[OSGeo-Discuss] Foss4g Dar es Salaam - Accommodations

[Mark Iliffe]

Dear Andrea,

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having issues - first of all, we have published guidance for travelling in Dar es Salaam: https://2018.foss4g.org/attending/#visiting-dar <https://2018.foss4g.org/attending/#visiting-dar>. This includes advice and awareness on the local environment, first of all - please do not be afraid! Safety is a priority for us!

To directly respond to you:

You can book additional nights on our booking system.
We will be using 3* Peacock Hotel/Holiday Inn, 4* Ramada/Southern Sun, 5* Serena/Hyatt. 

The ambiguity with hotels is that we have arrangements with them for our attendees and will assign hotels once they’ve been purchased -this is at their request. We would prefer that you book through ourselves as we have negotiated special rates with each of the hotels - we will then fill these accordingly.

Other very good hotels are available in the city centre, these include the Golden Tulip, Harbour View suites, Best Western, and the New Africa Hotel.

Best,

Mark
