Visitors to Zanzibar (predominantly a Muslim area) are advised to wear clothes that cover the body from the shoulders down to the knees, especially during visits to public places such as mosques, markets, bus stations, or hospitals.

Ask permission first before taking photos especially if you see tribespeople. You should be aware that some might want a little bit of money in exchange for photos.

Tanzania is a conservative country so avoid showing displays of affection when you are in public.

It’s improper to use your left hand to touch food or other people as it is reserved for toilet business. Use your right hand instead when you shake hands, eat, or give gifts and money.

    KILWA – Anchor near the port as this is manned by the navy and there are always people watching or on watch. Hoist your dinghy every night. Outboards (a.k.a. machines) are very nickable. The tour to the unesco world heritage site at Kilwa Island is very worth doing – go to the TAWA office and get a permit and they will arrange a guide.
