Is this the only zoo in Dar es salaam? Because it is so amazing. Guides are so informed and very educated. More than 20 animal species domestic and wild are available. They also have a special food programme that you can order a day before you go. Carry some biscuits the monkeys love them. Never seen an Eagle face to face but here a saw to a lady and a gentleman. Also saw a secretary bird see photos below.

We started from Dar es salaam city and it was around 40mins by uber. It costed us 25k shilling. Half way of the road is dusty and not paved. Zoo is the located just by the road and very easy to find. Entrance fee for tourists is 20 $ but they charge local rate and that is only 6000 shillings. Guides will charge 15k. Recommended to take a guide as it will help the community, but you dont need a guide to be honest. Only Liions are theire for big five. Many bird variations and crockediles are there. Restaurant provide good food. Visit to the zoo is worth for the local rate, only concern is its bit too far to see such limited number of animals.

Spent a day and night at this unique zoo. It has varieties of animals and nice spots to relax with family and friends. Get to experience and learn about nature and both wild and domestic animals. The Dar es Salaam zoo society is very friendly and helpful.

Bad experience.. poorly maintained.. animals are in terrible condition.. has a swimming pool area but no water most of the time.. food is dry n cheap.. needs proper care by the management..

foreigner $20 wow Even a dollar is waste. They have to pay me for going there.

Dar es salaam Zoo gives an opportunity to foreigners and locals to get close to animals and interact with some animals such as monkeys, horses, donkeys and camels, also providing a dream ride for the visitors. Nguva river is also one of the biggest attraction of Dar es salaam Zoo, providing water and cool climate for the natural vegetation attracting different species of colourful and uniquely attractive birds, butterflies and other natures beauty creations. It is one of the largest zoo's in East Africa hence providing its singular taste for both locals and foreigners. Thanks For Watching! 🙏🏻 ————————

The dar es salaam zoo is nice place for recreational activities, studying and widening your experience base.There are lots of animals domestic animals and wild animals.they also have birds of manh kinds found on Africa. The zoo also has playing grounds and a swimming pool for the kids where by after your tour you can go and relax. The services are splendid ,they have good hospitality for all races.

This is indeed the best place to visit and see animals if one is unable to visit a park. Its well organised, very great customer care and such a place to spend your weekend with your family.

I had a great experience on my day visit at dares salaam zoo

Nicely arranged zoo with a good presence of animals in good health. The zoo is well maintained and all staff are very courteous and polite. Even under current circumstances the owners have maintained the zoo well and very clean. Nice place for a one day family outing.

Nice place with diverse activities Animals.... 💧 swimming 4 adults and children swings for children. Horse n camel riding Above all there dishes 🍣🍩🍘🍳🍳🍳🍳

The Dar es Salaam Zoo offered a pleasant experience, showcasing captivating creatures such as lions, lionesses, hyenas, monkeys, and more. However, the limited variety of animals was noticeable, lacking larger species like rhinos, giraffes, and elephants.

DAR ES SALAAM ZOO keeping Wild and Domestic animls for you to see all of them togetger in one place for a smoothly and cheap price than you can imagine. We have Experienceful tour guiders, ample car parking. You can also get Soft drinks and food within our Zoo. Play ground and swimming pools for kids, Ridding post (Camels, Horses and Donkey cart). Come watch, learn and enjoy with DAR ES SALAAM ZOO.

A very nice zoo. They have a lot of animals and some rare animals too. They have two swimming pools ; one for adults and one for children. They also have a place where you can chill beside the pool under the trees feeling the cold breeze.

Not sure why some rated it high. Actually poorly maintained. The nature feel is raw but that's not what's expected from a place which is famous for its flora & fauna. The guide was quite good. Overall just an okay experience.

Is a nice place you can see and learn alot about wild animals and birds

Great Zoo To come and enjoy, we had fun here

Nice place for kids to see the animals and swim in the pool also.. few things to improve #Map of zoo #Food #Roads etc

It's good and our tour guide Issa was good as well..

