What do people like (and dislike) about Dar es Salaam?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Dar es Salaam, they replied...
"Expats and digital nomads living in Dar es Salaam, often like the friendly and welcoming nature of the local people, which makes it easier for them to settle in and feel at home. They also appreciate the vibrant culture, rich history, and beautiful natural surroundings, including stunning beaches and wildlife reserves. The warm climate and affordable cost of living are other factors that attract expats and digital nomads to the city. On the other hand, some of the challenges faced by expats and digital nomads in Dar es Salaam include the lack of reliable and fast internet connectivity, which can be a significant issue for those who rely on the internet for work. Traffic congestion and poor infrastructure can also be frustrating, making it difficult to navigate the city and access essential services. Additionally, the healthcare system in Tanzania may not be up to the standards that some expats are used to, and they may need to seek private healthcare or travel to other countries for certain treatments. Finally, the language barrier can be a challenge for some, as Swahili is the primary language spoken in Tanzania, and not everyone speaks English fluently," explained one expat living in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
