Dar Es Salaam

Market shopping in Dar Es Salaam

  1. Mwenge Carvers’ Market

    This market, opposite the Village Museum, and just off New Bagamoyo Rd, is packed with vendors, and you can watch carvers at work. Take the Mwenge dalla-dalla from New Posta transport stand to the end of the route, from where it’s five minutes on foot down the small street to the left.

    Kariakoo Market

    The huge, sprawling Kariakoo Market is Tanzania’s largest; don’t bring valuables and watch out for pickpockets.
