Family-friendly vacation rentals in Dar es Salaam

Nice apartment set back from the road in a lovely green tree-shaded compound. The accommodation was very clean and well-supplied, with daily maid service. The compound is secure, with 24-hour guard. Housekeeping staff are always available. The location on the peninsula is very convenient, just across from Slipway and only about ten minutes walk to Village supermarket and other amenities. Highly recommended.

Very nice apartment, close to pretty much everything. We had a couple issues with the bathroom and the maintenance guys were very quick to do the repair. I will definerly look to stay here when l return in March if it's available.

I highly recommend staying at Justa's place! Sinza is a very lively, authentic neighborhood with lots of fruit and vegetable stalls, small restaurants and very friendly people. Location is great and close to the university but a little bit further from the city centre. We felt welcome from the very first second. Thanks again, also especially to John, Helen, Maviki ad of course Justa!

We had a very nice stay in Oyster Bay! The apartment is very spacious and the complex is beautiful. Gloria was a great host: very responsive and helped us with our requests. We will stay again if we are back in Dar es Salaam.

We brought a large group to stay at Prisca's place for two weeks. Prisca was very communicative and extremely accommodating. She purchased additional mattresses, sheets, and towels for our group. She purchased a water dispenser for us when we requested one. There were some problems in the house during our stay (which is common in Tanzania), but her local staff were quick to help us. The house is massive and can accommodate a lot of people and has A/Cs and water heaters throughout. The kitchen is big but not particularly well stocked; we needed to buy a bunch of our own utensils in order to properly cook for so many people. The location is pretty far north of Dar, but it was worth it for the great price and Prisca's great service.

perfect place to stay with great location , only one thing missing is smart TV 😊

Recommending for business and leisure travels, located in residential suburbs with all amenities available….closer to the restaurants and shopping malls , ATM’s and all type of transportation…We recommend Magdalena place

Beautiful place, just as the pictures show. Super peaceful. Close to the beach. Nice yard with nice plants, chickens, fruit trees. Halima, Wase, and Jonas were very helpful and communicative. Only two small things to be mindful of: plan ahead with Halima on wifi and directions to the location (though my Uber may just have had trouble finding it). It didn’t take away from the experience at all and she was very helpful when I asked, but I could’ve been better about asking earlier. Regardless, I would 100% recommend the place and would love to come back

Very nice apartment, perfect location. Very spacious and has everything you need. A bit outdated looks wise but apart from that: 10 out of 10.

Superb place

Another Great Stay! We recently stayed at this property for the second time, and it was just as wonderful as our first visit! The accommodation was perfect for our family, and we loved being just a 10 minute's walk from the beach. The location is unbeatable, making it easy to enjoy the sun and sand. The hosts were always welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We can't wait to come back again! Asante sana Mariam!

The place is at a very good location and the house has very good ventilation, good sea breeze and very close to beach restaurants and supermarkets

This is a really nice apartment for a family. don't have anything bad to say really. very nice building complex, which is well maintained by multiple staff. really friendly guards at the gates. an extra plus was the nice pool with a sun roof, which helps if you want to swim with children for a longer time. very close to the ocean, and also good stores and restaurants. the apartment is very spacious. feels larger than it looks on the pictures. it was very easy to feel at home.

Very nice and calm place in Oyster Bay. Online Maps seem to have the road name wrong (Yasser Arafat Road instead of Mkwawa Road). Maybe it was recently changed. The apartment is in the same building complex as the Amigos Restaurant (behind it), where you can also have lunch, dinner or a drink in the evening. The apartment at ground level is very well equipped with the kitchen, TV and office desk. It is very spacious and I felt right at home. There is a 24/7 security and electric fence, so no reason to feel uncomfortable. The receptionist and cleaning staff were very friendly and helpful. You can reach your private balcony with pool view through the bedroom and living room. In front of the entrance, there are often motorcycles or bajajis waiting, or you can take a bolt or uber. To coco beach, you can even walk. I would definitely come back here!

Me and my family completely fell in love with this apartment! The size of the apartment is incredible and was family friendly for our little boy to run around and feel free. The bedrooms were great size, and don’t get me started on the views, especially the view from the master bedroom balcony! We were more than happy on the location of this apartment as it was round the corner from a supermarket that’s friendly to both locals and foreigners. You are only a short taxi ride away from well known restaurants such as The Waterfront or the Seacliff hotel. The security downstairs made me feel safe, and once they were familiar with our faces, we always felt greeted with a friendly smile. The pool is covered from the sun, but we found this family friendly. My only constructive criticism is that it could do with a fresh lick of paint just to refresh and show off how stunning it really is. And some extra towels in the bedrooms. I will be booking again in future, thanks again Zain.

This was our fourth stay at Hans’ place. It’s become our go to landing place when visiting Dar. The location couldn’t be better with great restaurants nearby and a supermarket in the same building.

The host was prompt in response and made every effort to fix the issue. I really appreciated the apartment's location and how spotless it was when I arrived. - J