(Translated by Google) I was very neglected and I saw that most of the animals were hungry (Original) Çok bakımsız ve hayvanların çoğunun aç olduğunu gördüm

The tour guider was so informative. Luckily enough, it wasn't a crowded day so we had a lot of time to see each and every animal in the zoo. Guys, nature is amazing😊😍The trees around are cure and really treat diseases.

Nice place to visit in Dar but the need to maintain the place and environment cleanliness. Otherwise you can enjoy seeing animals at very close range

Nice place to visit with family

Had a company event at the zoo...it was a two-in-one event! We visited with 30 children from the orphanage centre and celebrated company's Family Day! We all had so much fun and bonded well with the kids from the centre! We had an outside caterer and beverages cause we needed varieties, the entrance fee is affordable so as the tour guide! They have kids entertainment, football pitch, swimming pool, animal rides, etc. For big groups who need a new adventure, this is it!

Great natural scenery. Loved the birds and the animals.

I was amazed ,not knowing that in Dar es salaam One could Easily see the Big Five Animals .Three of the Big Five are present and Easily seen at the Zoo.2lions and 7 Lioness,Three Leopards one a cub.Lots of other Animals,Birds,Collection of Antique from the Coastline of the Indian Ocean.Snakes and Much More.Good Swimming Pool and Children playing Ground Equipped with lot of Plays including Electric Train.Its A never miss Destination for All. Locals and Foreigners.Just Driving Distance from the City center crossing the Magagoni Ferry.

Nice place for kids to learn good number of birds but animals have decreased compared to previous years. Maintenance needed to keep standards up.

Nice place but still needs to add few more animals

Nice place, not much animals and you can see old tradition utensils, clock and many machines. Environment was good and even you will get a volunteer guide. You can give some tips to guide. I give 3 star because the zoo is not maintained well and animals don't have comfort.

A wonderful experience. After this visit I truly urge members to visit and experience the zoo. There has been massive changes from my last visit and there is hope that much more will be done. Cars are allowed to enter which is an extra fee but is an advantage for those who can't walk or those who can't walk for long. Although it's far and the roads are rough, there is changes being made to the roads which will soon be tar which is an advantage to many of those who haven't been there.

My Family went for a weekend visit. It was a go return trip. I had the best time ever. This is the second of many more times i will go. There are lots of Animals . Diffferent Species and the Tour guide was so good. I enjoyed seeing Monkey Momo dancing, The Ostrichs i loved everything. Highly recommended to visit.

prices are very reasonable and affordable

Fantastic. We really enjoyed seeing almost all animals at a very cheap price. And the guides were very helpful. Guides are trained on scientific background of animals and their habitats.

We are grateful to Dsm Zoo for still managing to run this place and give us a place to spend some relaxing time with family in such hard times of the pandemic , it surely gets tough to run such a huge place with such low ratio of visitors. The lions looked underfed . They seem to be the main attraction of the Zoo . A humble request to look into their feeding matter . Once again ,thank you and wish you the best .

Great Experience....but dont like animals in Captivity..

Nice

Perfect gateway from dar, spend a few hours here learning about the domestic animals and wild ones, And ofcourse the king of the jungle, locked up In cage.

Very good for the little ones

A once in a lifetime experience

Run down now... Only thing possitive is that they have around 7 lions and couple of leopards... No elephant or Giraffe

(Translated by Google) A very relaxing place for the family (Original) Un lieu tres reposant en famille

Goood

It is a nice place to visit this zoo but I request the management of the dar es Salaam zoo to keep the board at the outside of the main road entering inside the rough road. Please ask the authorities to make a tarmet road inside. It is very far from the kigamboni bridge to dar es Salaam zoo.

Kept well

You can see several animals but not in their nature.

It was amazing it was there a different animals including Lions

It was lots of fun. I saw lots of animals

We can meet with so many East-African Animals!

A-bit far and i didn’t know cars were allowed inside the zoo so we were so tired walking. Good tour guides and the leopards were the highlight of the trip.

Not really great but for the guide i will 5 star however the road is worst incase u have big vehicle or 4 X 4 is good to Drive

Nice place to visit, They should improve food choices

A nice place for holiday or weejend getaway with family...

