Dar Es Salaam Day Trip

Take a whole day to explore Dar es Salaam, a bustling city. Known by many as “Dar,” this sleepy fishing village has developed into a bustling city. You will visit the city’s main sights on your informative, privately guided tour, including the bustling fish market in Dar es Salaam, where dhows dock early in the morning to dump the previous night’s excellent catch. Stroll along the aromatically spicy India Street, where the tastes of the East are a sensory feast. As dusk turns a striking purple, groups of Dar es Salaam street food carts—which specialize in mouthwatering Indian cuisine—appear.

The base of any tempting Indian street food snack is bright red tomatoes, raw onions, green chilies, and fresh coriander. An absolute must is a Zanzibar Mix, a Tanzanian curry soup bowl with an abundance of delicious toppings that are inspired by Indian cuisine.

See the architectural wonders of the Greek Orthodox Church and St. Joseph’s Metropolitan Cathedral, as well as the old Central Railway Station. Take a stroll through a classic souk, or market, which is bustling with people day and night. Exhilarating and kaleidoscopic, the jostling mass of vivid colors, textured textiles, regional cuisine, and hand-adorned souvenirs is bound to include whatever you could possibly want. See stunning traditional African sculptures and crafts at the Mwenge Carver’s Market before visiting the National Museum and the outdoor Village Museum.

Tanzanian architecture is a blend of Asian, colonial, and Swahili styles, but a lot of it is being obscured by opulent, skyscraper buildings. Dar is a fantastic destination to visit, with its diverse array of cultures, amazing craft markets, excellent dining options, and close proximity to stunning golden beaches and verdant islands.
