Dar es Salaam

Dar is pretty much like any major city you would come across anywhere in the world.  Lots of traffic, lots of people, and lots to do.  I'm a big fan of the club and music scene there and if you have a chance, youtube some music that comes out of Tanzania, specifically "bongo flava".  Oh ya, Dar is hot.  I mean hot and humid and this is the rainy/"cold" season.  I was cooking.

Some photos of Dar es Salaam.

  5. The control tower is not for ferries but for the port, owned and operated by tanzania port authorities (TPA).
