What should I pack when moving to Arusha?

"When moving to Arusha, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing, such as cotton or linen, to stay comfortable in the warm climate. Make sure to include long-sleeved shirts and pants to protect yourself from mosquitoes and the sun. Bring a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings and a raincoat or umbrella for the rainy season. Pack comfortable and sturdy shoes for walking on uneven terrain, as well as sandals or flip-flops for more casual settings. Don't forget to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Bring any necessary prescription medications, as well as a basic first aid kit with items like band-aids, pain relievers, and any over-the-counter medications you may need. It's also a good idea to pack insect repellent and anti-malarial medication, as malaria is a risk in Tanzania. Pack a reusable water bottle and water purification tablets or a portable water filter, as tap water in Tanzania is not safe to drink. Bring non-perishable snacks and any specialty food items you may need, as they may be difficult to find in Arusha. Make sure to bring all necessary travel documents, such as your passport, visa, and any vaccination records. It's also a good idea to have photocopies of these documents in case they are lost or stolen. Pack a power adapter and voltage converter, as Tanzania uses a different type of electrical outlet and voltage than many other countries. Bring any necessary electronics, such as your phone, charger, and camera, as well as extra batteries and memory cards. Bring toiletries, such as toothpaste, shampoo, and soap, as well as any feminine hygiene products you may need. It's also a good idea to pack a quick-dry towel and a small laundry detergent for washing clothes by hand. Pack a small amount of local currency, Tanzanian shillings, for immediate expenses upon arrival, as well as a credit or debit card that works internationally. It's also a good idea to have a small stash of US dollars, as they are widely accepted in Tanzania. Finally, bring a sense of adventure and an open mind, as living in Arusha, Tanzania, will be a unique and exciting experience," commented one expat who made the move to Arusha, Tanzania.
