Why this trip
Harbour, street food and the heat of the Indian Ocean: Dar es Salaam is Tanzania's largest city and a place that many only know as a stop for changing planes. For Muslim travellers it is more, because on the coast of East Africa Islam has a long history. The Village Museum shows traditional houses of Tanzania's ethnic groups, and the National Museum and House of Culture holds the history of the country. The Askari Monument commemorates the soldiers of the world wars.
On the water, Sinda Island tempts with a beach day, and in Kunduchi children can swim in the Wet N Wild Water Park. Mikumi National Park is an excursion for everyone who wants to see animals. Market visits and street food work well if you first clarify which stalls meet your requirements. The best time between July and October is dry and less muggy.
Zanzibar, Nyerere National Park, Tarangire and Arusha are the neighbours, and you usually get there by flight. A visa is required, eVisa or visa on arrival. Dar lends itself as a gateway to Nyerere National Park, because a short bush flight replaces a long drive there.
