Southern Sun Dar es Salaam

In the heart of Dar es Salaam, a short walk from the Botanical Gardens and about three minutes on foot to the main conference centre. Tucked in a quiet stretch near the sea and within easy reach of the city centre. A family-friendly hotel option with complimentary Wi-Fi throughout.

Rooms are air-conditioned and simple but solid — think minibars, satellite TV, desks and private bathrooms with separate tubs and showers. The property is wheelchair accessible with elevators and offers concierge and tour-desk help to book local excursions. Expect a restrained, modern vibe and sea-breeze mornings thanks to the nearby coastline.

Outdoor pool and fitness center are the big draws for downtime. Onsite services include valet parking, shuttle options (surcharges may apply), laundry and dry cleaning, babysitting for families, and a barbecue area. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available across the property and a tour desk can arrange city transfers and excursions.

Equipped for meetings and events with a business center, meeting/banquet facilities and about 516 sq ft (48 sq m) of conference space. Extras include express check-in and limo/town-car service; the complimentary Wi-Fi keeps work flowing.

Two on-site restaurants serve international dishes and local flavors, plus a bar/lounge for evening drinks. A complimentary full breakfast is offered daily from early morning (4:30 AM) to 11:00 AM, and 24-hour room service is available for late arrivals.
