Life in Tanzania can be very reasonable, this obviously depends on what you are going for and whether it is used locally or is just for tourists. In order to get the best prices you so have to bargain/barter, in most places this is a very normal activity and all part of the fun. There are some fixed price venues (restaurants, bars and boutique type shops).
We thought we could help to give you a little flavour of what you could expect:
What you would expect to pay for a…
- local night out: 20,000/= (£10) for local food (meat and carbs) and many drinks!
- Western food: pizza – 7,000/= (£3.50).
- Soft Drinks (a.k.a. Coca-Cola) 300- 500/= (15-25p)
- Bottled Water: 300/= (15p) and large: 600/= (30p)
- Cold beer: 1,200/= (60p)
- Warm beer: (same as above!!!)
- Taxi: this is dependant on… where you are going, where you are, how much Swahili you can speak, the price of fuel (notably this goes up “everyday!”), what you are wearing, the weather, who you are with, whether or not its lunch time and so on…!!! (we will put together a list of useful numbers and distribute them to all who need!)
