My family and I are traveling to Tanzania/Kenya (we havent decided which yet depending upon whether or not the political problems in kenya settle) and I was just wondering what would be the best way to dress. It will be in the 90s and sunny and hot. I would just love to wear some tropical tanks and tube tops and shorts but im concerned about like sexual suggests from other people there or offending the muslim population. idk. or would it not ofend them considering im a tourist? what do you think?

Tanzania People & CultureTanzania is made up of 100 or so tribal groups of mainly Bantu origin. None of these groups comprise more than 10% of the population and this perhaps contributes to the tranquility the country has experienced. The most numerous groups are the Sukuma of Lake Victoria, Chaaga of Mount Kilimanjaro, Nyamwenzi of Tabora, Hehe of Iringa and the Gogo of Dodoma. What to WearTanzanians, in general, are modest people with deep cultural and traditional values. Hence, whatever you wear must be equally modest and respectful. Neither topless nor nudity is allowed at beaches or at any other public places. Along the coast temperatures may reach 32 degrees centigrade during the hottest months of January - March but as low as 18 degrees centigrade during June - August. Wear light cotton clothes. Sun cream, sunglasses and broad hats are essential for sunbathers along the beach.Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro of course requires special clothing and shoes. On safari, bright coloured clothing may get you in trouble with wild animals. If you are wise you will pack brown, beige and khaki clothing. Short sleeve shirts, shorts and trouser for men are sufficient. For ladies, short sleeve blouses, slacks and skirts are ideal though in the national parks and touristy places such as Arusha and Dar es Salaam you may get along with shorts (not too short) and trousers.

modesty is a good approach in this part of the world but....light Cotton cloth will any way make your day as the sun his hot and you wouldn't like to get toasted anyway.on the beaches it is quite well to wear swimsuit. (but always with the top on!)
