Is the biggest commercial city in Tanzania today, Dar es Salaam features a number of German colonial memory sites which range from buildings, statues to open spaces. The Askari monument, a life-sized bronze structure of the King’s African Rifleman located at the junction of Samora Avenue and Maktaba Street, is traced in German times. The monument was erected in the 1920s replacing the former Wissmann Monument which was erected in 1906 in honour of Major Hauptmann Hermann von Wissmann (1853-1905), a German commander (Reichskommissar) who had succeeded in suppressing African resistances in East Africa.

The county enjoys beautiful scenery – Indian ocean blue clear water, coconut trees, green areas,  and some neighbor islands of Bongoyo and Mbudya long island beaches and  shorelines, great nature reserves and amazing white sand good for  swimming, snorkeling, diving and enjoying the sunrise and sunset.
