A variety of local Indian, Mediterranean, mainland, and Chinese culinary styles are offered in addition to the traditional nearby and Tanzanian spread. A thick porridge made from maize flour, served in the many restaurants in the town, is an Ethiopian delight that poses a serious challenge to Ugali. The preferred breakfast options among locals include bubbled cassava, sweet potatoes, and grilled bananas (ndizichoma). Nyama Choma (grilled meat) is a local favorite on the meat spread, but there are also kebabs to pique your curiosity.

To begin any conversation, smile and say “Jambo!” in a cheerful manner. In many cases, learning a few Swahili words in Tanzanian language will help break the ice. The best time to visit Tanzania is in the summer (June to September), when temperatures are at their coolest and many hotels and lodges are highly crowded, especially in July and August.
