🌍 About Dar es Salaam

Dar es Salaam is Tanzania's largest city and the mainland launch point for Zanzibar — fast ferries cross in about two hours, which is why most travellers pass through rather than linger. But give it a morning: head to the Kivukoni Fish Market on the harbour, where the catch comes off the dhows and a strip of grills across the road sells octopus by the leg, charred and dipped in chilli sauce. The dish to order is mchuzi wa pweza — octopus simmered in coconut milk, the backbone of Swahili coast cooking. Come June to October, the dry season: hot, clear, and reliably swimmable. Avoid the long rains from March to May, when downpours flood streets. It's warm year-round (29–32°C), so a cheap fare any month buys beach weather — just not always dry weather.
