De jure capital, and de facto eternally in the shadow of Dar es Salaam city, Dodoma is a manifesto of human determination contrary to habit and common sense .Designed for high officials, the buildings never witnessed their fateful decisions for the benefit of the country, and today the government comes to Dodoma only for the weekend, still based in Dar-es-Salaam .However, despite such a secondary nature, Dodoma is a very lively and cheerful city: there are two universities and, as a result, many restaurants, bars and discos (by the way, Dodoma is also a developing wine region) .In addition to entertainment, the city is saturated with spiritual food - here is one of the important Sikh temples .The

How to get to

Dodoma has its own airport serving only domestic flights. To get to this city from Russia, it is more convenient to arrive at the airport of Dar es Salaam, from where you can get to Dodoma by domestic airline Air Zara. Time in flight - 1 hour, cost - about $ 130.

Dar es Salaam and Dodoma are also linked by a steady bus service. A lot of buses are sent daily, which allows to avoid long waiting in Dar es Salaam. Among the most comfortable buses are Shabibi Buses (the cost of the trip is about $ 90). The distance is 490 km, the journey time is about 6 hours (with a stop in Morogoro).

Dodoma is located on the main railway line connecting Dar es Salaam with Kigoma. Theoretically, you can use this mode of transport, but keep in mind that in reality, train delays can last for many hours and breakages are not ruled out.

Transport in the city

According to Dodom you can move by taxi - there are more cars here. A short trip within the city center will cost in the range of 1-2 $. In addition, amateurs of "going to the people" are invited to take a ride on public transport - buses "dala-dala". Routes along Dodoma and the surrounding area are darkness; the starting and ending points are indicated on the windshield, but at the entrance to the bus it is necessary to specify if you will reach the place you need. We advise you to clarify loud and clear, as well as to ask again once. The travel costs a penny - less than 0, 20 $.

In Dodoma there are also several bicycle rental outlets. For the day of rent asking for $ 3-4.

Kitchen and Dodoma Restaurants

Dodoma has a decent number of expats, and here you can dine not only with English and Tanzanian dishes, but also with European, Asian, Indian and Chinese cuisines. Recommended places include the restaurant of the hotel New Dodoma, Rose's Café, Chuka la Chuka and Veta. Tasty Italian dishes are served in Leone Africano (in the vicinity of the airport). You can drink a mug of beer in the Climax Club and Rose Garden. Also pay attention to local wines produced by Tanganyika Vineyards Company.

Shopping and shopping

Most of the tourist-worthy shops are located in the center of Dodoma between the airport and the train station .Here you can buy a variety of souvenirs and trinkets: ebony wood statuettes, ornaments from minerals and more expensive products with semiprecious and precious stones (for example, with the local curiosity - tanzanite, as well as rubies, sapphires, emeralds and garnets) .From the gifts of nature of Tanzania, pay attention to the spices of Zanzibar (vanilla, cloves, nutmeg) and honey from the outskirts of Tabor, considered a delicacy in the country .The

Entertainment, excursions and attractions Dodoma

In the city itself there are not many attractions - most of the architectural monuments are in Dar es Salaam. A complex of urban buildings (also earthquake-proof), intended for those who did not move to the Dodoma of the Parliament of the country, belongs to the buildings that are not very interesting.

Among the buildings of the cult can be identified mosque Ismaili, Lutheran, Anglican and Catholic cathedrals. In Dodoma one of the important Sikh temples is based. Access there is open to all comers, and caretakers invariably offer guests tea with sweet food.

A newly opened geological museum (Museum of Geosciences) deserves attention.

To survey the city from the top, go to the Lion Rock (Lion Rock), located a few kilometers north-east of the center of Dodoma. The ascent is not difficult, but the view is wonderful. It is recommended that you do this not alone, as robbers come into this area. Photos Dodomas (15)
