I was born in the Tanzanian city of Dar es Salaam. I enjoy traveling, going on hikes, taking pictures, and making videos.
There is nothing that I have done more passionately than venture out to enjoy the beauty that our nation and nature have to offer, having lived and traveled through nearly every major city in my country.
Greetings from Tanzania. We say "KARIBU" (welcome) in Swahili.

Tour description
Free Gastronomy Food Tour – Taste Dar es Salaam Like a Local!
Step into the heart of Dar es Salaam and let your taste buds guide you!
My Free Gastronomy Food Tour is not just about food—it’s about living the local life, walking through colorful markets, and sharing authentic flavors with the people of Tanzania.
- Kariakoo Market – Discover exotic fruits you’ll only find in Tanzania, bursting with freshness.
- Fish Market – Watch fishermen bring in the day’s catch and enjoy seafood straight from the Indian Ocean—crispy fish, prawns & octopus.
- Vingunguti Nyama Choma – Feel the vibe at the famous BBQ market with smoky goat meat, juicy skewers & ugali.
- Kisutu Market – (Optional) Join a local cooking session and learn the secrets of Tanzanian cuisine.
- Mnazi Mmoja – Taste the morning life of Dar with vitafunwa—chapati, maandazi, vitumbua, kalimati and samosas
Why join?
Because food is the easiest way to connect with culture. This tour gives you the chance to taste, explore, and create memories that no guidebook can offer.
Come with an appetite for adventure, leave with a full stomach and a deeper love for Dar es Salaam!
