Planning to visit places in Dar es Salaam or elsewhere in Tanzania?

Here are a few suggestions and links to give you the beginning.

First, ‘Charity begins at home.’

Delegates are warmly welcome to virtually explore the University of Dar es Salaam, Mwalimu Julius Nyerere Mlimani Campus through this link www.udsm.ac.tz and learn about the programmes offered, and research activities, among other things, to have a clear picture of where you will spend time for three days.

The following are some of the places within and outside Dar es Salaam that you might find amazing.

Dar es Salaam city tour: Embark on a full-day exploration of the bustling City of Dar es Salaam. Affectionately known as ‘Dar’, this once a slumbering fishing village has metamorphed into a blossoming metropolis. Your interpretive, privately guided tour takes you to the City’s top attractions such as the lively atmosphere of the Dar es Salaam’s Fish Market, where dhows dock at dawn to offload the night’s scrumptious catch.
