hello traveling sista/ always a pleasure/ i am on the East coast of the US waiting to return to Ghana/ if anyone watching lives in New Jersey i used ACC shipping co in Blackwood New Jersey and they charge a flat rate for boxes &180.00 and 2000.00 for containers/ ask for Kwame his number is 302-897-3907
Peace family! Thank you for sharing this information. Is that flat rate for Ghana or flat rate for anywhere on the continent?? Either way, GRRAT INFO. Thank you so much.
I am worried about container duty fee when it arrives in Ghana.
@@travelingsista its a flat rate to Ghana/ please contact Kwame about other countries thank you
Aye!! I live in Blackwood! Small world! ❤️🌺
@@sgreeni you don't pay duty on boxes or personal belongings
Dear family, you are going to Tanzania. Tanzania is a different country not a different planet. They will have all of the things you have in the United States if you have the money to buy them. Expect for the items she suggested in the video 📹. 😝
Ruby Williams LoL 😆 I’m thinking the same thing.
Miss Ruby- we have to declutter/decolonialize R minds...Thanks!
You said what I was thinking
@I.N. Turrner good information
I cannot tell you how valuable this information is today. I was consulting with shipping company on my vehicles, electronics and household items. Basically, I am coming with my clothes and my dogs. Lolz...and my paintings.
I’m glad I could help! There are things people should know for sure. This marks the 2nd video in a sort of “series” that I’m doing on must know/ must have information on moving to TZ.
Please hit me up on WhatsApp. I have a sista out here who I can link you with who brought her dog. She can give you most, if not al of the details.
@@travelingsista thank you very much, will do.
@@KarensWorld88 I was thinking to fly them to Tanzania from the US by way of Germany. My end trip is Ghana, it would be great to drive west to Ghana with them. I don't know if that is even possible.
How do you take your dogs I need info please
Uganda has plenty of Shea Butter. You can get in a bucket and have it sent by bus
This was how my To Do List looked like!!! I had sweaters and turtle necks on my list as well as haircare products😍 I'm excited!!! I don't know much about cold weather here in Jamaica so I'm excited to utilize sweaters and stuff. Thank you Traveling Sista. You're practical and helpful!!! I can't wait to contact you. Say hi to Zora. Love her energy!!!!
I would never bother ship household furnitures, honestly you can have custom made furnitures that are so much better quality for waaay cheaper and then just buy the rest locally.
People should understand that in most cases (90% of the time), you're better off selling all your possessions (car included) and taking your clothes and the few gadgets (phone, laptop, etc) you'll need. It won't be worth your sanity to ship all your American possessions over to Tanzania. It will bring nothing but unnecessary stress and anxiety. You wanna move abroad as light as possible.
I disagree with this. It is very difficult to find quality things here. New residents can bring their personal effects in once without duty. As long as it is done through an agent under sixty days after residency permits granted.
@@NKOpare I disagree with u too. Csar is right. They will have to make the move as light as possible. High quality stuffs that you are talking about can be resumed in phones, tablets, laptops, small portative gadgets like radios, hair clippers, cameras, drones etc. But you will not tell them that they will have to bring tumble dryers, lifting machines, sofas, bikes, cars etc! No! Unnecessary too expensive to afford. Even tv's are not very necessary to bring up. Because in Dar es Salaam as well as in most of the african capital cities you can find them in good quality: 50"-55", Flat, curvy etc. Travelling sista said it all already. So yeah, travel as light as possible!
Actually it was under six months.
unlocked phones are also on Amazon at various price points. Instead of Shea butter, try Moringa oil which is everywhere in TZ.
