DAR'S STREET NAMES
For a mini overview of Tanzanian and African history, watch the street names as
you follow the Dar es Salaam Walking Tour. Luthuli St, for example, is named
after Albert Luthuli, the former South African ANC (African National Con-
gress) president. Shaaban Robert St honours one of Tanzania's most famous
writers, while Sokoine Dr is named after Edward Moringe Sokoine, who served
as prime minister and was considered to be Julius Nyerere's most likely suc-
cessor until he was killed in a car crash in 1984.

rooms, except for one single, which is tiny. All have minifridge and flyscreens in the win-

something more upmarket than the standard budget places. Next door is Al Basha restaur-
ant.
