"The cost of living in Tanzania is generally considered to be quite low compared to other countries. However, the cost of living in the larger cities such as Dar es Salaam and Arusha is higher than in the rest of the country. The rental price for a nice 1 bedroom apartment in Tanzania is around $400 USD per month, while a nice 2 bedroom apartment is around $600 USD per month.
