Wonderful tour - I recently went on a bike tour in Dar es Salaam with Afri Roots, and it was absolutely wonderful. I wouldn't want to have missed it! It was a great decision to book directly with Afri Roots. The tour started at 09:00, and when I contacted the company, they responded right away. The tour took us to places I never would have discovered otherwise, offering a unique glimpse into the lives of the locals and the vibrant atmosphere of the city. We had the opportunity to try many local foods and drinks, which was an incredible experience. This tour was truly one of a kind, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore Dar es Salaam in an authentic and engaging way.

Authentic insights into everyday life in an African megapolis - We discovered a completely unknown Dar es Salam together with Afri Roots and our guide Jerry! We got to know interesting neighborhoods of the town we woud otherwise not have visited, Jerry told us a lot of interesting facts and stories about everyday life in an African metropolis as Dar es Salam. We enjoyed being introduced into regional coffee ceremonies and other interesting small and smaller businesses. A unique experience with a dedicated, charming and well informed guide. Thank you, Jerry! Highly recommended to all visitors of Dar es Salam interested in life beyond the city centre and the beaches.

Jerry was a great tour guide - We went by bajaji since it was too hot for bicycles. We saw places in Dar we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Highly recommend

Solo Bike Tour - Alone with my guide, Jerry, we biked through multiple Swahili neighborhoods, including the marketplace and his home. All my questions were welcomed, whether historical or silly. A unique experience that both let me discover a lifestyle in Dar es Salaam I wouldn't have otherwise known, and Afriroots supports all the small businesses I visited. The helmet could have been a little cleaner, but the bike was in good enough condition and the time we biked alongside cars was limited.

A must do in Dar es Salaam - I feel privileged to have been given a window into parts of Dar Es Salaam that I would never have seen, let alone be invited into. We saw and met all kinds of people and entered a variety of small (and I mean SMALL) neighborhood businesses. It was utterly fascinating. And Afriroots went out of their way to make it easy for us to arrive at the meeting place, arranging a taxi to pick us up and then take us to other places we wanted to visit afterwards.

Taste of real Dar es Salaam. Highly recommend if you see how people live there - This tour is much better as it described. If you really want to feel Dar es Salaam, just go and try with them. Jeffrey was out guide who also lives in one of the area he showed. So we had very authentic experience. The bile tour is 12km, but with many stops, so you wont feel. Overall 3-3,5hs but with bit of coffee, sweets and refreshments. I really enjoyed it.

Great experience - Great tour, great guide. Very interesting experience, highly recommend. 12 km bike tour of different neighborhoods with many stops in small shops etc along the way. Great way to experience parts of Dar es Salaam, where tourists would not normally go. Contact the tour operator directly on whatsapp: +255763652641

Not a trustworthy agency - Booked 24h in advance, no way to contact them to reconfirm. In the end, nobody showed up and I am still waiting for my refund!
