'Mode': AROUND
Category: Bus
Getting TO/AROUND: To really gain the true 'experience' of a local in Moshi (and around Tanzania, in general), hop on the local mode of transportation, the DalaDala.
DalaDalas are minivans converted into a makeshift bus that piles in as many locals (and all their goods!) as they could possibly keep, and transports them around town.
For something like 65 cents (U.S.) you can hop in a van at the various stops around town and it can take you anywhere you want to go.
Takes some getting used to, as you can imagine.
It was a riot seeing these DalaDalas zipping through the turnpikes with piles of passengers (legs and feet hanging out the windows), and it wasn't uncommon to see folks 'lap' it inside.
It was a cheap mode of transportation....so cheap even the chickens used it to get from 'Point A to Point B!'

Haha.. bargaining, am learning it again. The funny part is that you don't want to really do it given the rate (Western standards). But then, you start, think you've got a good price to only learn afterwards it was a ripping off stuff! | sachara Sun Jun 18, 2006 18:03 UTC
Lovely Moshi page ! Reading this page proves I have to come back to Africa as soon as possible. Dancing and drumming, I love it. During my first visit to the villages of the Volta region in Ghana we danced almost every night. | sayedaburas Tue Aug 16, 2005 06:23 UTC
