Dar
es Salaam is the largest city and economic capital of Tanzania. Located in a
quiet bay off the Indian Ocean coast, the city has developed into an economic
importance to become a prosperous centre of the entire East African region. Its
bustling harbor is the main port in Tanzania.
Its
industrial area produces products for export and use throughout the country.
Government offices all have their main base in Dar es Salaam, and diplomatic
missions and non-governmental organizations in the country all have a presence
in the bustling urban city.
Restaurants,
shops, office buildings, and government buildings are all common features of
Tanzania’s urban centre. During German occupation in the early 20th century,
Dar es Salaam was the centre of colonial administration and the main contact
point between the agricultural mainland and the world of trade and commerce in
the Indian Ocean and the Swahili Coast. Remnants of colonial presence, both
German and British, can still be seen in the landmarks and architecture around
the city. The National Museum, the Village Museum, and many colourful markets
are well worth a visit. Numerous historical landmarks, including St. Joseph’s
Cathedral, the White Father’s Mission House, the Botanical Gardens, and the old
State House make for an interesting walking tour around the waterfront and city
centre.
Seven
kilometers north of the city, is Bongoyo Island Marine Reserve which offers
good snorkeling and diving sites for those who want to explore the water. The
reserve boasts of its beautiful beaches, secluded islands and many varieties of
marine species. Although the variety and population of coral and fish species
are not as numerous as other sites on Zanzibar, Pemba, and Mafia Island, the
Bongoyo Island Marine Reserve is well worth a visit and is a great way to spend
a day out and see the coast. For other information about Dar-es-Salaam – see
