Anchor either at Slipway (free) and use their daylight dinghy service (10,000 tsh per ride or 100,000tsh for unlimited rides for the month) OR anchor at DES Yacht Club ($60USD/week including 24/7 dinghy service). Yacht club has cheap beer and good pizza plus a nice vibe. It’s well attended and has a lot of friendly people.
They will also help you out with getting hold of immigration and customs. Immigration will come out at 50,000 tsh towards their transport. Or you can get a bhajaji / boda boda / uber into the port (gate 2) and find tra customs and immigration there. Visa on arrival for most countries is $50USD for up to 3 months. For US citizens, I think it’s $100 for multi entry year long visa.
For shopping: Shoppers, Village in the Masaki area for your western needs. Also fruit and veg stalls close to the yacht club.
Transport: Uber / Bolt to get an idea of what you should be paying.
If you get immigration to come to you at the yacht club, no more than 50,000 tsh (about $20USD).
