Training venue

Dar es Salaam offers international-standard hotels with conference and training facilities, including properties from IHG, Marriott, and Rotana brands in the city centre and Msasani Peninsula. Expect reliable AV equipment and catering at upper-tier venues; confirm backup power arrangements given occasional grid fluctuations.

Getting there

Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) is approximately 12 km southwest of the city centre, with Terminal 3 handling international flights. Pre-arranged hotel transfers or ride-hailing apps (Uber/Bolt) are recommended, as city traffic can be severe — allow 1–2 extra hours during rush periods.

Visa

Tanzania offers an eVisa system via visa.immigration.go.tz; most nationalities can apply online (USD 50 ordinary / USD 100 multiple-entry for US passport holders) or obtain a visa on arrival. Applications are processed within ten days, so delegates should apply well in advance and confirm requirements with the nearest Tanzanian embassy.

Safety

Exercise standard urban precautions: use official or pre-booked transport (especially after dark), keep valuables concealed, and stay vigilant in crowded markets. Pickpocketing targeting visitors has been reported in tourist areas, so carry only what you need.
