Is Dar es Salaam safe for tourists?

Yes, Dar es Salaam is safe to visit. Avoid wearing dazzling jewelry or publicly carrying valuables. Keep an eye out for the terrible traffic. At night, try to only hire taxi drivers suggested by your hotel or restaurant, or those you know. If you're heading out late, it's a good idea to schedule a pick-up with a reputable taxi service. It's also advisable not to walk around, even between pubs and after dark. While at a bar or club, keep your drinks covered or out of sight. Dressing modestly can help you avoid unwanted attention. Crime is an issue in the city, but this should not deter you from traveling to Dar es Salaam.
