Why this trip
Salt air, fish markets and harbour noise: Dar es Salaam is Tanzania's big coastal city on the Indian Ocean and not a classic safari destination. It is nevertheless valuable as a starting point, above all for anyone heading to the south of the country. If you have a few hours, you can visit the Village Museum, the House of Culture and the National Museum, or see the Askari Monument in the centre. For nature lovers, Mikumi National Park is a pointer to wildlife nearby, and the bush flight to Nyerere National Park also departs from here.
Sinda Island complements the city with a day on the water. The south of the country suits travellers who seek quiet: fewer vehicles, longer observations along the river. According to the country information, the best time for Tanzania is July to October, and the dry season gives the south its special character. Dar es Salaam can be combined with Zanzibar or with the north around Arusha.
If you are wondering where the trip begins and where it ends, discuss that with Swiss Vibes on a video call.
