In regards to the political climate, honestly the media depiction almost frightened me into cancelling the trip. From actually being on the ground tho, I think it’s bullshyt propaganda. I just got back from a tour and asked the guide about it. I can’t explain it as eloquently as he did, but the gist of what he was saying is that the opposition is going to complain because by definition that’s their job. Yes like anywhere on this earth, there’s issues, but they’re overstated.
The only Swahili I know is mambo, poa, karibu and Asante and I’ve been fine.
All I’ve eaten is seafood since I’ve arrived and it’s been great. There’s a big all 10 miles outside of where I was staying in Dar, but I didn’t make it out there.
I’m gonna post the info on travel hacking later in the thread. Plan and make it happen, breh. Life is too short to not do what you want to do.
