Other Things to Note:
The host is more than willing to give an hour or two during the weekend to show you the neighborhood starting with a visit to Mbalamwezi beach or Velisas which are less than 10-minute drive away. Follow up with a stopover at one of the Largest local artisan the infamous tinga-tinga paintings and Makonde (wooden figurines) market is Peninsula area.

All this is to make sure your trip to Dar es Salaam is memorable and worth it.

For pick and drop off: We will recommend to Use Uber, however, we are more than willing to arrange transportation services (charged separately) from the airport or ferry pick up, drop off as well as Dar es Salaam town trips.

Mars Residency is in a quiet residential area with a number of great places to visit just a few kilometers away.

Close to a basketball court in a community estate of TPDC in Mikocheni.

Our first President and Father of the Nation, the late Mwalimu Julius Nyerere and the second President of the nation, H.E. President Ali Hassan Mwinyi!

Food: The area is surrounded by multi-cuisine eateries from restaurants serving typical Swahili foods, to restaurants serving gourmet meals, not forgetting the convenience of fast food outlets such as KFC and Pizza Hut.
