Posts: 1486Accommodation
I am at a tight accommodation budget. I strive to spend no more than 10 $ at the most if I am forced to 15 $ a day. What I use Jumia for? If I am new at a place you got to start somewhere and for that I like Jumia. It gives me pics, prices. Good for negotiations sometimes prices quoted in Jumia are higher than what you pay at the spot. Its trial and error. I usually book 3 nights max. And see how I like it. Then I immediately scout the area on foot for a better deal price / quality as a lot of quite nice guest houses are not on any platform at all. Thats my tactic. For example first time in Kabalagala I booked in Chez Johnson. Totally crap place. Tiny noisy room. Than I found the perfect room just a couple of 100 meters away. Cheaper. King size. Quiet and cheaper. 20 $ would be already way over my budget. In exceptional circumstances like when I pass through Nairobi yes. But I spend 8 months on the road a year on average. If you have more budget that's a different matter. Another tip. Download maps.me . There's guest houses you'll not find on Google maps. So my main resources are maps. Me much better and offline maps. Google maps and Jumia which works well in most East african countries. Especially in out of way places like Isiolo. And lastly travel guides the best ones for Africa are the Bradt guides. Lonely planet for me crappy guides really. AirBNB might be good option as 2 BR to share with a wingman for a long term stay than it would be ok budget wise for me.
My 2 cents.

I never stayed in Sinza so I'm not sure what's there but I can say I rented mansions in Mikocheni for about 18 bucks a night. The only downside to an Airbnb that I have noticed is that I personally don't bring too many different girls into an Airbnb but that's just me being respectful of a house.
I personally never liked any of the hotels I stayed at in Dar. Got any recommendations?
And since I'm a coffee addict where's the best place for a cup of joe in Dar?

Dar is cheaper in all aspects though you can get a bonified slay queen for less than half price of a kenyan on the same 1-10 scale.

Semipro I classify as occasionally hooking in the clubs to pay rent etc occasionally to sell pussy. Usually troublefree.
Nonpro typically I classify as chica with a dayjob selling pussy on the street but usually you see them never in clubs.
These are my classifications. So per definition all are WGs who take money or favours / gifts in return for sex.

As for Tanzania. As long as you know to type in numbers in your cellphone and show thats the amount in TZS she's going to get in the morning after jiggi jiggi you're good to go. Works in any country even with the Eskimos...

To me, there is no difference between a hardcore, regular and semi-pro. Africa is a different animal. During my first trip to Africa, I soon realized that many would ask for money for just walking with me. I asked two retired men living in Ghana: "Even during the day and away from nightlife, how do I know which ones are working girls. ? In unison, their response was "All of them". Forget your apps. Just take a walk and find the best looking one and take up conversation. Eventually, one by one, you will never get rid of them all.

Posts: 38English language skills: Kenya vs Tanzania
Thanks to all you guys contributing to this forum! It's thanks to you that I am in the middle of planning my first trip to Africa. I am not so much into hardcore hookers and I'll be going for 'regulars' and semi-pros. I'll probably find most of them online, meet them somewhere outside and then take them back to the hotel ASAP. I have noticed in this forum nobody has really talked about the fact that English is not the country's official language. A quick internet search shows most Tanzanians barely speak any English. Has this been a problem for you guys? Would Kenya be a better choice? I am actually more interested in Tanzania / Zanzibar as both Mombasa and Nairobi look like giant dump-holes to me while Zanzibar looks like a place I would visit even if it wasn't for pussy.

Posts: 91I'm here later in the year. I've gone back and made notes but not much info on hotels. I imagine airbnb is the best option but I want to stay flexible as I will be travelling Kenya and Uganda too and I'm not sure on what dates I will travel on to these yet. So the two questions are (which sort of extend to Kenya / Uganda also) is can I just turn up and find GF hotels / apartments with space in Nov / Dec and does anyone have any recommendations for those on a budget in Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar?

Just find friend to show you the City.
Otherwise my advice do not stay there, just stay in Sinza, mwenge Kinondoni even Tabata out of city center but so much fun.

Posts: 139I agree with you Bashaa, I always find myself stuck to book in Q Bar, although there some disadvantages regarding the room level, and some nearly-closed nights in the ground nightclub, but I couldn't find another hotel with active prostitution nightclub on ground floor, such combination makes my life easier to choose / negotiate / take.