This is helpful information to everyone want to visit Tanzania.🇹🇿
Thank you 🙏🏽 ❤️ so much for this very useful information. My son doesn’t believe me when I told him about the electric/ power grid difference 💁🏽♀️ so ima let him plug 🔌 that PS4 in and let him learn and say his goodbyes to video games and finally grow up lol 😂 can’t wait to make our move ❤️🙏🏽 coming soon
Shalom Greetings please don't do that to that lil man; teach him about how it work and how to use the step down method to preserve his game and other things. Enjoy your day
I would love to meet you. I lived in Marangu as a volunteer nurse for one year in 2018 and fell in love with the country and also met my husband who is still living there and building our home in Himo area. We were married in Arusha last year. I will be returning for at least one month next February. You are giving me so much hope for my future there. I can relate to so many of your experiences you described in the video. I am trying to learn Swahili more and more before I arrive. You are such an inspiration to me. Keep the videos coming 🤗
Facts on the the unlocked phone !!
We not Getting any vlog?? 🌝 wanna see baby zora
The standard voltage in the US is 120Volts at 60HZ , while Tanzania uses 250Volts at 50HZ , so definitely if you come with your electronics here (Blenders /juicers) they will fry...
✨🥰✨Hey Sis!!! Awesome tips & reminds me of when ES moved from the US to the Motherland with a couple suitcases UNDER/AT weight capacity. So like someone said, grab your clothes, personal items & electronics and leave everything else. What about a Vita Mix...I’m sure you must have those there. I no longer use a juice but I use that and a paint strainer bag, it works wonders without all the clean up of various parts. 😂😂😂 I’m all for simple. Great, great video. Hugs & much love to you & your entire family. ✨🥰✨
7:16 long johns in Africa??? Who knew? Great info Sis!
Thanks for all that you're doing to help us transition! You are invaluable!!
Do you know about any online stores (like Amazon or Etsy) that serve Tanzania and Kenya? Preferably Not Jumia.
Thanks, Sis. I will be reaching our to you shortly. We are coming very soon.
Yes sister shea trees mainly grow in the savanas of west Africa. I grew up harvesting them and shea leave soup is the best soup on earth it cures many illnesses as well.
My first time here...im Ugandan living and working in Kenya.
Lovely sista.
Hey sis!! Thanks for doing this video even though we talked about it. I appreciate you!! Peace and Light. 💕
all so helpful - i didn't know about the shea butter tho. picked up a small glass jar of it in Ethiopia (airport) on my way to Tanzania last month. especially appreciate tips on suitcase &/or shipping a box. literally, laughed out loud when you said "really, what do you think people do out here?" (on the cleaning supplies....been decolonizing my mind these past few years & waiting for the u.s. to leave Puerto Rico). thank you for it all, sis 💖
Please make more videos. We miss you. You’re the OG of what’s popular right now
This is my second time watching you. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the great video. I usually use the large priority boxes that are free at USPS, the price is usually fixed and I think their weight limit is pretty high. They also automatically sent through priority so it takes about a week or 2 to get to DAR.
Do they have air fryers or a dehydrators for dehydrating food? This is a great video by the way.
Voltage differences.US at 115V while almost all of the continent uses 230V. American mains frequency is 60Hz, vs 50 Hz in Africa. Get universal voltage equipment or best buy local.
Thank you for all you do to share and help others learn about Tanzania 🇹🇿 💚
Heck I spend 120 just to Milwaukee from Philadelphia so I see that as cheap!
I always appreciate your practical and informative info. sis thank you I really appreciate you for everything you do to keep us inform. You are my favorite youtuber. much blessings and peace. say hello to freddie and zora.
Greetings Queen glad to see your back .. LUV LUV the single!! You answered so many questions thank you!!
Very informative videos so glad you shared it FrFr Keep them coming!💞
Hey TS!
Very glad to get another helpful update from you. Can't wait to get back to the continent.
You are right, it gets quite chilly in Arusha. Monduli caught me out there on my first visit.
Thanks again for all you do!
Look! Monduli is one of those super cold areas I was talking about. I’ve been there a couple of times and I was taken by surprise. SO cold. And come back! It’s where we belong.
Great 👍🏾 information as always 😘💕Love this 🤗
All of the items you mentioned which are hard to find are possible business opportunities for anyone looking to start a business.
