"Southern Sun Dar review"
First impressions were how friendly and helpful the Tanzanian people are.

"A good stopover hotel for a night"
"Southern Sun Dar review"
It did take a long time to reach the hotel due to road works so a hotel closer to the airport would be better if the traffic problems continue" See all these reviews: 9n in Tanzania
"Good hotel for overnight stay"
It proved to be a good idea as it allowed us a nights rest before starting the safari element of the trip. The hotel was clean, food was reasonable and it fitted the bill perfectly for a one night stay.
The only real issue was the time taken to get from Dar es Salaam International airport to the hotel as the traffic was truly awful, but you can't blame the hotel for that." See all these reviews: 9n in Tanzania

"Southern Sun Dar review"
Went to the botanical gardens next door and was approached by a man who had 'worked there for 20 years' who insisted on showing us around. Naïvely agreed and it turned out he was just after a 'tip'.
We walked around Dar as a couple and it is not a tourist destination. That said while we were the subject of some curiosity we were not hassled in anyway." See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania
