10. St Joseph’s Cathedral. This cathedral was built by German missionaries
from 1897 through 1902. This Gothic-style Roman Catholic Church looks a little incongruous amid
the steel and glass skyscrapers bristling along the harbor front. It is a cool and calming place
to sit and reflect on a hot day. The Dar es Salaam archdiocese's seat, St. Joseph Cathedral,
has several notable features that make it worthwhile to visit. Its shingled spire,
vaulted interior, and exquisite stained-glass windows are the most remarkable features.
Many of the original German inscriptions and artwork may be found throughout the cathedral,
including a carved relief over the main altar. St. Joseph's Metropolitan Cathedral is located on
Sokoine Drive, directly across from the Zanzibar ferry terminal and within the Dar es Salaam CBD.
It's also close to the white father's home, Magogoni Creek,
and BRT routes. Visit this church to marvel at the beauty of this gold-plated structure.
9. National Museum & House of Culture. Tanzania's Museum and House of Culture is the
first and largest of these institutions. It can be found on Dar Es Salaam's Shaban Robert Street.
It was built between 1938 and 1939 and opened to the public in 1940. Since 1940, the National
Museum of Tanzania, formally known as the King George V Museum of England, has inherited the
collections and other resources of the National Museum of Tanzania, which is the country's largest
and oldest museum. The National Museum and House of Culture hosts both indoor (permanent exhibition
galleries) and outdoor (aquarium, trees, butterfly catch gardens, Hope out of Sorrow, Historical
State automobiles, and so on) exhibitions. It now has four permanent exhibitions, comprising
galleries dedicated to art, history, human evolution, and rock art. The permanent exhibition
halls for Biology and Ethnography are now being built. In the same vein, the National Museum and
House of Culture oversees six storage rooms for collections of art, archaeology, biology,
ethnography, history, and paleontology, as well as a Strong Room for vital national treasures.
8. Mwenge Woodcarvers Market. The Mwenge Woodcarvers Market,
located in the heart of Dar es Salaam, is bustling with artists hard at work crafting
beautiful and distinctive goods. Wooden masks are particularly popular, but artisan shops selling
a wide range of items from textiles to sandals, beaded necklaces, and more will also have gems.
Unlike numerous tourist marketplaces across the world, merchants in this market do not bother
customers. They will encourage you to visit their store, but you will not be pressured to make a
purchase. Remember to haggle and browse around in the market because prices are adjustable and
you may be able to locate a similar item for half the price at another vendor. Mwenge Woodcarvers
Market appears unassuming at first glance, but walk through the central opening and you'll
find yourself in the midst of over 100 shops selling a diverse range of beautiful woodwork.
7. Askari Monument. Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's largest commercial city,
has a variety of German colonial memory sites, which include buildings, statues, and open spaces.
The origins of the Askari monument, a life-size bronze construction of the King's African Rifleman
near the intersection of Samora Avenue and Maktaba Street, can be traced back to German
times. The monument was built in the 1920s to replace the Wissmann Monument, which was built
in 1906 in honor of Major Hauptmann Hermann von Wissmann (1853-1905), a German commander
(Reichskommissar) who suppressed African rebellion in East Africa. Coastal resistance, particularly
that led by Swahili-Arab trader Abushiri ibn Salim al-Harthi (1889), provided a significant threat to
the Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Gesellschaft (OAG). The Abushiri soldiers, for example, set fire
to the Benedictine Mission Station at Pugu on January 13, 1889, killing three missionaries.
6. Kunduchi Water Park. Wet 'n' Wild is a 6-acre
entertainment and recreation facility (the largest in East and Central Africa) that offers a wide
range of activities. Water slides (some as high as six stories), children's water play systems,
sports grounds, restaurants, Go-karts and a quad bike track (the first and only in
Tanzania), water sports, conference facilities, and more are among the attractions. Kunduchi
Water Parks is in the middle of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
It's an amusement park that provides room for you to arrange activities that you'd like to do
or be a part of. It has the manpower and capacity to do so for you.
