What should I pack when moving to Dar es Salaam?

"When moving to Dar es Salaam, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing, as the climate is hot and humid. Include a mix of short-sleeved shirts, long-sleeved shirts, shorts, and long pants to accommodate various activities and dress codes. Bring a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings and air-conditioned spaces. Pack comfortable and sturdy footwear, such as sandals, walking shoes, and closed-toe shoes for more formal occasions. Don't forget to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Bring a reusable water bottle, as tap water is not safe to drink in Tanzania. You may also want to pack a water purification system or water purification tablets. Pack a basic first aid kit, including band-aids, pain relievers, antiseptic wipes, and any prescription medications you may need. It's also a good idea to bring insect repellent and anti-malarial medication, as malaria is a risk in Tanzania. Bring a power adapter and voltage converter, as Tanzania uses a different electrical system than many other countries. You may also want to pack a portable charger for your electronic devices. Pack important documents, such as your passport, visa, travel insurance, and any necessary vaccination records. Make sure to have photocopies of these documents as well. Bring toiletries, such as toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner, soap, and any other personal care items you may need. You may also want to pack a small supply of toilet paper, as it may not always be available in public restrooms. Pack a travel-sized laundry detergent, as you may need to hand-wash your clothes during your stay. Bring a small umbrella or lightweight rain jacket, as Dar es Salaam experiences heavy rainfall during the rainy season. Pack a few entertainment items, such as books, a deck of cards, or a travel-sized game, to help pass the time during downtime or long journeys. Finally, consider packing a few small gifts or souvenirs from your home country to share with new friends or hosts in Tanzania," remarked another expat who made the move to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
