Customs:
Visas and inoculations against cholera and yellow fever are required
for entry.
Climate and clothing: Lightweight, tropical clothing is
worn year-round, although in the cooler season (June-September),
a light wrap is useful in the evenings. Due to cultural sensitivities,
conservative dress is recommended.
Health: Community sanitation is poor. Tapwater is not potable.
Boil and filter water, and prepare fruits and vegetables carefully.
Telecommunications: Direct-dial telephone and cable services
are available to the United Kingdom, United States, and other
parts of the world. Tanzania is eight standard time zones ahead
of eastern standard time and does not observe daylight-saving
time.
Transportation: Dar es Salaam is served by several international
airlines. Taxis are available 24 hours at certain locations; fare
should be agreed upon in advance. Buses and trains generally are
overcrowded. Traffic moves on the left.
