There isn’t really anything to get excited about with visiting Dar es Salaam, it is a big city with plenty of high rise buildings, but it is a big hub for getting into Tanzania and then going on to the safari or beach part of your holiday. Basically, it is a transit point and not much more. If you do need, or want to transit however, there is a high-end option that will, certainly, appeal.

The Oyster Bay is a five-star contemporary African chic hotel and a haven of quiet and relaxation in the big city. The building is beautiful large, luxury, home from home with eight ocean facing guest suites with amazing bathrooms, air-conditioning and satellite tv. In the garden there is a terrace for meals and a swimming pool. If you have to stay in Dar es Salaam and want to do it in style there is nowhere better.
