There are a lot of languages spoken where we are going, and we could never learn much about them in the short time left before we go. But Kiswahili is commonly spoken (in many variations) as a second language by most people in Tanzania and Kenya. English is also very commonly spoken, but we know most of that language already.
It's always good to have a few key words handy. Here's a sampling:
Hello, how are you? Habari
Please Tafadhali
Thank you Asante
Excuse me Samahani
I have been vomiting Ninatapika
How far? Mbali?
Is there danger of wild animals? Kuna wanyama wabaya hapa?
I am tired Nimechoka
Where is the bathroom? Choo kiko wapi?

"I have been vomiting" could be useful in so many situations.
