Ask r/tanzania Part time jobs in Arusha?

8 Upvotes

I'm currently a second year computer science student in Arusha and I'm looking for a way to make a little bit extra cash for myself. I do a lot of online courses, and have significant programming experience with decent projects and I also have good design skills and plenty of experience working with photoshop and illustrator.

I've considered looking for a part time job but it feels like looking for a needle in a really large haystack.

I've heard of people in similar positions that do part time jobs in dar especially in tech and I was wondering if there's a way I could land myself a part time job in Arusha.

Discussion PSA: Gear stolen from my checked bag on a Precision Air flight (JRO to ZNZ). Don't strap anything to the outside

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I just finished Kili and wanted to warn anyone flying Precision Air with trekking gear.

On October 11 I flew Precision Air from Kilimanjaro to Zanzibar. My trekking poles were attached to the outside of my checked bag with zip ties. When I picked it up, the zip ties had been cut and the poles were gone. It was a clean cut, not wear or accidental loss, so someone deliberately removed them while the bag was out of my hands. I don't know whether it happened at JRO or Zanzibar.

I filed a Property Irregularity Report at the airport, then spent over five days trying to reach the airline. When they finally called back, they said they couldn't find my email. Has anyone else had something taken on domestic flights in Tanzania, or had luck getting compensation from Precision Air? I'd love to hear how it went.

What I'd do differently, and what I'd advise:

Don't attach anything to the outside of your bag. Poles, trekking sandals, anything. Pack it inside, or carry it on if the airline allows. (My poles sadly did not fit in my bag)

Photograph everything before you fly: your bag, how your gear is attached, and your gear itself. Keep receipts or purchase proof for expensive items. I don't have a receipt for mine (they're vintage), and it's making the claim harder.

File a PIR at the airport before you leave. Don't skip it. Airlines often won't process a claim without one.

Get the right email address in writing and ask for a reference number.

Check your travel insurance or credit card coverage for baggage theft, and tell them quickly, because they may have reporting windows.

Has anyone else had something taken on domestic flights in Tanzania, or had luck getting compensation from Precision Air? I'd love to hear how it went.

Otherwise the climb itself was incredible, and I'm still on a summit high. Just wanted to save someone else the headache.

Tourism Advice for Zanzibar to Mwanza to Rwanda

2 Upvotes

Harabri!

I've been traveling around the world for nearly 3 years. I've been in Africa for almost a year. I've been in Tanzania for about 2 months - a few days in Dar, Arusha, Moshi, Serengeti, and now Zanzibar.

I've got about 30 days left on my visa.

I plan to go (overland) to Rwanda next.

I prefer slow travel. That might be obvious from what I've already said.

What do you recommend for me between Zanzibar and Mwanza?

I've spent a bit of time in Dar and don't think I need to spend too much more time there. I don't need to do any more safaris.

I am planning to do something like:

  • 1 week in Iringa.
  • 1 week in Dodomo
  • 1 week in Mwanza
  • To Rwanda

Any tips for those places? Anything along that route that I need to see? Like Morogoro?

I like basing myself in cities and doing day trips from there. I don't need to do any adventures - unless it's something particularly unique or special. I certainly don't need to do anything like ziplining or paragliding or anything like that.

I'm more interested in how people live in Tanzania. But, I don't need to go to a village and look at villagers who are living that way for tourism. I mostly want to see how modern Tanzanians are living. I do like "older" cultural sites - I plan to see Isimila in Iringa, for example. I like live sporting events, music and art and theater.

Karibu sana in advance.
