Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania

Tanzania Dreams

What To Expect

Nestled along a natural harbor on the Indian Ocean, Dar es Salaam is a multicultural city, home to African Tanzanians, Arabic and South Asian communities, British and German expatriates, Catholics, Lutherans and Muslims.

This diversity in people is reflected in the culture: the city boasts international cuisine ranging from traditional Tanzanian barbecue and Zanzibari food to Thai, Chinese and American restaurants.

Dar Es Salaam, just like it’s counterpart in the North, Arusha – is the gateway to the Southern Safari Circuit in Tanzania. If you are planning a safari to Ruaha or Nyerere, or a visit to Zanzibar’s white beaches, Dar Es Salaam will most probably be your starting point.
