Sightseeing
A walking distance, about 10 mins away, i recommend the back route where there are less cars. Slipway is a must to visit, a beautiful calm and relaxed open area overlooking the ocean, free to visit and have a look around, shops, books, restaurants, meet up place, kids play area (open at certain times and need to pay a small entrance fee), pharmacy, day trips to a nearby island adventure, fresh fish, tourist information centre, post box and much more all in one space.

The site comprises two small, forested areas on the outskirts of the city of Dar es Salaam: Pande Game Reserve (1,226 ha) to the north-west of the city and Dondwe forest (area unknown) to the south. Pande covers a low sandstone ridge 16 km from the Indian Ocean and 6 km from the Dar es Salaam to Bagamoyo road. Four distinct tree-species assemblages have been described. The remaining forest is surrounded by fire-maintained grassland and secondary scrub. Dondwe forest is rather ill-defined and is not mapped. The forested area so far identified is centred on an open prison and a private farm. Parts of Dondwe flood seasonally.
