Dar Es Salaam

Dar Es Salaam (DAR) is Tanzania's largest city, - the commercial and social centre of the country with a lively and bustling character.

Economic growth has brought with it an urban infrastructure of busy markets, modern shops, international banks, new high rise buildings and the inevitable traffic congestion.

Most international travellers fly in and out of DAR so when necessary, an overnight stay may be required for which there is a choice of good quality hotels.

We've checked out just about every hotel and guesthouse and the best two options are Dar Southern Sun and Kempinski Hotel.
