Activity itinerary

Kivukoni Fish Market
  • 45m
Kivukoni fish market will make you learn about the day experience of fishermen. You will learn the nature of their means of transport and the fish trade. Travel time is already included in the total duration.
Old Boma
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
One of Dar es Salaam’s oldest surviving buildings, the Old Boma was built in the late 19th century and originally served as a German administrative centre. Initially it was also used by the Omanis, then the Germans, the British, and later the Tanzanian government—making it a powerful symbol of the city’s shifting political eras. Today, this historic structure stands as a quiet reminder of Dar’s layered colonial past and its journey to independence.
St. Joseph's Cathedral of Archdiocese of Dar es Salaam
  • 20m
Dating back to the early 1900s, this majestic cathedral facing the Dar es Salaam Port of Zanzibar was built by the Germans. An interesting storey along with amazing scene offers a rich experience.

University of Dar es Salaam (Pass by)
As we pass by the University of Dar es Salaam, you’ll glimpse Tanzania’s first and leading centre of higher learning — a hilltop campus where ideas, leadership, and national history meet. Known locally as Mlimani (“the hill”), the university reflects the country’s intellectual heartbeat and the journey of Tanzania’s thinkers, reformers, and professionals. A quiet but powerful symbol of education, ambition, and progress in modern Tanzania.
Mugabe Primary & Secondary School (Pass by)
We’ll also pass by Mugabe Primary and Secondary School, offering a glimpse into Tanzania’s residential neighbourhoods. This short pass-through helps visitors understand everyday life — how families live, how children learn, and how communities are organised — giving a real sense of what daily life in Tanzania looks like beyond the main attractions.
Village Museum

The Village Museum offers a journey through Tanzania’s diverse cultures in one place.
