Best Tours & activities in Dar es Salaam (2026)

A guided tour is one of the best ways to understand Dar es Salaam, because its markets and neighbourhoods can feel overwhelming at first and distances between sights are long. Afri Roots, based in Kigamboni, runs the Dar Reality Cycle, a ride of about five hours through less-visited neighbourhoods with stops at markets and meetings with coffee brewers and artists, and a Dar by Night tour of street food and live music with hotel transfers included.

Daigle Tours, a family-owned company founded in Dar es Salaam in 2010, offers city tours covering the fish market, museums, churches and markets, along with day trips such as Bagamoyo and safaris to Nyerere National Park, Mikumi and Ruaha. For time on the water, Thalassa Dive Center at the Msasani Slipway teaches PADI courses from beginner to Divemaster and runs daily dives and snorkelling along the coast. Book cycling and city tours early in your stay, confirm what is included and where you will be picked up, and bring a hat, sun cream and water, as most tours spend hours outdoors.
