Additional Information

My name is Kibe, a native of Dar es salaam. I’m relaxed and fervent. I’ve spent over 5 years working in the Market before transitioning to another job. Our family has had a workshop in the Kariakoo Market since 1978 up to recent times. I’m knowledgeable about the lesser-known treasures of my city.

Dar es Salaam holds a captivating history. Kariakoo is the oldest and most symbolic market in East Africa, contributing greatly to Dar es salaam’s economy.

The market played a significant role in Tanzania’s economics following the end of colonial rule in Tanganyika.

The extensive market is divided into three segments. We will explore all areas and may even try out some of the products.

Many people reserve my tour specifically for their needs in the Market, so if you’re looking to make purchases like souvenirs, let me know. We can tailor the tour to your needs with advance notice.

Immerse yourself in Swahili lifestyle and make the most of this memorable experience.
