Kariakoo Market

1 hour

Our tour will start at Kariakoo market. The history of this market goes back to 1916. After british captured Dar es Salaam from the Germans during World War -1, they built a depot for their carrier corps no longer needed, the Governor allowed the building to be used as a market, hence the name "Carrier Corps Market" and Swahili speaker pronounce the name as "Kariakoo". And that is how it is known until today.

This private tour was excellent! From the time I booked the excursion Mansoor was always in contact with me as to what time he would be at the cruise ship to pick us up. He always had cold water available his mini van was in excellent condition and clean.
We followed the itinerary that they suggested to see the most important things. The fish market was very interesting on how fish was sold, cleaned and taken to market. The local village museum was interesting on how they lived in the earlier days. We saw both christian churches which was very nice.
I can’t say enough positive things about Mansoor and how he took care of us the whole day!

Wir haben die Stadtrundfahrt für unseren ersten Tag in Tanzania gebucht, ohne zu wissen, was in Dar es Salaam auf uns zukommt. Mansoor Mohamed und Sylvester haben uns am Hotel, das eher außerhalb lag, abgeholt und schon auf dem Weg in die Stadt, haben wir von Sylvester viel über die Geschichte der Stadt und die aktuelle Situation gehört. Wir hatten ein volles Programm, trotzdem sind die beiden auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen. Wir sind spontan zu Fuß durch ein sehr belebtes Geschäftsviertel gelaufen. Sylvester war sehr umsichtig und hat uns die Spezialitäten des Landes und die Mentalität der Einwohner näher gebracht. Zwei Kirchenbesuche, der Besuch des Fischmarktes und der Besuch zweier Museen standen noch auf dem Programm. Wir haben uns viel Zeit beim Fischmarkt gelassen und sind dann zuerst in das tansanische Nationalmuseum, wo wir durch das umfangreiche Wissen von Sylvester viel erfahren konnten und sich über die Exponate eine interessante Diskussion entwickelte. Danach besuchten wir das Village Museum mit den verschiedenen traditionellen Dorfhäusern. Auch hier wusste Sylvester jede Frage zu beantworten. Am Ende des Museumsbesuches bestand noch die Möglichkeit, eine traditionelle Tanz- und Musikaufführung zu sehen. Schön war, dass wir gemeinsam zu Mittag aßen und zum Abschluss noch einen Kaffee zum Ausklang des Tages getrunken haben. Mansoor Mohamed und Sylvesters sprechen englisch auf einem sehr hohen Niveau. Sylvester ist ein sehr belesener und rücksichtsvoller Guide, Mansoor Mohamed ist ein ausgezeichneter Autofahrer. Danke.
Jibu and Mansoor are the best team for this tour

Mansoor ( driver ) and Jibu ( tour guide ) are the best . They are very patient . Give us time to do all the things we need to see . Jibu is very knowledgeable about Tanzania . For a very short period of time he was able to explain to us the important history , current events , Tanzanian culture introduce us to Tanzanian food while we see all the places that was in the itinerary. This duo team are excellent . I wish I have more time to do a safari tour with this 2 guys .