Hello there from nj-usa... Peace Sis..
I’ve been really stressed about this, thanks Sis! Is it better to do barrels or just get the extra suitcase and regular mail?
Get a quote from the local shipping company that you’re using. If the barrels are cheaper then go with that. But the suitcase is the better option to me.
Hello sista, thank you for all the information you have provided. Can you speak on using our American appliances with solar? Cost, do's and don'ts
I ❤️ your channel content.
Thanx for all your work fam!!! ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
That's a good information nice video
I was definitely worrying about my contact lenses!
I have alot of home goods from Macys that I need to bring.. 🤣😂🤣🤣
Hello Traveling Sista! I'm here in Atlanta, GA wanting to come to the Motherland but after finish watching your video, it really make me want to come to the Motherland. One thing, though, I'm a little confused after watching the video about what to bring and what not to bring because I have a lot of stuff mostly for doing business/generating income. I think what you said about shipping makes a lot of sense but please give me a feed back if you have any suggestions in mind. Please and Thanks....Love and Blessings to You!!!
Before the airlines shutdown due to the pandemic I paid $200 each for additional luggages, now I'vehear that they don't allow carry on bags. I know people who travel with 5 suitcases to avoid drama at ports. I can see myself making multiple trips like that. You must have peeped my list of natural cleaning products & natural grooming products like organic pads. I would be content to ship a stash.
We have Shia butter in Uganda 😊
Excellent tip on the suitcase! Love to the Kishimbo Family💙💚💛✌🏾
Love to you too sis! Can’t wait to finally meet and welcome you face to face 💪🏾♥️♥️
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
🥰
Great video, and great advice. This helps a lot! As far as the phones are concerned.....would a prepaid phone help? I use one here in the states to cut down on expenses. Also, as far as shipping is concerned...I've built up quite a library over the years (both fiction AND nonfiction), do you know if it would be very expensive to ship books over? Thanks again for the great information in your video! :-)
Thank you for the information.
Wow no Shea Butter!?! And my Vitamix is my baby😔
I was going to ask about bleach. 😆
Glad to hear it! 16:18
Hey my beautiful sister miss you. Thank you for alway giving us the tea!
Hot tea always!!
Yes absolutely! Just hit me up on what’s app
No problem ♥️ I put my WhatsApp at the end of the video and I’m the description section of the video
No problem 🥰😘
Can u possibly provide a link for power adapters that will work for American and Tanzania plugs?
Thank you for sharing.
Much thanks sis!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Traveling Sista...do they have crock pots and ammonia? I am so proud of you. You are such a good role model. I wish we could communicate through email as I want to come there to go to State University of Zanzibar...How is traveling during COVID 19?..Are Americans able to travel there now?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You been to Mwanza, L Victoria?
Dang! No Amazon. There's gotta be a way to make this be beneficial...
Yep! I’ve heard that there is a drop shipping company here but every time I ask about it no one seems to know.
@@travelingsista Wow... That sucks. Definitely something worth l👀king into.
Hello, jasmine Ana is a UA-camr in Ghana she has a hair line product. Check her channel for the website. She does shipping to.
Ok so I got your contact refills...... if I get the right ones👀😁😁
High quality stuff is expensive and hard to find here in Tanzania. If you are going to become a resident you can bring your personal effects in without duty one time. Don’t get rid of your best stuff. You will spend many multiples of what you sold it for and get lower quality. Buy your own shipping container and have it professionally packed and climate controlled stored until you send for it.
Yes I totally agree. If you are getting residency and if you can afford to ship it, then ship it. But u haven’t had too many problems with finding good quality appliances here for around the same price as in the states.
Peace sis
Peace and light to you 🥰🙏🏾
Shemeji watsuup!..thanks for the information very helpful especially for us whom have been away for so long,thanks
Wacha umama.!
@@kiwishbj1 Umama kivipi ndugu mbona matusi tena!
