Dar-es-Salaam City Tour Full Day Excursion Itinerary
0800 Hours: In the morning, after breakfast, we’ll pick you up from your hotel/residence and start our city tour by visiting the Kivukoni Fish Market. The Kivukoni Fish Market is one of the most chaotic places in Dar es Salaam, where frantic trading, more typical of Wall Street stockbrokers, is enacted over the best fish from the Indian Ocean.
0600 Hours: From in the morning until 2000 Hours at night, people as brightly dressed as the fish they come to buy, visit the market and pick up everything from tuna and barracuda to octopus and squid.
After leaving Kivukoni Fish Market, you’ll see the Ocean Road Hospital and the State House. You will have a chance to visit the nearby Botanical Gardens, established 100 years ago by the Germans. Opposite the garden is Karimjee Hall, and you’ll be able to see its magnificent architecture while your guide explains its history.
Next, you’ll visit the National Museum, home to many historical treasures with a wide variety of exhibits including archaeological findings, rock paintings, ancient footprints, the remains of the first humans, and more.
The Mwenge Carvers Market is made up of small shops with stands displaying carvings of different kinds, traditional dresses, Tinga Tinga paints, and more. You’ll be able to browse the stalls, chat with the carvers, and buy souvenirs if you wish.
After that, you’ll visit the Makumbusho Village Museum, which is more interactive than the National Museum, allowing you to get a feel for the whole of Tanzania in a very short time. Kariakoo Market is the busiest and most exciting market in Dar es Salaam, so you’ll be able to enjoy an authentic Tanzanian shopping experience here.
Mnazi Mmoja is another exciting, vibrant place to visit with strong historical significance. You’ll be able to see the Uhuru Torch, which was placed here in 1961 to celebrate Tanzania’s independence from Germany.
1300 Hours: Lunch will be at the Peacock Hotel, where you can experience authentic Tanzanian hospitality and food. After lunch, you’ll visit the Clock Tower and see St. Joseph’s Cathedral, which was built hundreds of years ago in the Gothic style.
You’ll visit Samora Avenue to see and learn about the historical Askari Monument. Then you’ll visit the beautiful old Azania Front Lutheran Church and take in the views of Dar Es Salaam harbor from the roof.
