We had a nice time seeing the Zoo. The cages are clean and the animals are in food shape. The carnivores: lions, hyenas and leopards do not have good lives. There is zero stimulation in the cages for their imprisonment. We suggested some easy and cheap methods of entertainment, to aid in the relief of the depression of these animals. Simple dangling ropes, tires and toys are great, as well as hanging swings and bridges for climbing, are effective and easy ways to produce stimulation. The concrete floors these carnivores are subdued to live their lives on, are miserable. If they cannot leave the cages for a walk or to exercise their stiff bodies, why can they not have stimulation in the cage? The birds and small animals were well cared for. We were however concerned about the lack of water in some of the cages and suggested many times that it should be tend to. Please help to improve the circumstances for these carnivores, as this is not the life they should be living.

We started from Dar es salaam city and it was around 40mins by uber. It costed us 25k shilling. Half way of the road is dusty and not paved. Zoo is the located just by the road and very easy to find. Entrance fee for tourists is 20 $ but they charge local rate and that is only 6000 shillings. Guides will charge 15k. Recommended to take a guide as it will help the community, but you dont need a guide to be honest. Only Liions are theire for big five. Many bird variations and crockediles are there. Restaurant provide good food. Visit to the zoo is worth for the local rate, only concern is its bit too far to see such limited number of animals.

It was a great day out for the whole family to enjoy. Its a massive place and it takes time to get around the zoo and have kids enjoy the rides + swimming, its best to get there early, to enjoy and chill out. The sign post from the bridge to the zoo should be visible to visitors showing direction to get to the zoo otherwise you can easily waste time try to find the place. The zoo is a bit far from the bridge. I also think for people who come for picnic, should be allowed to brong food as big familys spend hours there. There are no toilets close to the mosque which abit inconvinient. Otherwise thumbs up

Had a company event at the zoo...it was a two-in-one event! We visited with 30 children from the orphanage centre and celebrated company's Family Day! We all had so much fun and bonded well with the kids from the centre! We had an outside caterer and beverages cause we needed varieties, the entrance fee is affordable so as the tour guide! They have kids entertainment, football pitch, swimming pool, animal rides, etc. For big groups who need a new adventure, this is it!

I was amazed ,not knowing that in Dar es salaam One could Easily see the Big Five Animals .Three of the Big Five are present and Easily seen at the Zoo.2lions and 7 Lioness,Three Leopards one a cub.Lots of other Animals,Birds,Collection of Antique from the Coastline of the Indian Ocean.Snakes and Much More.Good Swimming Pool and Children playing Ground Equipped with lot of Plays including Electric Train.Its A never miss Destination for All. Locals and Foreigners.Just Driving Distance from the City center crossing the Magagoni Ferry.

Хороший зоопарк. Из минусов: Дорога до зоопарка долгая и местами разбитая. На апрель 2019 нет слонов и жирафов. Нет табличек с названием животных. Зоопарк раскинулся на большой территории, указателей мало, не всегда легко найти животных. Из плюсов: В целом хороший чистый зоопарк, довольно просторные вольеры. Несколько обезьян гуляют на свободе рядом с клетками с сородичами, не боятся людей. В целом посетить стоит.

We are grateful to Dsm Zoo for still managing to run this place and give us a place to spend some relaxing time with family in such hard times of the pandemic , it surely gets tough to run such a huge place with such low ratio of visitors. The lions looked underfed . They seem to be the main attraction of the Zoo . A humble request to look into their feeding matter . Once again ,thank you and wish you the best .

Is this the only zoo in Dar es salaam? Because it is so amazing. Guides are so informed and very educated. More than 20 animal species domestic and wild are available. They also have a special food programme that you can order a day before you go. Carry some biscuits the monkeys love them. Never seen an Eagle face to face but here a saw to a lady and a gentleman. Also saw a secretary bird see photos below.

The dar es salaam zoo is nice place for recreational activities, studying and widening your experience base.There are lots of animals domestic animals and wild animals.they also have birds of manh kinds found on Africa. The zoo also has playing grounds and a swimming pool for the kids where by after your tour you can go and relax. The services are splendid ,they have good hospitality for all races.

DAR ES SALAAM ZOO keeping Wild and Domestic animls for you to see all of them togetger in one place for a smoothly and cheap price than you can imagine. We have Experienceful tour guiders, ample car parking. You can also get Soft drinks and food within our Zoo. Play ground and swimming pools for kids, Ridding post (Camels, Horses and Donkey cart). Come watch, learn and enjoy with DAR ES SALAAM ZOO.

Nice place, not much animals and you can see old tradition utensils, clock and many machines. Environment was good and even you will get a volunteer guide. You can give some tips to guide. I give 3 star because the zoo is not maintained well and animals don't have comfort.

It was very difficult to find the zoo for us .. Even though we went by taxi, the taxi driver could not even find the way ... Roads should be put plates ... The animals smelled. It would be cleaner if they washed once a week .. And the guide was accompanied when I didn't want a guide. We thought it was free. He wanted 10 thousand shillings. İts not a normal tip

Is to far away from where i was staying and they need a road there it will help people arrive safely and it will help people who leave their the Zoo him self nice place I love it my opinion if first time for u better ask for a tour guide he will explain for u every thing in One and half hours I have many idea for future to improve the Zoo contact me please

The place is very fine and very quite. Also they have very freindly team. They have many animals such as wild animals or others. Also the zoo it's inside a forest and surrounded by trees everywhere. U can ride camels or horses. The only challenge is the way to reach the zoo location is to hard of u have a small car. Unpaved road.

Lots of monkeys and birds to watch. Our guide was also very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. He knew the animal names in both Swahili and English. Transport to the place was a challenge from Daresalam town.

