Dar Es Salaam Getting there & around

Getting around

Dar es Salaam International Airport is located 12km from the city centre. Daladalas (marked U/Ndege) depart from New Posta transport stand. Taxis will cost from TSh8000 to TSh10, 000, depending on your bargaining abilities.

Daladalas are invariably packed to overflowing and are difficult to board with luggage. First and last stops are shown in the front window, but routes vary, so confirm that the driver is really going to your destination. Rides cost TSh100 to TSh200. Main stops include the following:

New Posta (Maktaba St) In front of the main post office.

Old Posta (Sokoine Dr) Just down from the Azania Front Lutheran Church.

Stesheni (Algeria St) Off Samora Ave near the Central Line Railway Station. Daladalas to Temeke bus stand also leave from here; ask for ‘Temeke mwisho’.

Taxis charge TSh1000 to TSh2000 per short trip within the centre. Fares to Msasani Peninsula start at TSh2500.
