you should be vaccinated at home. Check to see if you need a booster. Hepatitis A and B: Rabies: Typhoid: Measles, mumps, Rubella Tuberculosis Yellow fever: If you wish to visit Zanzibar you will be asked to show your yellow fever Vaccination when entering. Malaria Prophylaxis: Highly recommended. (Lariam, Malerone, Doxy-CT etc) Please do consult the hospital or immigration in your country
Packing Medical Kit It should contain the following: -Aspirin/ Paracetamol or other pain relievers -Insect Repellent -Sun screen (min. SPF 30) -Bandages and Band Aids -Antiseptic wipes/spray -Charcoal Tablets -Tissue Paper -Flashlight *Bring any other medication that might be prescribed by your doctor, cough syrup, or medication for stomach problems, diarrhea, or any other medication you are used to but may not be available in another country. Note: Most of these items are also available in Tanzania but you might need them immediately or the quality of some medications might be dierent in your country.
