Do they have modern conveniences in Tanzania?
As a former British and German colony, Tanzania has many of the modern conveniences you would find in the western world, such as air conditioning, large grocery stores, ATMs, and modern hospitals. However, during our time in the villages and the other rural areas, you can expect a much simpler lifestyle. Villages often can support themselves by growing their own vegetables and selling them at local markets for income. Agriculture is a big part of Tanzanian life. Few people can afford cars, so most people travel by foot, bicycle and public bus. Western food, bottled water and Coca-Cola can all be found throughout Tanzania.
