Dar Es Salaam Zoo is located 37 km from the Dar Es Salaam city centre. It is is designed to provide a unique opportunity for the general public especially those living in and around Dar Es Salaam city and neighboring towns, to get away from the boredom of everyday life activities in their congested areas to come and relax peacefully and spend their leisure time in a fresh and natural environment. It is a place to visit with your children so as to accord them with rich outdoor facilities which are essential for their holistic development as well as for building a firm and conductive experience for their later education and life.

Dar Es Salaam Zoo also provides an excellent opportunity for professionals who wish to study natural science through interacting directly with animals and plants both wild and domestic which are found in the Zoo. It is an ideal place for tourists young and old, regional and international because of its unique features and abundance of Multi- interest facilities.

The Zoo is preserved with natural flora and fauna. To add to its attraction a river with crystal clear and cool water flows through it all year round providing a sanctuary for the other forms of wild life and the environment. Many plant species are growing in their natural habitat with little or no human interference. A few rare species however are also being introduced to add to the flavor of the Dar Es Salaam Zoo’s attraction.

A number of wild birds have found sanctuary on the Dar Es Salaam Zoo and can be seen every where enjoying the peaceful environment and abundance of wild fruits.
