Learning basic Swahili greetings like 'Jambo' (Hello), 'Habari za asubuhi' (Good morning) or 'Karibu tena' (Welcome again) can help in establishing a friendly relationship with locals.

Avoid revealing clothing, especially when visiting mosques or traditional markets. Tanzanian culture values modesty.

Bargaining is expected and even encouraged in local markets. However, be respectful and never demand an unreasonably low price.

If offered food or drink, it's polite to accept but if you don't want it, say 'Asante sana, hakuna barazaa' (Thank you very much, I'm full).

Eating with your right hand is common in Tanzania. If you're left-handed, use a fork or spoon when dining.

Respect public spaces and avoid loud conversations or displays of affection in public areas.

Ask permission before taking photographs of locals, especially in rural areas or traditional settings.

Tips are appreciated in restaurants and hotels. Rounding up the bill or leaving 10% is considered acceptable.

Respect the queue when boarding buses or daladalas (minibuses). Be mindful of personal space.

When visiting a local home, remove shoes before entering and offer gifts like food or small tokens.

Gifts are appreciated but avoid giving items related to alcohol or pork since these may not be consumed by Muslims.

Respect local rules about swimming areas and wear appropriate clothing when visiting beaches.

Negotiate the price before hopping into taxis or motorbike taxis. Always wear a helmet when using motorbike taxis.

Joining in a traditional Tanzanian dance during cultural events can be a great way to connect with locals.

Participate in local festivals like Zanzibar International Film Festival or Karanga Cultural Festival to immerse yourself in the local culture.
