Dar es salaam- Haven of Peace
Review of Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) by arjun127

Advantages: Fluttering Palms & Sandy Beaches
Disadvantages: Beware the pick pockets

Having lived in Dar Es salaam(Tanzania) for almost 25 years till I moved to London, it was nothing strange that I felt "homesick" and wanted to revisit the city where I had spent my child hood and having finished studies spent part of my youth.

Dar, the shorter the better
Review of Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) by LeilaR

Dar International Transit
Review of Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) by jeanrasson

Advantages: Conveniently sited airport near Zanzibar and gateway to Mozambique

Airport arrival
Review of Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) by howaysali

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

When arriving at Dar Es Salam try and get over the shock of the burnt out planes at the end of the runway and stay on your toes. If you look like an obvious first time in Africa backpacker which its hard not if you've just arrived then do your homework before you leave. Know exactly where you're going to stay for your first night and ignore thetaxi touts at the arrivals lounge. Go outside to the first taxi that you can see. Most touts dont have a ... Read review
