## Bagamoyo & Dar es Salaam

Dar es Salaam is Tanzania's largest city and its former capital, a busy Indian Ocean port that most travelers pass through en route to Zanzibar or the southern parks, but which rewards a day of exploring its markets and waterfront.

A short drive north, Bagamoyo was once one of East Africa's most important trading towns and, briefly, the capital of German East Africa, leaving behind a UNESCO-listed old town of Swahili, Arab, Indian and colonial-era architecture.

### Wildlife & Highlights

Together the two towns offer a dose of coastal history and culture that pairs naturally with a beach extension on Zanzibar or Saadani.

### Best Time To Visit

June to October and December to February for comfortable, drier city and coastal exploring.
