    Located on the mainland coast of Tanzania, nestled in a natural harbor on the Indian Ocean, Dar es Salaam is a multicultural city. It is home to African Tanzanians, Arabic and South Asian communities, British and German expatriates, Catholics, Lutherans and Muslims. This diversity in people is reflected in the culture: the city boasts international cuisine ranging from traditional Tanzanian barbecue and Zanzibari food, to Thai, Chinese and American restaurants. Its vibrant music scene has witnessed a rise in Bongo Flava, which is a form of hip hop.

    There is plenty to see in Dar es Salaam and a city tour will introduce you to Mwenge Open Market for Makonde Carvings and other local handicraft items. South of the city, there are also some excellent beaches and Dar es Salaam is the hub for access to Zanzibar.

    Dar es Salaam holidays with Abercrombie & Kent will provide expert guidance, insight and first-hand experience of this wonderful region.
