In this area markets are filled with local crafts and craftsmen at work. Craft stands and markets can be spotted all around this town.

Tanzania sports many curio shops - the shops where you can buy the local crafts such as tribal jewelry, batik and wood carvings etc. Nothing will have a price on it - it is up to you (and you are expected) to bargain.

What to pay: Pay the seller a small fee for taking the picture

Suggestion: rent a taxi for the day and have them stay with you and bring you back to your hotel.

Taking a local guide is a good idea. Take care to leave all valuables behind and keep an eye out for pickpockets.

Beware of snatch and grab, con artists, or groups of people following you. The best advice for a tourist is to stay in city centre, know where you are at all times, and pretend you know where you're going (even if you don't).

Don't carry large quantities of money or passports on the street, and the general rule is that anyone trying to talk to you (there will be many) is up to no good.

Scams abound. In recent years, crime has significantly reduced, though one should still be wary.

Note that it is illegal to export products that contain any elements of elephant, rhino or sea turtle
