Discover Dar es Salaam City Tours
Dar es Salaam has transformed over the last century from a humble fishing village into one of the most captivating coastal capitals in the world. With its pristine beaches rich in authentic African charm, this vibrant city truly lives up to its name — "Haven of Peace."
The story of Dar es Salaam dates back to the 1850s, when the Sultan of Zanzibar relocated his port and trading center from Bagamoyo to this strategic location, influenced by the rise of steamship services. By 1891, the German High Commissioner’s office had moved here, and in 1902, the city inaugurated a floating dock. Later, a central railway to Lake Tanganyika was constructed, further boosting the city’s port significance.
