What Is Expat Life in Dar es Salaam Like?

Made up of three distinct districts, Dar es Salaam is the economic and bureaucratic center of Tanzania with the central government permanently seated in this busy port city. The Kinondoni district houses over half of the city's population, Ilala is the administrative district, and Temeke houses the port, industrial, and manufacturing hearts of Dar es Salaam. The central business district is located in the Ilala region where financial services, telecommunications, IT, and energy are major industries. Shipping and transportation are also prominent as Dar es Salaam is one of the busiest locations for arrivals to and departures from Tanzania. Expats will be relieved to know that of the two official languages, English rather than Swahili is favored in the business world. Expats who enjoy shopping will find the Kariakoo area an interesting experience with specific streets and areas specializing in only one type of product, such as electronics in Uhuru Street. Artists can try their hand at the Tingatinga style of painting specific to Dar es Salaam and beach lovers can travel to nearby Bongoyo Island or Dar es Salaam Marine Reserve for snorkeling, swimming, and sunbathing away from the city.