5. Kivukoni Fish Market. Dar es Salaam is primarily a
corporate and government hub, with manufacturing also contributing significantly to the economy.
We wanted to see the markets since they are, in my opinion, the heart and soul of a city. Fishing has
always been a significant part of Dar's culture. The city was founded as a fishing community,
therefore the first stop was the Kivukoni fish markets. The markets, unlike any other I'd seen,
are a big jumble of tables where the fish has been strewn. On one table, there were similar species
of fish, but on another, there were fish of all sizes. Some were being auctioned, while others
were being sold. Fish that had been purchased were being cleaned and fried in another building.
4. Mbudya Island. Mbudya,
an uninhabited island north of Tanzania's major city,
Dar es Salaam, is one of the four islands that make up the Dar es Salaam Marine Reserve.
This beautiful island in the middle of the Indian Ocean resembles Dar Es Salaam's Zanzibar.
Mbudya Island, with its white sand beaches and crystal clear turquoise waters, is the ideal
getaway for anyone looking to escape the rush and bustle of Dar es Salaam. Sunbathing, snorkeling,
swimming, and simply hanging out on the beach with friends are all popular activities on this island.
Mbudya Island is only a 20-minute boat ride from Dar es Salaam's mainland. To catch a local speed
boat from Dar es Salaam to Mbudya Island, go to Kibo beach or Jangwani sea breeze resort
in the Mbezi region and pay the Mbudya island government fees and boat fees to a local boatman.
Every half-hour, a boat is available. Depending on how many people you're bringing, there are a
variety of sizes available. The biggest boats can accommodate up to 40 people. The boat ride can be
a little bumpy. If you get seasick easily, take some anti-seasickness medication before you go.
3. Coco Beach. Coco Beach is a length of beachfront in
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's Oyster Bay neighborhood. It is one of the city's most well-known beaches,
with citizens flocking to it for beach parties and festivals during the holidays.
As a result, there are a variety of businesses on the beach,
including restaurants, food stands, and shops that rent beach equipment like floaters.
Joggers frequent Coco Beach, many of whom come from adjacent neighborhoods
and can be seen in greater numbers in the evening. At the northern end, there is only one large,
well-established restaurant; the rest are smaller, tarp-covered eateries that provide decent food.
2. Udzungwa Mountains National Park. Udzugwa Highlands National Park is a wildlife
refuge in central Tanzania, between the Iringa and Morogoro regions of the eastern arc mountains,
60 kilometers south of Mikumi National Park on the Mikumi Ifakara road. The national park was
established in 1992 by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, the founder of the World Wide Fund,
and covers a total area of 1,990 square kilometers, with vegetation types such as Miombo
woodland, grassland, tropical rainforest, and mountain forest serving as habitats for abundant
wildlife such as elephants, bushbucks, palm civets, leopards, duikers, Miombo genets, hyenas,
over 400 bird species, 2500 ploughed animals, and Wasungwa, a Kihehe word that means "those
who live on the edges of the mountains," inspired the creation of Udzugwa Mountains National Park.
1. Oyster Bay.
In the bustling metropolis of Dar es Salaam, the majestic Oyster Bay Hotel is located.
Only eight tastefully designed suites are available, each with fantastic ocean views,
plush king-sized mattresses, stunning ensuite bathrooms, air conditioning, a ceiling fan,
television, and exquisite French doors leading to a private terrace. Delicious meals are served in
the elegant dining room, as well as al fresco on the veranda and pool deck. A welcoming study room
allows guests to catch up on emails or read an unfinished book, while a dazzling swimming pool
offers a calm respite to enjoy a refreshing cocktail while soaking up the Tanzanian sun.
You'll probably fall in love with Dar es Salaam if you give it some time. Dar is a vibrant seaside
city that blends African, Indian, and Arab influences to create a unique urban culture.
Dar has grown chaotically in all directions in recent decades, yet it retains much of its charm.
With a city center full of charming colonial buildings, bougainvillea-lined streets, and a slew
of palm-fringed beaches. Take trip to this nation and enjoy the beauty of Africa in one nation.
