Tanzanians are well known for their friendly, laid-back attitude. In most cases you will be humbled by their hospitality despite the fact that most people are a lot poorer than you. As you travel in the touristy areas, you will probably attract your fair share of souvenir hawkers and beggars. Remember that these are poor people who are trying to earn money to feed their families. If you aren't interested then say so, but try and remain polite.
- Make a copy of your passport and keep it in your luggage.

- Don't wear jewelry.
- Don't carry too much cash with you.
- Wear a money belt that fits under your clothes.
