Mentioning Tanzania, I believe many people will first think of the African savannah, the magnificent animal migration, or the "turquoise on the Indian Ocean" - Zanzibar... With rich and unique tourism resources, Tanzania has become a must-visit place for African tourism. If you are in Tanzania or will come here one day, then please pay attention to our "Must-Try" series, you will taste the different charm of Tanzania!
Come here, take a touch of emotion, take a break on the peninsula, smell the fragrance of books, taste tea, listen to music, a volume of poetry, and enjoy the leisure and leisure.
Here, you can not only feel the African style on the peninsula, but also enjoy the unique tranquility in the embassy area.
I have been to Dar es Salaam, the capital of Tanzania in Africa, six times. Every time I see this country in Africa, I have a tourism concept with a colonial feeling. This place is in a process of deep suffering and development. This is the history of a beautiful small country being slaughtered by capitalism.

At Mbudya Island, the color of the sea was green when I left the beach, and then the color became darker and darker, turning into blue. But it was still very clear, and I could see the seaweed floating in the water. Maybe it was because I watched The Shallows (a movie I recommend watching), I always felt that there were still a lot of sharks in the sea. Then I got closer and closer to the island, and saw the light green water next to the white beach. It felt like it was not real.
beautiful island,nice view,sunset view,the most relaxing weather .

kipepeo beach is one of my favorite places in Dar es Salaam, the beach is clean, the staff are lovely and also the rooms are clean but the food is very expensive so keep that in mind. Definitely will recommend as a little place to escape from all the world chaos
The beach in Dar es Salaam, the capital of Tanzania, located on the coast of the Indian Ocean, is a beautiful beach. I went here once and then six more times. Every time I saw the friendliness of the local people towards the Chinese, I was very moved.

Today i attended Holy Service on easter with my brother to this old famous Cathedral; I was moved by the atmosphere & surroundings. After that Service, I tried to get the history of the church, which was explained to me by the Priest there. Don't miss this, all travellers having interest in history, old monuments, church activities should visit this Cathedral and understand the background.
it’s a very attractive place..Very convenient since it’s located in town,has a very beautiful view I would love to be there someday😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
