What to expect
Old Boma
One of Dar es Salaam’s oldest surviving buildings, the Old Boma was built in the late 19th century and originally served as a German administrative center. Initially it was also used by the Omanis, then the Germans, the British, and later the Tanzanian government—making it a powerful symbol of the city’s shifting political eras. Today, this historic structure stands as a quiet reminder of Dar’s layered colonial past and its journey to independence.
