Oyster Bay Hotel

The Oyster Bay is a charming hotel, located on the dazzling seafront, in the ambassadorial and smart residential area of Dar es Salaam. Essentially a large private house and surrounded by lush gardens, this boutique hotel offers guests a real ‘home away from home’ during their obligatory stop over - either before or after a thrilling Tanzanian wildlife safari.

Just eight rooms facing the Indian Ocean are decorated in minimalist style with white walls and muted colors, each featuring a contemporary African design. All of the suites are particularly spacious with luxury king-size beds, air conditioning and a living area. Floor to ceiling French doors open onto private verandahs, capturing even the slightest of sea breezes. The distractingly pretty gardens, seaside location and a high wall surrounding the property, makes it easy to forget that you are overnighting in the middle of a bustling and vibrant African city.

The Oyster Bay is only 15 minutes from the city center and a 45 minute drive from the airport where you will be met on arrival by the hotel’s uniformed chauffeur. Take a stroll to the nearby Oyster Bay shopping center or pay a visit to one of the city’s local markets or the museum.
