A gateway to game reserves so far south the safari trucks barely see another vehicle all day, spice-scented markets in a city that used to run the Swahili coast's trade, and a beach coastline that rivals Zanzibar's without the crowds.
The best time to visit Dar es Salaam & southern Tanzania is Jun–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 31°C (88°F).
