The vibrant sun calls me from my slumber and declares “I am back again, just like yesterday and I will be back tomorrow” I arise wiping sleep from my eyes and upon opening the curtains I behold the immense beauty that is my privilege to embrace. So glad that very near the city you can find beaches like this to nurture your soul and rest your body. – Paul M Hansen

Lonely Planet describes it like this. “Over the last century, Dar es Salaam has transformed from a sleepy Zaramo fishing village into a thriving, striving, smoke-belching metropolis of over four million people (and growing). Straddling some of the most important sea routes in the world, it is East Africa’s second-busiest port and Tanzania’s commercial and cultural hub.”
