Dar-es-Salaam is Tanzania's economic capital. The city is permanently growing: stopping here can be your chance to feel the excitement that it exudes.

My suggestion

Take the time to stroll along the beach that runs alongside Barack Obama Drive, it is an opportunity to meet the students who come here to relax after class.

Dar Es Salaam is the biggest town in Tanzania and East Africa's second largest port. Even so, it's not the country's capital city. It's an interesting place to learn about Tanzanian city life, as well as being the departure point for ferries to Zanzibar.

My suggestion

Dar Es Salaam has loads of markets that you can tour by taxi. The ones to check out are the fish market, Ilala, Kariakoo and the Masani Slipway.

By the Indian Ocean, 480km from the capital, Dodoma, Dar Es-Salaam is the biggest town in Tanzania.. Really quite ugly and not very interesting, there's no reason to stay there.

My suggestion

But most travellers will go through Dar Es-Salaam. My advice is to take a bus, plane, train or boat and get out of town as soon as possible.

Tanzania, the example of Chumbe Island Coral Park

It's like a big stone which would be a model for ecotourism management, laid down in the middle of the fishing waters of the Indian Ocean. Chumbe Island, to the South-West of the island of Zanzibar, is the first private marine park created in 1991 for conservation purposes and sustainable management of the uninhabited islands of Chumbe.
