Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $118 a day this sits right at the $105 median for water & sailing. It is cheaper than 8 of the 24 water & sailing options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in Tanzania
- 2 other options in Tanzania, starting with swahili language in Zanzibar from $900.
- When to go
- Workable across 7 months of the year — Jun-Sep, Dec-Feb. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 7 days, but the honest range is 4 to 14. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