🤣🤣🤣lmao
Ya’ll welcome
What about buying a Converter?! Would that work
It may work just check out the specs.
My contact prescriptions are crazy high so I’m a little nervous about not being able to find contacts after I run out
U can find them AFrica isn't another planet people wear contacts
TS, how is witchcraft in Tanzania, i know it is prevalent in west and central Afrika.
Family! That’s a whole nother video! I really do want to touch on this. It’s in the line- up for sure.
I don’t gather that either one of us are afraid, but it’s something that has to be tread upon lightly here in TZ.... a lot of our indigenous religious practices were demonized & wiped away... colonialism ya know?
Very useful
Yayyyy! New video! 😊
😜♥️
@@travelingsista Heads up: I sent you an email and text. 😉
So will my phone charger and laptop charger not fit into the electrical outlets there? I'm coming in November
Can i bring my laptop to the airport to Tanzania?
Yes you can either bring it on-board as a carry-on or pack it in your suitcase.
Yes absolutely.
Try Amazon's solar charger online
WOW, PEOPLE, AMERICA HAS 110 WATTS, TANZANIA IS 220 WATTS, and yes your tv will always work
What is the electricity source? Bring a converter or no?
To be safe... yes. But they do have step-up/ step- down converters here too though.
@@travelingsista thank you!
You’re welcome.
How's the weather there during the month of November?
Anyone interested to come to Tanzania n need help, hit me up.
What about food, like cornflakes?
How do i get my dogs there.😭
Great video sis! Zora was surely doing the most 😆
As per usual 😂 that’s my baby for sure ♥️
Where in TZ are you. I came just last week
Do they have mannequins for sewing?
Peace. I do believe I’ve seen a few.
Greetings Traveling Sista, do they have vinegar and baking soda?
Peace sis! Yes they do.
I have a step down transformer will that work?
A buck-boost converter works.
Hey sis i appreciate your videos and believe this movement is divine bc I'm an african American man with a wife and 2 kids looking to migrate but was wondering is there a community out there that you have seen that identify as hebrews or israelites??Just curious bc it's a well known growing thing here in the 🇺🇸
Peace family. Yes I believe there are a couple of families actually.
good question. I have contacted one person who is there already
All I'm shipping are barrels. I'm selling my furniture.
Hi how much are each barrels and what company are you using, and do you need someone to get the barrels out of port for you when you get there. Thanks
thank you for the video! how about natural cleaning products and organic products in general?
Mmm... not so much. I have seen very few but at a high cost. But you could always use things like white vinegar, lemon juice, water and a dash of essential oil for a general cleaner.
Traveling Sista indeed!
Thank you for this useful video. I have a question about Christmas decorations, is it easy to buy Christmas decor?
No not at all. The do celebrate it, but not in the capitalist- heavy way that we do in the states. No one decorates their homes, wears Santa hats 🎅 or throws ugly Christmas sweater parties.
I've been in TZ last Christmas and I did see some Christmas decorations, however they're plastic and not really stylish. The Christmas trees are funny looking, but in a way I found it funny and it suited the environment. It felt like they did it for the foreigners. The Maasai beaded Christmas decorations are very cute though!
It's not in our culture to do so. Besides, money is a little tight, people prefer to care for love ones than spend it on Christmas decorations. But you can still find decorated Christmas tree in people houses. The one who can afford it. I live in US, I barely see Africans have decorated there houses other than Christmas tree. I myself never did. 😊
What about pets? Cats or dogs?
Yes you can bring them as well. I know a sister here who brought her anal dog on the plane no problem.

Hi nice vids, very educational am big fan cause yr good looking woman and l wish you don't have ta tattoo on yr nice skin .. hahaha

Do I need 2 bring a woman or can I pick up a few there?😂
@Obasi Amin
You are sick.
@@johnsongodwin4293 Very sick
Of course it was a joke. I guess some of the subscribers to this channel have no sense of humor.😂
