Bonjour,

Je viens d'锚tre recrut茅e pour travailler 脿 Dar es salam, vers la r茅gion de Coco beach, Msasani Road, j'ai surf茅 sur internet et lu des articles concernant la hausse de criminalit茅 dans la r茅gion. Je voulais avoir vos impressions 脿 ce sujet car je commence 脿 douter de mon projet de m'expatrier.

Vous sentez vous en s茅curit茅? Est ce que vous m锚me ou vos proches avez 茅t茅 victimes? Est ce que vous pensez que ce qu'on lit sur internet (cambriolage, vol 脿 main arm茅e, viol..) sont des faits isol茅s ou au contraire?

Merci d'avance pour vos retours

A lot depends on which suburb you live in or hang out in.聽 Where I live I walk home late after midnight alone without any worry.聽 It is the (ultra-) rich areas/suburbs that are less safe at night and at any time time when you are carrying a large bag聽聽It is very manageable with good advice and care given your locality.

I've just been hired to work at Msasani Road, near Coco beach and was really excited to come at Dar es salaam but as I was seeking information, I read many testimonies about the increasing criminality and the lack of safety so that I have many doubts now about my project moreover I'm coming alone so I imagine that I will be making a lot of activity lonely. What made me fear the most is the increasing of housebreaking.

As you are living at Dar, what is your feeling about the safety for a single woman?

Thank you for your help

hi,

I live In Dar and read your message and you mentioned聽 a good music scene.. I have been here for 6 months and have not seen any live bands, African music or afro jazz. Please tell me what you know, as the scene is not easy to come across. Thank you.Lynn

Hi Lynn

I recently had a back injury and am suffering fro sciatica at the moment otherwise I wouldd be happy to immediately introduce you to somme of the night life.聽 When I am a little better, maybe in a couple of weeks I will be delighted todo so.

The trinity Club in Oyster Bay often has live music and is popular with expats. Also Thai Village sometimes. Just about every suburb has or is near to a club that has DJs and occasionally live music.聽 Alliance Francaise and Goethe Institute hold or sponsor music programs and I just came back from a major one in Bagamoyo.聽 Every Friday evening I get a an email from Zoom that gives 'what's on' around the country.

There are also tango, swing and salsa classes that hold dances occasionally.

You can email me direct on musry_wshaa@yahoo.com.
