Dar is a stopover point for many travellers into Tanzania who want to explore Zanzibar, Selous Game Reserve, Ruaha National Park and the Arusha Region. The town bustles during the dry season as visitors hustle for tours and safaris to the best of the best luxury lodges in Africa – check out our accommodation choices below and then contact us for a chat about your needs.

Business travellers to Dar are increasingly filling hotel suites and conference centres with their chatter and energy as the city opens up as a vital economic and tourism hub in East Africa.  Dar es Salaam offers the perfect accommodation for people on the move between Arusha, Serengeti and Lake Manyara. 

We recommend the Oyster Bay Hotel just 20-minutes’ drive outside of the metropolis, on the Msasani Peninsular, boasting sea views and a quiet location, away from the hubbub of downtown. It’s the perfect stop over for visitors en route to the Tanzania safari circuits, Mount Kilimanjaro or the islands.

Or head for the luxury suites of the Southern Sun Dar es Salaam, a couple of blocks back from the waterfront in a relatively quiet area of town with the beautiful botanical gardens as its backdrop. The hotel’s interiors exude an old world charm which perfectly combines with modern amenities and services for a superb stay where only beautiful memories are made.
