    Try to avoid this city if possible!

    Try to avoid this city if possible! They have nice pictures of some areas in travelling brochures but this is like 5% of the toal city. Mostly this city is heavily broken roads, mud-walkways, overcrowded, traffic jams and polluted air. When flying to Tanzania try to be it that city not too long. Fly or drive away to your next destination ASAP. And remember - prefer to use (locally represented) agency when travelling longer distances in Tanzania. If something happens with the vehicle (sooner or later it will happen) you have someone who might help you or at least worries about you.

    I liked the outskirts of town - 1hr away from the airport was where I spent most at. The main city was a bit overwhelming and stressful at times, i.e. police officers hunting after foreigners and questioning your presence etc. I had two occasions where I was stopped just like that and the officers asking heaps of questions like where you come from, what your travels purpose was, what do you do, and if you're married (I'm a female solo traveller). I answered all the questions succinctly & clearly. However these officers just somehow would find ways to make it go longer than necessary. One even accused me of not having the right document (I was like what do you mean with the valid passport and visa?!). Anyway, he wanted to take me to the police station and court of law. I had a local driver with me who talked him out of it by giving him some shillings. And he turned to me and said "it's solved". Make sure you always carry your passport or ID documents with you. It's always helpful to know at least a local that you can reach out too when you find yourself trapped in tricky situations. Not much to see either in DAR. Maybe spend more time outside of the city.

    Dar es Salaam is wonderful city to visit.

    Dar es Salaam is wonderful city to visit. It has many interesting sites and amazing high-end restaurants to choose from. We had a wonderful experience at the AKEMI REVOLVING RESTAURANT where my spouse thoroughly enjoyed Lasagna. My grilled chicken was not exactly up to the task but passable. The service was great but the hotel manager Mr. Lorenzo Sachin could do with some PR. He moved around the restaurant totally ignoring some tables (such as ours) while busying himself with customers on other tables. Mr. Sachin, customer equity is important more so in hotel and restaurant industry... Mwenda (Kenya)

    I was there for a wedding reception, which was a lavish occasion, put on by my son's in-laws, as the happy couple had married in the UK, where they live. Dar is all things to all people, teeming with life and humanity in all its colourful fluidity. There is wealth and deep poverty, but with it all, people are proud of their country and most have a friendliness and humour in all their dealings. There is always something to see or watch. There are local buses, which we were discouraged from using, but taxis are easily obtained and the drivers are knowledgeable as to how to get around the city. Above all, don't think you can hire a car. Driving in and around Dar is only for the very experienced. Stay in the best hotel you can afford, as the ones on the beach overlooking the Indian Ocean are truly paradise.

    The airport shuttle is the best that I have experienced anywhere. They are prompt, very helpful. The most import is that always on time. The room was very clean and the staff is prepared to help you in anyway that you need. Best is a trustworthy shuttle, clean/comfortable room, and no Dar traffic getting to and from the hotel. Also, the hotel is secure. The Airport Transit has become our preferred accommodation for our travel and the who travel with our company.

    It was our second time and we would definitely come back only there if we have to come back to dar es salaam. As the place is really simple calm safe and nice, on the beach. The small bungalows are on the beach too. The neighborhood is also very nice. This time we did not like the room they gave us because it was supposed to be with a sea view thus we asked them to change it and they accommodated us very fast.

    We stayed here briefly before an early flight. The room was spacious, although very simple. The fan and A/C worked well so we had a good night's rest. The hotel manager helped us arrange a reliable driver which was extremely helpful and gave us peace of mind. We got to eat dinner cooked by his wife while we were in a hurry to go get our rapid COVID tests and it was some of the best food I had in TZ.

    The location is good. The facilities are functional. The staff are very kind and actually let us check in 2 hours before check-in time. You can easily access the beach through white sands hotel which is just opposite. Ordering off the menu is also affordable though there is an extra cost of Tshs. 5,000/= The neighborhood is serene and quite relaxing.
