Dar es Salaam, Tanzania’s bustling coastal city, is not only a gateway to southern safari destinations like Nyerere and Mikumi National Parks, but also a vibrant cultural and historical hub worth exploring. A city tour offers a great introduction to Tanzania’s heritage, with highlights including the National Museum, Askari Monument, Mwenge Carvers Market, Kivukoni Fish Market, and the beautiful colonial architecture of Old Boma. The city’s rich Swahili culture, Indian Ocean views, and local cuisine create a dynamic urban experience that contrasts perfectly with the serenity of a safari.
