Among the stores are African favourites like Game and Mr. Price. There are several telecommunication service provider and bank branches based in the mall. The mall has a large parking lot.

Makumbusho Village Museum

The Village Museum is an open air museum established in 1967 with duties of acquiring, researching and preserving the indigenous culture and architecture of Tanzania ethnic groups. This Museum represents Tanzanian rural life as it could have appeared until very recently. Some of the houses constructed here no longer exist while others are still used by majority of ethnic groups precisely those living in rural areas but in modified versions.

Mwenge Woodcarvers Market

This sprawling market is filled with artisans hard at work creating beautiful and unique items. Wooden masks are particularly popular, but you’ll also find treasures in craft shops selling a whole range of goods from fabrics to sandals, beaded necklaces, and more. Unlike some tourist markets around the world, the sellers here tend not to hassle customers. They’ll encourage you to come into their store, but you won’t be pestered to buy anything.

University of Dar es Salaam

Beautiful landscape, always green, perfect for evening walks, or jogging. Although it is a University area it is not restricted to the rest of the public. The area is very big all beautiful and green... perfect for relaxation and just taking amazing walks

Beaches

Dar es Salaam has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. You will find numerous beach resorts both north and south of Dar es Salaam. Although the beaches are often part of a hotel, most are not exclusively for hotel guests; anyone who orders a drink or lunch may use the facilities. Most of which are less than a 20 minute drive from the hotel.
