Buyers BEWARE
African Galleria的点评
点评：This place is 100% a tourist trap - but not even something you fall into. Rather you are guided like sheep by your trusty tour guide.
Other reviews may say to bargain 'hard', but that is an understatement. These people are crooks. If you don't know A LOT about the stones you are interested in and the fair price for different carats and styles, please beware. They may issue a certificate, but ensure you don't walk away with buyers remorse because as the other reviews say they are clear there are no returns. They are clearly evading taxes in their home country of Tanzania, trying to convince you that it make sense to under-report the value of the stone you purchased to ensure you don't run into problems with customs. I couldn't see clearly enough at the time, but it is all a big scheme and a big scam and you WILL walk out of there with many regrets if you purchase anything. From the coffee, to the handicrafts, and especially any stones and jewelry - everything is overpriced. You're better off spending some time exploring the shops in Arusha.
Tour companies should also be called out for whatever deal they - or their guides have - with this venue to keep traffic coming through the door. Even though we were keen to just go to the hotel, our guide pushed VERY VERY hard for us to spend some time here.
AVOID THIS PLACE IF YOU CAN

翻译：这个地方 100% 是一个旅游陷阱 - 但你甚至不会掉进去。相反，你会像绵羊一样被你信任的导游引导。
其他评论可能会说要“努力”讨价还价，但这是轻描淡写。这些人是骗子。如果你对你感兴趣的宝石以及不同克拉和款式的合理价格不太了解，请小心。他们可能会颁发证书，但要确保你不会后悔，因为正如其他评论所说，他们明确表示不会退货。他们显然是在逃避他们祖国坦桑尼亚的税收，试图说服你少报你购买的宝石的价值是有道理的，以确保你不会遇到海关问题。我当时看得不够清楚，但这都是一个大阴谋和大骗局，如果你购买任何东西，你都会后悔不已。从咖啡到手工艺品，尤其是任何宝石和珠宝 - 一切都定价过高。您最好花些时间逛逛阿鲁沙的商店。
旅游公司也应该注意他们（或他们的导游）与这个场所达成的任何协议，以保持客流量。尽管我们很想直接去酒店，但我们的导游非常非常努力地催促我们在这里待一段时间。
如果可以的话，请避开这个地方
