I was born and raised in the city of Dar es Salaam and I have loved every minute of it. After taking my tour, you will too! My guided tour of the city involves sightseeing, practical locations and mostly just having fun in the great cosmopolitan East African port city, Dar es Salaam. The guided tour will not only feature tourist attractions but it will also acquaint you with other important and p
ractical places such as the Embassies, Bus Stops, Supermarkets etc. Dar es Salaam it is a very unique city that boasts immigrant populations from all over the world and also a culture that combines its Arabic and Western colonial legacy with its uniquely East African style. My guided tour features:
History, Swahili culture and culturally important places in the city
Help with the practical aspects of your daily life while you’re staying in Dar. Shopping market’s that sell local delicacies and handicrafts e.g. jewelry, art, Kangas, vitenges, clothing, foods, fruits, etc. Local Beaches and those that permit camping
Restaurants and night life. Bar Crawl
I am more that willing to tailor your tour experience to your tastes. During the tour be prepared to travel around the city by the following means:
Daladala (small city bus)
Bycicle (rented)
Bajaji (motorized rickshaw)
Private rental car (Taxi). and walking
Accommodation
Dar es salaam is third fastest growing city in Africa. This is largely due to the fact that from the accross the country and the surrounding countryside people are drawn to local employment opportunities on Dar es Salaam bustling streets. This makes finding temporary “local” accommodation difficult. For those who are looking such accommodation I am willing to provide you the benefit of my years of experience in helping visitors search, find, and negotiate a comfortable place to stay. I have experience assisting tourists, volunteers, intern, students, and vacationers. Accomodation options include:
Hotels
Hostels
Houses
Apartments
Private rooms
and rooms with local families
we can pursue any options you are interested at your desired price level. AIR PORT PICK UP
Arriving in a Dar es Salaam, for those who are unacquainted, can be very challenging and disorienting due to the language barrier and unfamiliarity with local pricing. To help you deal with these difficulties I am willing to offer you my 24 HR service in escorting you from Dar es Salaam airport to any location in town. Here are some of the available ground transportation options at your disposal:
Taxi: Most expensive but also the most comfortable way. Bajaji: Your first contact with the African way of life smile babes for 2 persons with luggage. Most students love this easy and cheap alternative to taxis. Not for the very risk averse though! Daladala: These are very cheap but only for experienced or crazy people. Local bus service that operates all day until 10 PM. These mini busses tend to be a little crowded and there is a modest walk to the bus station from the air terminal. I wouldn’t recommend this mode of transportation if you are travelling with large or numerous pieces of luggage.