COMBINATION OF MANY ACTIVITIES AND THINGS TO DO IN ONE PLACE, THEY HAVE A LOT OF ANIMALS LIKE YOU ARE IN NGORONGORO OR SERENGETI PARK, RESTAURANTS WITH SPICE FOODS, POOL, RIVER, GARDENS AND FORESTRY AWESOME VIEW MAKES THIS PARK TO BE REALY AMAIZING, IT'S BETTER TO GO BY PRIVATE CAR, ENTRANCE FEE IS TZS 6,000 PP.

Very nice really enjoyed

Great place to go with family for refreshing

the place need maintenance eg pavements, and restocking of some animals eg kudu, sable, bucks, warthogs etc, and birds like peacocks could make it more attractive

It is a nice place for kids and the general population ... A variety of wild animals are available for viewing

Lots of monkeys and birds to watch. Our guide was also very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. He knew the animal names in both Swahili and English. Transport to the place was a challenge from Daresalam town.

It’s a bit run down but still a great place to spend some hours visiting the animals. They have a lot to see, and there’s a playground for kids.

Is to far away from where i was staying and they need a road there it will help people arrive safely and it will help people who leave their the Zoo him self nice place I love it my opinion if first time for u better ask for a tour guide he will explain for u every thing in One and half hours I have many idea for future to improve the Zoo contact me please

It's a nice place to bring kids...

Nice place to have a family retreat with the kids!!

Nice

🌀🤗⭐

😊

It has a good range of animals. Would be nice if all the facilities are working like the mini theme park. Considering we were couples with their kids. Most things were said to be not working at the moment

Its good

Nice place to visit.

Fun place

Lovely

Has a variety of wild animals and interactive tour guiders to take you around the park

Because i saw many animals and learned their behaviour

Good

Ts too far

The road to the zoo is not good and its long. Not many animals tho the people there are very nice. Guide knows the animals plus he's very friendly. We had a good time

Great zoo and amazingly maintained

It was very difficult to find the zoo for us .. Even though we went by taxi, the taxi driver could not even find the way ... Roads should be put plates ... The animals smelled. It would be cleaner if they washed once a week .. And the guide was accompanied when I didn't want a guide. We thought it was free. He wanted 10 thousand shillings. İts not a normal tip

It was one of the beautiful day of my life, simply impressive wild animals and domestic animals zoo. Best place to visit at Dar Es Salaam.

It's nice place to visit

Nice place for recreation

Well come ladies and gentleman to see its beautiful

I love this place they have a lot of animal with very good looking nature and I enjoyed a lot to play some games and riding horse also I won't forget the day I touched a lion cub. Men you should visit this beautiful and creative place with a lot of adventures don't forget to bring you wife and children because they won't forget how it fill to be their

The place is very nice , neat and well arrange, there is variety of animal's so beautiful, but the service is awful. Last time we went there there was no guards to show us around no one to ask inside the zoo and we roam the while zoo by our self. The service is 3/10 😔

Should improve their infrastructure

The best place to enjoy

So awesome

It was a great day out for the whole family to enjoy. Its a massive place and it takes time to get around the zoo and have kids enjoy the rides + swimming, its best to get there early, to enjoy and chill out. The sign post from the bridge to the zoo should be visible to visitors showing direction to get to the zoo otherwise you can easily waste time try to find the place. The zoo is a bit far from the bridge. I also think for people who come for picnic, should be allowed to brong food as big familys spend hours there. There are no toilets close to the mosque which abit inconvinient. Otherwise thumbs up👍

Wonderful zoo in Dar city

Lovely place

Cool place to enjoy with family

Place is good but the road is not in good condition which is connecting to Zoo and no road sign and even google map is also confusing many a times...I feel there were less number of animals this time compared to few years back

Nice

(Translated by Google) A great place for families ... (Original) مكان رائع للعوائل...

Helps to refresh mind and know more about the living things

(Translated by Google) Good thumbs (Original) Good palce

Apid too much and didn't even get to see all the animals...had to wait a long time just to hold the lion cub

Absolutely lovely! Get to learn and see most east African animals under one roof!
