The city is beatiful, because of its attractive parks; when you are in this place you will feel like staying here forever, the government should make sure that the transportation and safety of the city is good.

The best town in Tanzania but very expensive. Security for tourists is kind of scary. But generally people are friendly. As far as accomodation is concerned, very good.
