Welcome to Ebony Safaris & Tours
Lets us show you how to discover Tanzania
The hive-like activity continues uninterrupted from down to dusk, as Kariakoo is also a crossroads, a major bus terminus, and a shopper’s paradise. If what you’re looking for is not in Kariakoo, then it doesn’t in Dar es Salaam! It’s a lively area, but take care. Its lack of glamour is part of its allure: just keep in mind that pickpockets have their heyday in the crowded streets.
Head away from town on Ali Hassan Mwinyi Road toward some of the more posh parts of town. Just after Selander Bridge, veer off toward to the right on Kenyatta Drive to link up with Toure Drive. Follow the coat to the end of the road at Sea Cliff Hotel near the tip of Msasani Peninsula and enjoy some spectacular views of the India Ocean.
On the west side of Msasani Peninsula you’ll find the city best option for ocean-side recreation. The Slipway is a collection of shops, boutiques, beauty salons, ice cream parlous, restaurants, apartments, pubs, and even a bank. A crafts bazaar is a weekly on the plaza every Saturday and Sunday. Films are shown on weekend nights, and boats depart from here for the for day – trips to nearby Bongoyo Island.
Particularly if you don’t have time to explore the rest of Tanzania, don’t miss a visit to the open- air Village Museum{also referred to Makumbusho}, the Swahili word for museum} located on New Bagamoyo Road.
The well-kept ground feature 18 furniture traditional houses from different ethnic groups throughout Tanzania. In addition, you can watch traditional dance performances on most afternoons, view a variety of agricultural techniques, observe artisans to work and refresh yourself in the café. Continue north on New Bagamoyo Road and turn left on sam Nujoma Road to find the Mwenge crafts market. There are plenty of treasure to choose from, but here the specialty is the intricate wood carving on display. Be sure to bargain hard!
Dar es Salaam can easily be used as a base for quick weekend trips. Bagamoyo is only about an hour north of the city, and attracts visitors for its beaches as well as its historical significance. In Bagamoyo you can find oceanfront accommodation to fit any budget. Mikumi National Park is just a few hours away by car, and Zanzibar is a quick 2-hour ferry ride{or an even quicker flight} away.
For relaxing day trips to nearby islands, arrange transportation via White Sand Hotel or Bahari Beach Hotel.
