I went for my business and have no specific opinion about the city as I did not do any sight seeing except going to Dar Es Salaam Institute of Tech and University. Enjoyed a good capuccino in the city mall.

Hardley any sidewalks on the streets. Too many hawkers on the sidewalks. Cleanliness maintained. Roads conjugated. Takes 2 hours by taxi to the hotel.

4/5 - Good

I liked the view of the Harbour from my room. Did not have a chance to explore the city. Will do so on my way back from Mwanza.
