A year into the Covid-19 pandemic and I’m reminiscing about a past trip to the city of Dar es Salaam. I have been to the "Haven of Peace" several times over the years, usually on work trips. But I never did a proper city tour until just before the coronavirus pandemic broke out.
The trip gave me the opportunity to experience the place as a Kenyan tourist. While it is possible to use public transport to tour the city, my two friends and I decided to book a taxi driver for the day. We started off the morning with a trip to the Kivukoni Fish Market, a fascinating place if you can stand the intense fishy smell that hangs in the air. Our driver insisted it was worth a tour, and that it is popular with visitors.
