A fantastic variety of landscapes in one trip. Dar es Salaam lies on Tanzania’s Indian Ocean coast and hosts eye-opening museums and exhibits charting the history and culture of the local tribes. Moshi Urban is the gateway to Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro: numerous hiking and climbing routes criss-cross the mountains and various companies offer expeditions up the meadows and slopes. Arusha too is a useful base to explore Kilimanjaro and lies at the foot of its own geographical wonder: Mount Meru, and the adjacent Arusha National Park. To the northwest is Serengeti National Park, home to some of the best wildlife spotting in the world. Lastly, Zanzibar is Tanzania’s own tropical Indian Ocean archipelago.

DAR ES SALAAM

Day 1 - 2

i

Dar es Salaam (Haven of Peace in Arabic) was founded in 1862 by Sultan Seyyid Majid of Zanzibar on the site of the village of Mzizima. Mzizima's history dates back to when the Barawa people started to settle and cultivate the area around Mbwa Maji, Magogoni, Mjimwema, Gezaulole, and Kibonde Maji Mbagara. Dar es Salaam's origins have been influenced by a myriad of Sultans, the Germans, and the British. The city started as a fishing village in the mid-19th century, is now Tanzania's largest city, and has become one of East Africa’s most important ports and trading centres. With its great atmosphere, mix of African, Muslim, and South Asian influences, picturesque harbour, beaches, chaotic markets, and historical buildings, it is well worth extending your stay beyond the time between flights. Dar es Salaam is Tanzania's financial and political hub despite having lost its status as the capital to Dodoma in 1973.
