Workation in Dar es Salaam: the essentials

With more than 7 million people and still growing fast, Dar es Salaam is East Africa's largest city and Tanzania's commercial centre, even though the official capital moved to Dodoma. It spreads along the Indian Ocean around a natural harbour, with the old German-era downtown on the water, the crowded Kariakoo market and the embassies and cafés of the Msasani Peninsula. Ferries cross to Zanzibar, electric trains now run to Dodoma, and there is some coworking. Julius Nyerere International Airport is about 10 km from the centre. Road traffic is severe, the rapid bus network helps on a few corridors only, and it is hot and humid much of the year.
