The Cost of Living in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania

In this video, I share my living expenses in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania with my daughters. You can live in Tanzania for much less than this, but as an African American professional woman with two young daughters, this is the cost of living for us on average.

As a native Tanzanian who lives in Dar es Salaam since birth, This is rich people expenses for Tanzania, but for an american this is very cheap. Great content

[mambovipi]

That is astronomical. Most Tanzanians live on less than 10, 000 Tsh a day. I respect that you are giving your own perspective, but this is kind of like Bill Gates telling everyone how much it costs to live in the US. I mean, over six million shillings a month? That's top 1% in Tz right there. But the quality you get is certainly more for your money than living in the US! Congrats!

Hello Ashley, this is truly a great review! As a Tanzanian who has been living in the UK for the past four years, I agree with most of what you said. Sometimes it's very hard to wrapp my head around the fact that your household monthly expenses (necessities+luxuries) don't go above 2500$ while renting a room, as a single individual, in the UK costs me around 800£, not including other living expenses like food, transportation, shopping, and entertainment. Life in Tanzania is very cheap and I think this should give more reasons for skilled/working foreigners to live in our country if at all they aim at finding places with affordable and reasonable cost of living.

Thank you for sharing. Tanzania is definitely so much cheaper than Kenya for the good quality of life you have on all aspects you touched.

Asante sana this was really informative especially for me a Black American starting my expat journey.

[charlesetienne]

I might move to TZ soon, looks promising listening to you.

I live in Australia and we pay $1600/month (2574428.64 Tanzanian shillings/month) for our rent ...and the food around $800/month (1287214.32 Tanzanian shillings/month).

...sounds much cheaper to live over there.

Awesome video! I'm a business man who is looking forward to make a pilgrimage to Africa and now Tanzania is on the table as a place to consider. Thank you so much!!

[saudiaspratt]

I'm new to your channel and We are considering Tanzania 🇹🇿. Thanks so much for the info.

[abeck]

Was in Dar 2021 and really loved it. Will be back Oct/Nov. Yes, your numbers look spot on. Thx again and Asante sana.

[jaymaka]

Just subbed. I love how you break things down especially how the most convenient places will be the most expensive and that it is a never ending process in learning where to get the best deals and as always mostly at the cost of convenience.

Thanks for this, loved it. I’ve visited several times and love it. Hopefully we’ll be moving soon. I wish more people understood that we have more options and opportunities in Africa than we think. Appreciate you for helping get the word out.

Girl you are glowing. I'm coming to Tanzania

[UmAmeenah]

Ok. When my Little is done with school i want to move to Tanzania! We are visiting next year with a friend from the area.

[solomonthell]

I'm in TZ right now, I still find most of Latin America to be cheaper from my experience.

[whatsmyname]

Thank for the Info. I've seen many videos regarding cost of living in Tanzania and everybody has their own story. The most consistent cost seems to be that of the internet. Thanks for sharing.

[Xoxoxoxoxoxoxmeow]

I love this and your channel! You have inspired me to think about moving. Please could you do a cost of living in South Africa. Thanks girl<3

Good stuff...my wife is Tanzanian and we visit Dar, Zanzibar and Tanga every summer with our two young children. We just got back last week and made the decision to retire there in about 10 years. Your vídeo explains everything very well.
