Hello,

I hope I will try to answer some questions regarding Dar, from the recent questions. I may have missed some stuff due to my limited time but just ask and I will answer. I will add up stuff I as I remember, also anyone feel free to add up other suggestions.

General info and tips.

- the below recommendations are areas with good security (even though TZ is generally peaceful) , close to one another and cheap to move around from your town centre hotel.

-the current situation is good for mongering because the bars are already running at full capacities. Universities are already open and this is generally a good thing because they are game changers for bar hunting. With university girls in the picture, the pros tend to be polite and even the prices become low. So this means there is vast of fish in the market including the uni girls who are always DTF depending on your game..

Accommodation.

A lot of choices and options hence making recommendation a bit tricky. Any hotel in the previous mentioned areas would be ideal because they are close together and the entertainment options are in around there too.

- Budget hotels to mid range would be around Sinza, Mikocheni, Makumbusho, Mwenge. Recommending (wistas inn, silver springs, kebbys, elegance, Jamirex, starcity, king the, double view, atriums, collabus).

- Mid range to expensive around Mikocheni, Masaki / Oysterbay, Posta. Recommending (slow leopard, daisy comfort, saadani tourist hostel, varlek hotel, pearl at oysterbay). If you decide to stay at posta you have to check out the hotels there. I have covered none. But I can give recommendation if you ask. Posta area is ideal for tourists who are also going to do some business meetings / work stuff or looking for fancy stuff at the heart of dar.

More great info. With your help I booked my flights, there are some real bargains out there at the moment from the 5th July onwards only 462 return euro from Amsterdam to Dar with Lufthansa. I like your tip however, my flight lands at 10 pm ish so the old school way is not so practical. I think I'll book the first 2-3 nights in advance, get my bearings and a feel for the place then go from there.

Thanks to everyone for their advice and contributions. I might reach out to some of you once I'm on the ground and Ill keep an eye on this board in the run up to my trip.

Thanks for the feedback, you are most welcome.

Moving around.

- ubers, tuk tuks locally known as bajaji, normal taxi (not a common option nowadays, may only use from airport to your hotel). In your city movements it is nowadays common / economical to use ubers (both car and tuktuk options available).

Tip.

- if confident Book on Arrival. I understand most of you like booking in advance, but if you are not travelling with family, try doing it the adventurous / old school way. Get a list of 2 to 5 hotels you want. Once you get to airport tell your uber or taxi guy to bring you there. See for yourself what you will be getting before you pay. This way you get to tell them that you are expecting to be bringing girls there. Plus other stuff you want. At that point they will accept.

You sir are a legend, that's a lot of valuable info. I am booking flights tomorrow seen as I found flights all in for around 500 euro in July from Europe. Since you asked if we need any more info. I'd like to know more about accommodation options specifically budget to mid range, not interested in anything fancy or specific facilities like pools etc. Are most places girl friendly, are we likely to face issues bringing girls back. What area or areas would put you in easy reach of most entertainment options and which is also safe etc. I presume tuk tuk or taxi is the best way to get around?

Thank you again I'll go back through the reports now and also make notes.

You better stay at Sinza, Most hotels are cheap and Friendly and close to where things are happening!

Yes there are primitive huts on the beach, and you can get your massage there. Kigamboni would be ideal for such service.

- an absolute bargain is mikadi beach, the accommodation is very cheap. The place has a very local feel.

- another good one is Sunrise beach resort, a bit fancy.

If they do not have the masseuse there, they can organize someone from a parlour to come there.

You better find your girl and bring her for beach massage.

-Nowadays in most places you can pay with card swipe so don't worry about carrying too much cash all the time.

- Most of the night places are lit from thursdays but fridays and saturdays are the real deal. On mondays and tuesdays it is mostly until midnight. But some places are good so just ask a local and they will tell you if you really need to go out till late.

Night life & type of girls you will most likely find.

In Dar, there is alot of choices for spending your night and what you would expect to find. Most of the bars or clubs go till morning. In some you are most likely to find tourists, foreign workers, locals (local arabs, local indians, light skin Tanzanians, dark skin Tanzanians).

Review of Different areas + recommendation of current hot places for guaranteed action at night (first mentioned means highly recommended)..

You Nailed It!

Thank you for answering my questions and it would be great to have a beer with you some time. One more question, are all the working girls black African, are there working girls or semi pros that are lighter skinned. I seem to remember reading a report on here about a guy who picked up an Arab looking girl. The main reason I'm asking is that I'm trying to get an idea of the different types of girls and if I would be able to get some variety over the space of 2 weeks.

Worry not about having a beer your welcome!

Arabs and Indians are there you will need to have connections to have them and it will cost more as they are treated as specials.

Thanks to everyone for the useful information. I have been mongering in Kenya for years but because of Kenya lockdown I have to choose Tanzania this time.

My doubt is about the visa. Is still possible to get a visa on arrival or is a must to get a visa before travelling?

- check recommendations out on google map for pictures and prices range.

- there are vast options available, so if someone else recommends somethings else check it out too.

Girls friendliness.

- most of the hotels allow you to bring a girl in your room, this should not be a problem.

Moving around.

- ubers, tuk tuks locally known as bajaji, normal taxi (not a common option nowadays, may only use from airport to your hotel). In your city movements it is nowadays common / economical to use ubers (both car and tuktuk options available).

This way you get to tell them that you are expecting to be bringing girls there. Plus other stuff you want. At that point they will accept.

- can also go extra mile and call to confirm what you expect. Most of these hotels have numbers on their website or social media pages, if not, ask for number on inbox, call them via whatsapp and make yourself comfortable with what they say.

- again check the previous report. You need to see what your entertainment is, or what activities are you expecting to do. If you are a beach person who wants to wake up to the beach and stay there, this list is not that ideal. Even though you can go to the beaches around masaki or mbezi, it is very close. Bagamoyo and kigamboni areas I highly recommended for beach lovers who want budget places.
