Is a holiday rental in Dar es Salaam worth it?
A holiday apartment in Dar es Salaam offers you the perfect combination of independence and comfort. Enjoy Diverse holiday experiences and experience Dar es Salaam like a local – with your own retreat after an action-packed day.
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's largest city and economic heart, is located on the Indian Ocean and serves as the gateway to some of Africa's greatest natural wonders: Serengeti, Kilimanjaro, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Spice Island of Zanzibar. The former capital (the government seat has been moved to Dodoma) pulses with East African energy: the Kariakoo Market is an overwhelming hustle and bustle of spices, fabrics, and tropical fruits. The Slipway and Oysterbay beaches offer waterfront restaurants with fresh seafood. The architecture tells of the German and British colonial era — the Askari Memorial and the Lutheran Church date back to the German East Africa period. The National Museum houses the oldest hominid finds in Africa. Dar es Salaam means "Harbor of Peace" in Arabic and combines African, Arab, and Indian influences into a unique urban culture.
