There is no nightlife in Sengerema! That is, most men go out after dark and start drinking beers at the bars, but that is not an option for white people - at least not girls. You WILL get hazzle unless you are together with locals and the reputation that follows is not good. I always went to Mwanza in stead, where there actually IS night life and where it is not frowned upon.

Go down to the "sokoni" (market) and walk around the dukas and see all the wonderful kangas and fabrics. It's SOOO cheap if you want to buy these fabrics or have a dress custom made for your exact measurements. The tailors are actually good, and they can make justa about anything. Talk to them about what you like, have them measure you and settle for a price. You can usually pick up a dress the next day if you are in a hurry, but if you need a full dress it might take a couple of days or a week. A tailormade skirt typically costs around 3000 shillings. You bring the fabric yourself.

Considering the fact that the only people who go to Sengerema are Tanzanians or mzungo who work there (which is around 4 or 5 people), it can't come as a surprise that there are absolutely no tourist traps in Sengerema. And that is what makes it wonderful!
