Dar Es Salaam - Post Report Question and Answers
Is it easy to make friends with locals here? Are there any prejudices or any ethnic groups who might feel uncomfortable here?
We have made local friends through church, but they aren’t besties. We don’t hang out throughout the week for work schedule differences and the economic divide in lifestyles. Even still they are fun people! - Nov 2022
I don’t know many people who make friends with locals. They are very friendly but it’s hard to find someone that matches your socio economic situation. Either these friends will be hitting you for money or the wealthy Tanzanians are living the life of a mega rich government official. However there is a huge expat community that is easy to dive in to and many clubs to meet people. There don’t seem to be many ethnic prejudices and people mix in well within the expat group. - Jul 2022
