4 Nightlife Experiences in Tanzania to Build a Day Around

1.A Nightlife Adventure with a Local Guide: Dar es salaam city

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 7 reviews · 3 hours · from $40Our pick

Join Derick Lawrence for three hours of Dar es Salaam nightlife, moving between bars, street food stops, a rooftop lounge, live African music, and a nightclub. The small group is limited to five participants, with transport included. Drinks, extra meals, and some venue fees cost extra.

“I was supposed to be picked up in a car but the car was unavailable. The guide picked me up on a bike instead which was fine. But the guide only brought me to one bar, no sampling of street food, did not go to the rooftop bar with city view, did not go to a nightclub and did not go to a local cinematic hall. The tour guide was also having few drinks which was not good as he was riding the bike. This tour is simply not worth it. Just take an Uber to Coco Beach and save money.”
