Written by a Tanzania Native, Not a Tourist

This isn't another guidebook written by someone who visited for a week. This is real, lived experience from someone who was born here and has helped thousands of visitors navigate Tanzania successfully.

Isaiah Nyalali

Founder & Creator Tanzania Native

Born and raised in Dar es Salaam, I've spent my entire life in Tanzania. For years, I watched tourists arrive excited for their safari or beach vacation, only to get exploited, confused, and frustrated in their first few hours.

After building my tech company SeLink and personally helping over 4,200 international visitors, I realized the problem: there was no practical, honest guide for those critical first 48 hours when you're most vulnerable.

So I created KaribuKit—everything I wish every visitor knew before stepping off the plane. Real prices. Real contacts. Real cultural insights. No tourist traps.

"I created KaribuKit because I was tired of seeing tourists get overcharged and lost on their first day. The real challenge in Tanzania isn’t the safari—it’s knowing how things actually work. Every taxi driver knows you don’t know the local fare, every SIM vendor spots an opportunity, and every small cultural slip marks you as an outsider. KaribuKit changes that. With the right insights, you can arrive and move like a local—confident, informed, and treated fairly. Experience Tanzania the way it’s meant to be: with respect, fairness, and real connection."

Everything You Need to Know

How is this different from other Tanzania travel guides?

This isn't a tourism guide about safaris and hotels. It's an arrival guide written by a local Tanzanian who's seen tourists get exploited daily. I share the insider knowledge that prevents overcharging, cultural mistakes, and bureaucratic confusion in your first critical 48 hours.

What exactly is the Visitor's Insurance requirement?

Tanzania recently made visitor's insurance mandatory for Zanzibar ($44), and mainland Tanzania will follow soon. I provide the complete step-by-step application process, required documents, and where to apply to avoid delays at entry points.

Is this guide updated with current information?

Yes! As a local who lives here, I update the guide every 3 months with current prices, new regulations, SIM card deals, and any changes in procedures. You'll receive all updates automatically.

Will this work for both Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar?

Absolutely! Complete arrival coverage for all major airports (DAR, JRO, ZNZ, MWZ), ferry terminals, and the cultural differences between mainland and island life. You'll be prepared for both destinations.

Can I use this guide offline?

Yes! The PDF works offline on any device. I also include emergency contact cards, offline maps, and key phrases you can screenshot or print before you travel.

What if I'm not satisfied with the guide?

All sales are final due to the instant digital nature. However, I'm confident this guide will save you more money on day one than it costs. It's based on real experience helping thousands of international visitors.
