Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Located on the Indian Ocean coast, Dar es Salaam is the capital and commercial center of Tanzania. Today a teeming city of 3.5 million people, Dar es Salaam is the terminus of the new Tan-Am Railway that connects Tanzania with Zambia. Travelers to Dar es Salaam will find sites of historical interest both in the city and the surrounding area. An organized sightseeing tour provides a good overview for the first-time visitor. Of main interest are the game reserves and national parks, which are a distance from Dar es Salaam and require full-day or overnight excursions.
