    Dar es salaam has been a fairytale!

    Dar es salaam has been a fairytale! It's such a big and vibrant city. I got around town by using Bolt, which was an easy and effective way to move around town. I do not recommend going to the market alone, I was quickly overwhelmed by the pushy sellers, they weren't rude or anything, just a bit too pushy and they definitely hustle on the price, so always negotiate the price as long as you are considering buying the product. We went to eat at many places, f.ex: samaki samaki, wavuvi, choma hut, cape town free fish market and it was lovely. I stayed in a hotel without pool but gladly paid 20k tsh to use Golden tulips pool 1-2 times. I'm not here to tourist, I'm here attending a wedding so didn't do much tourist stuff but rather hanged out with my friend and his local family and friends, so I got to see both the real and tourist side of Tanzania. Dar es salaam is interesting, full of life, busy and beautiful! I'm definitely coming back.

    The people of Dar es Salaam are its main attraction. They are very friendly and welcoming. The city itself is full of life and (different) cultures. It is affordable and offers a variety of sightseeing attractions.

    Try to avoid this city if possible!

    Try to avoid this city if possible! They have nice pictures of some areas in travelling brochures but this is like 5% of the toal city. Mostly this city is heavily broken roads, mud-walkways, overcrowded, traffic jams and polluted air. When flying to Tanzania try to be it that city not too long. Fly or drive away to your next destination ASAP. And remember - prefer to use (locally represented) agency when travelling longer distances in Tanzania. If something happens with the vehicle (sooner or later it will happen) you have someone who might help you or at least worries about you.

    I liked the outskirts of town - 1hr away from the airport...

    I liked the outskirts of town - 1hr away from the airport was where I spent most at. The main city was a bit overwhelming and stressful at times, i.e. police officers hunting after foreigners and questioning your presence etc. I had two occasions where I was stopped just like that and the officers asking heaps of questions like where you come from, what your travels purpose was, what do you do, and if you're married (I'm a female solo traveller). I answered all the questions succinctly & clearly. However these officers just somehow would find ways to make it go longer than necessary. One even accused me of not having the right document (I was like what do you mean with the valid passport and visa?!). Anyway, he wanted to take me to the police station and court of law. I had a local driver with me who talked him out of it by giving him some shillings. And he turned to me and said "it's solved". Make sure you always carry your passport or ID documents with you. It's always helpful to know at least a local that you can reach out too when you find yourself trapped in tricky situations. Not much to see either in DAR. Maybe spend more time outside of the city.

    The location was okay, about 40 minutes from the International Airport of Dar es Salaam. The breakfast was okay realizing that you are in Tanzania. The hotel had a pool but we did not use it. We walked to a small rocky beach which was a 25 minute walk along a main road. The bed was nice and big. The shower was modern and had good pressure and warm water.
