On arrival at Dar es Salaam International Airport you will be warmly welcomed by a member of our team, who will transfer you to your hotel. Despite its name, which means 'abode of peace' in Arabic, Dar es Salaam is Tanzania's largest and busiest city. It is the country's most important business and commercial hub and is situated right on the Indian Ocean. It is the main port of call for most visitors, as it is the ideal place from which to access both the wilderness areas and the beaches of Tanzania and Zanzibar. Most visitors en route to the better-known Tanzanian attractions are surprised by the charm of this unassuming city and find themselves yearning for more time to explore its hidden secrets. Spend the night in a luxury suite at Oyster Bay. Your stay is on a fully inclusive basis.
