About Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) Dar es Salaam

Dar es Salaam is the largest city and also the former capital of Tanzania. The city is located on the Indian Ocean coast, near Kenya and Mozambique. From being a land of the native fishermen, under the banner, 'Mzizima' to evolving into a predominant trading and port centre, Dar es Salaam has amassed a lot of prosperity along its way. Dar es Salaam was founded by the first Sultan of Zanzibar, Majin bin Said in 1865-66. It became a center for trade, commerce and education after colonization by Britain in 1892. Dar es Salaam also played its part as an important port during World War II when it served as a naval base for Allied forces fighting against Germany's Afrika Korps, the German army stationed throughout Africa. The easy way to travel to Dar es Salaam is by air. The nearest terminal is the Julius Nyerere International Airport. As Dar es Salaam is a port city, sea-route is another viable option!
