Dar es Salaam Tour Tanzania
DAR ES SALAAM
Dar es Salaam is the largest city and economic capital of Tanzania. Located in a quiet bay off the Indian Ocean coast, the city has grown to become a prosperous centre in the East African region.
Centre of german colonial administration
During German occupation in the early 20th century, Dar es Salaam was the centre and main contact point between the agricultural mainland, the world of trade and commerce in the Indian Ocean and the Swahili Coast. Remnants of colonial presence, both German and British, can still be seen in the landmarks and architecture around the city.
Well worth a visit
The National Museum, the Village Museum and many colourful markets are well worth a visit. Numerous historical landmarks, including St. Joseph`s Cathedral, the White Father`s Mission House, the Botanical Gardens and the old State House make an interesting walking tour around the waterfront and city centre.
