Tour description

Join me on a captivating journey through the heart of Dar es Salaam, beginning with a breathtaking bird's-eye view from the rooftop of one of the city's tallest skyscrapers. This unique perspective sets the stage for an immersive exploration of Dar es Salaam's vibrant city center.

Our walking tour will take us to a variety of fascinating and historically significant sites, including:

Old Boma: Discover the city's rich history at this iconic colonial-era building.

Askari Monument: Learn about the significance of this monument dedicated to African soldiers who fought in World War I.

Botanical Gardens: Enjoy a peaceful stroll through lush gardens showcasing a variety of tropical plants.

National Museum: Explore Tanzania's cultural and historical treasures (optional).

Fish Market: Experience the bustling atmosphere and savor the sights and sounds of this lively market.

Kariakoo Market: Dive into the local culture at one of the largest and busiest markets in Dar es Salaam.

For those interested in exploring further, I also offer optional visits to:

  • Village Museum: Discover traditional Tanzanian huts and cultural exhibits.


  • Mwenge Woodcarvers Market: Admire and purchase beautiful handcrafted wooden items. Note: This location is a bit further from the city center, and we will need to take transport (Bolt or Uber).


Join me for an unforgettable tour that blends stunning views, rich history, and vibrant local culture in Dar es Salaam!
