I had the opportunity to meet some people who with interaction in Swahili language. Kevin helped me for understanding and translation. This tour is very fine for tourists who already know a few Swahili words, then want to learn more.

“Half day around Dar es Salaam”
My wife and I had a great time going from site to site in Dar es Salaam with Kevin. Kevin was a great guide and I am very happy we chose a guide to show us around. We were able to take in a lot more of the city than if we tried to explore on our own.
