Apologies for the delay - am in Dodoma, got here on the 27th but was terribly jet lagged because of a late-night flight.  Finally getting near a healthy sleep schedule! My visa is currently only a 3-month business visa - I want to give myself a tiny bit more time before I fully commit to a...

Hey Wilddogs, This is not really an ADV-specific moto question, but: I've become fond of good African leather in my boots for off-bike wear - something about y'all's cows, maybe, but the leather is really excellent quality, feels great to the touch, and looks lekker in a natural color. Got...

Watching this now as I am drafting up my dream trip from Tanzania through to the Cape, and back, and so I am consuming as much Africa-related moto content as possible. The second season is a substantial step up in quality from the first, which was already a fun little thing - y'all talk a lot...

Less than 2 months til I head to TZ - steve and roburt, if you know of anyone selling a bike in solid condition around a price point of $1.5-2k USD or about 3-5 million shillings (preferably a Honda and 250-400ccs) please keep me informed via message, because that is about what I can afford...

Good to hear! Appreciate it. The other tricky business I recently learned of will be that I cannot own my own vehicle per my work contract, and have to get approval by a higher-up. Based on precedent from other people I've talked to, I'll probably be able to say something like "hey I will buy...

As a quick update, I have survived the interview process and now have a job offer. I am still working through visa and permits, but it looks like I should be in country by mid-July if all goes well.

I've seen a couple of decently clean early '00s model XR250s on Kupatana classifieds, but that's clean by TZ standards haha (I'd pay about two-thirds to half the price in the USA for bikes of similar quality!), plus the listings are almost six months old by now and I'm not going to be there til...

Looking around for mechanics and the closest thing I could find at all with an internet presence is the CMC Land Rover shop in Mbeya P.O.BOX 70, Mbeya, Tanzania Krume Avenue 255 25 2503090 [email protected] At the very least, maybe they know a guy?

Very glad to see this thread exists - while I am more interested in something like an XR250L for simplicity and ease of maintenance, it is good to know where the resources for TZ are as I may be moving there within the next year
