This post contains pictures taken during a summer spent travelling in Tanzania.
Since many of you come to this post searching for ‘Tanzania city pictures’.
Let me begin with those.

Tanzania Photos
Do not be fooled that the pictures below are not of a city in Tanzania.
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania’s largest city, is right on the shores of the Indian Ocean and has both amazing beaches and amazing views of the ocean.

Pictures of Tanzania Africa
As I was walking along Kutani beach, about 25 km south of downtown Dar es Salaam, I came across this set-up that piqued my curiosity.
Finally, I was setting eyes on Ras Kutani, an upmarket “camp” by the Selous Safari Company, which I had heard lots about.
This friendly waiter seemed ready to receive the camp’s guests for evening drinks by the ocean.
Aye aye aye, another mental note made: I need to visit Ras Kutani one day soon. (I hope it doesn’t take me as long as it did to get to Amani Beach…see no. 30 on this list to understand what I mean by that.)

Tanzania Country Pictures No. 38: The Dar es Salaam Fish Market
In the comments to yesterday’s post (no. 29 on this list), I confessed to a fellow Instagrammer (@loftyransom) that though I have lived in Dar es Salaam for 10 years, give or take, I have never once been to the fish market.
@LoftyRansom, who lives in Lagos, Nigeria, quickly put me to shame by sending me pictures via private message of him visiting Dar es Salaam’s fish market on a recent trip to Dar es Salaam.

Drinking (super healthy) coconut water at Coco Beach, a public beach in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Coconut water, not to be confused with coconut milk, is the clear liquid found inside young coconuts, known locally in Swahili as ‘madafu’.

Tanzania Pictures No. 34: Protea Hotel Dar es Salaam Amani Beach
For 5 years, I’ve had a mental note to go check out the beaches further afield on Dar es Salaam’s south beach (Kigamboni).
I finally made my way to Protea Hotel Dar es Salaam Amani Beach a few weekends ago. What made me wait so long?!

Tanzania Pictures No. 33: The University of Dodoma
On my recent trip to Tanzania’s capital, Dodoma, I had the pleasure of visiting the University of Dodoma (UDOM). UDOM is a beautiful grand facility that is still under construction, though classes have been going on there for the last 10 years.
When completed, the University of Dodoma will be able to handle a student body of 50,000, about triple the size of the student body at the University of Dar es Salaam in 2007, when the University of Dodoma first opened. What a great addition to Tanzania’s tertiary institution capacity!
Do/did any of you, my followers, attend the University of Dodoma?
If so, what is it like being a student there?
