We went to Tanzania a couple of years ago and loved it. We didn't use Air Tanzania, but savoured the delights of Precision Air and criss crossed the Serengeti with Coastal Airlines. We ended up in Zanzibar, and if you want to experience the full chaos of an African airport, that's the place to sample it 🙂. It was a great holiday, wonderful country and lovely people, I'll be interested to hear how you see it.

1:36 When the lady said "Mzunguke" Noel probably thought she said something about a white man 😂 "Mzungu" means "a white person" in Swahili "Mzunguke" means "Go around" Edit: And if you are curious; yes the words are related. Early white explorers and missionaries used to "go around" seemingly aimlessly hence the natives named them "Mzungu" which loosely translates to "someone who goes around".

The cabin seems fairly quiet but looks a bit snug, and I'm not too crazy about the overhead screens. Like you, I prefer the Dreamer or some other Jumbo for long flights with the infotainment right in front of me.

I'd take it over a 737 (Max or otherwise) any day, the cabin width and seat width date all the way back to the 707 days when people were skinnier and smoked all the time. The seats on this are an inch wider than those ancient Boeings, I think it's time the 737 was replaced altogether.
