What To Expect
Old Boma
One of Dar es Salaam’s oldest surviving buildings, the Old Boma was built in the late 19th century and originally served as a German administrative center. Initially it was also used by the Omanis, then the Germans, the British, and later the Tanzanian government—making it a powerful symbol of the city’s shifting political eras. Today, this historic structure stands as a quiet reminder of Dar’s layered colonial past and its journey to independence.
Kivukoni Fish Market
Kivukoni fish market will make you learn about the day experience of fishermen. You will learn the nature of their means of transport and the fish trade. Travel time is already included in the total duration.

5.00We learned so much on this tour! Our guide was Rukube who really helped us understand the places that we visited and the history of Dar es Salaam and Tanzania in general. We took tuk tuks to get to each of the locations and walked around which was a unique experience. There was so much happening at both the markets that we visited but our tour guide always ensured that we felt safe and understood what was going on. Highly recommend especially for those with only a short time in the city.
Dar es Salaam on foot!

4.00The fish market, and Kariakoo market, were pretty amazing to see. Colors, smells, activities, people - it was fun to be immersed in it all. And the guide was knowledgeable, happy to accommodate my particular interests, and very invested in his city.

5.00Chuh Chuh Tours arranged an excellent walking and Tuk Tuk tour (because of the Rain ) in busy and lively Dar Es Salaam. Fish Market, Cathedral and strolling the local market streets together with competent and friendly guides was really a good experience. Also very rewarding being informed of the daily life of the ordinary people of Tanzania. We give Chuh Chuh Tours our best recommendations.
