Improving with the fast bus system (BRT), but still dependent on informal transports.

Tips for Adventure

Slipway Sunset

The best place to watch the sunset with a cocktail on the Masaki Peninsula.

Kigamboni Ferry

Crossing on the public ferry to the south is an authentic local experience and very cheap for just a few cents.

Modest Dress

Dar is a mostly Muslim city. It is recommended to cover shoulders and knees outside beaches and hotels.

Right Hand Usage

Always use your right hand to eat, greet, or hand over objects; your left is considered unclean.

Malaria Prevention

Giving is a risk area. Use repellent, sleep with mosquito net and consult about prophylactic medication.

Bottled Water

Never drink tap water. Bottled water is cheap and available everywhere.

Use of taxis

Use apps like Uber or Bolt instead of stopping taxis on the street, especially at night, for added security and fixed prices.

Beware of Pulls

Avoid carrying your mobile phone or cameras visible near the road; thefts from motorcycles (piki-piki) occur.
