Msasani Bay View
We have stayed in a number of places in Dar es Salaam, but this one has been the best so far: great location directly on the beach, lots of excellent restaurants in the vicinity, great supermarket a short Poa-ride away, a safe, quiet house in a compound and Junaid is extremely responsive and helpful with any queries that may come up. Definitely a place to come back to in the future.
