Overview

Oyster bay area is pretty safe. Tons of consulates and beautiful beaches nearby! I recommend carrying credit cards to pay for meals and things. If you stay at Oyster Bay Suites, there's a bank below with an ATM and they can exchange funds for you. Due to it's religious background (islam) the city is pretty conservative and safe. The only thing I warn is that if you walk around or while you're sitting in your car, don't have your phone out for long. Bikers can come by and snatch it.

Transportation

Oyster Bay helps organize a driver. I recommend getting a driver through them to move around the city safely. They also have private companies that offer this for you.

Safari!

A cool thing to do while there is go on safari. I went to Mikumi National Reserve, and it was incredible. I recommend bringing long clothes and bug sprays because the flies were CRAZY. You can take the bus, but I recommend getting a chartered flight.

Must Sees!

While you're in Tanzania, I HIGHLY recommend Zanzibar. It's a short ferry ride from Tanzania and very worth it.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Sol
Hey my name is Aderinsola Akintilo, you can call me Sol. I'm addicted to traveling and have been to every continent. My goal is to travel to every country and take my family with me. I realized that I have so much content and information about different cities that are just stored on my phone, and I want to share that info with folks who may not be as comfortable planning or traveling! I used to be a rugged traveler, but recently (2022) I've started ensuring that I stay in comfortable (semi-luxurious) places once I land. I'm a great mix of energy, my travels always include adventures (sky diving, volcano hiking, snorkeling, surfing, etc). And equal amounts of relaxation: spas, eating, walking around, learning the local language and culture.