COMBINATION OF MANY ACTIVITIES AND THINGS TO DO IN ONE PLACE, THEY HAVE A LOT OF ANIMALS LIKE YOU ARE IN NGORONGORO OR SERENGETI PARK, RESTAURANTS WITH SPICE FOODS, POOL, RIVER, GARDENS AND FORESTRY AWESOME VIEW MAKES THIS PARK TO BE REALY AMAIZING, IT'S BETTER TO GO BY PRIVATE CAR, ENTRANCE FEE IS TZS 6,000 PP.

Sehemu hii ni sehemu nzuri kwa mapumziko na kutuliza akili baada ya mihangaiko mingi ya maisha.pia hapa hufanyika tamasha la Eid kila Eid pili ambapo watu tofauti hujinyakulia zawadi tofauti.kazi hii hufanywa na vijana Istiqama wakiwa waratibu na waandaji wa tamasha hilo la Eid.karibuni sana.

It is a nice place to visit this zoo but I request the management of the dar es Salaam zoo to keep the board at the outside of the main road entering inside the rough road. Please ask the authorities to make a tarmet road inside. It is very far from the kigamboni bridge to dar es Salaam zoo.

A lot of different species of animals, beginning from curly doves and ending by giant tortoises and lions family. You can see also a small baobab. I liked a big family of baboons, lion and lioness, leopard, camel, big and small tortoises, and especially ostriches, which you can feed.

the place need maintenance eg pavements, and restocking of some animals eg kudu, sable, bucks, warthogs etc, and birds like peacocks could make it more attractive

A county like Tanzania that has beautiful and vast planes of land for wild life , should not even entertain the idea of a zoo!!! Capturing and holding hostage animals for profit is inhumane , greed and immoral! These beautiful creature need to run chase free!!! Disgusting!

Les animaux ne sont pas si nombreux l'endroit à pris un coup de vieux. Mais si tu as des enfants en bas âges c'est l'endroit idéal pour qu'ils courent partout.

Nicely arranged zoo with a good presence of animals in good health. The zoo is well maintained and all staff are very courteous and polite. Even under current circumstances the owners have maintained the zoo well and very clean. Nice place for a one day family outing.

Spent a day and night at this unique zoo. It has varieties of animals and nice spots to relax with family and friends. Get to experience and learn about nature and both wild and domestic animals. The Dar es Salaam zoo society is very friendly and helpful.

As mentioned by many visitors Animals are in poor condition and they have to work lot on maintenance too.different price for locals and foreigner.

Wow! Such exquisite animals! Feels great to be able to meet the animals face to face apthough no interaction is needed for the safety for you and your children. Swimmin pool also available, which is fun for my brothers and sisters everytime we visit!

This place has now new additions and attractions for the people. Yet to reach there is a little problem due to condition of the road. Yet new addition of allowed to play with lion cub and tortoise and snake. Also rides for children. Game zone etc...

I love this place they have a lot of animal with very good looking nature and I enjoyed a lot to play some games and riding horse also I won't forget the day I touched a lion cub. Men you should visit this beautiful and creative place with …

It is a nice place for enjoying with the family also it has a lot of animals so from there you can learn a lot Also it has a good swimming pool Animals found there are (note i was there 2010) Hyena, lion,zebra,camel,donkey and monkey

I enjoyed to visit these place , recomending much during weekend and holidays with family or friends for chilling and having fun , with all age groups can be able to visit and enought parking area, animals , Birds and much more..

Place is good but the road is not in good condition which is connecting to Zoo and no road sign and even google map is also confusing many a times...I feel there were less number of animals this time compared to few years back

The tour guider was so informative. Luckily enough, it wasn't a crowded day so we had a lot of time to see each and every animal in the zoo. Guys, nature is amazingThe trees around are cure and really treat diseases. …

Not sure why some rated it high. Actually poorly maintained. The nature feel is raw but that's not what's expected from a place which is famous for its flora & fauna. The guide was quite good. Overall just an okay experience.

Nice place to visit, but don't keep your expectations high as very few animals are around. Cages stink. Every visit you will see some animals are missing from your earlier visit. All in all, you can visit once.

Up to May 2018 when I visited the place, I found the entrance fee to be Six thousands for the adult individual and three thousands for young and students. These values being measured in Tanzania shilling.

It has a good range of animals. Would be nice if all the facilities are working like the mini theme park. Considering we were couples with their kids. Most things were said to be not working at the moment

Its a place where you can enjoy with family and friends, various species of wild animals available for display, animal rides, water and theme parks for entertainment all for affordable price.

Good day out especially the encounter with the lion cubs. Park is not stroller or wheelchair friendly though with most paths of loose sand. The animal enclosures could also be much improved.

This is indeed the best place to visit and see animals if one is unable to visit a park. Its well organised, very great customer care and such a place to spend your weekend with your family.

Bad experience.. poorly maintained.. animals are in terrible condition.. has a swimming pool area but no water most of the time.. food is dry n cheap.. needs proper care by the management..

Fantastic. We really enjoyed seeing almost all animals at a very cheap price. And the guides were very helpful. Guides are trained on scientific background of animals and their habitats.

Cool place to hangout with kids and family, there’s lots of wild animals

The location is good, but customer care I have found very poor, and no tour guide. I enjoyed to see animals together with my family but customer care was poor and we didn't learnt much.

The road to the zoo is not good and its long. Not many animals tho the people there are very nice. Guide knows the animals plus he's very friendly. We had a good time

It is a great place for a weekend outing. A must, if you visit tanzania. The animals are very well kept and totally away from pollution. There are even camel rides!

Not bad experience. Get to do camel and horse riding. Shame about how they keep some of the lions but I could assume otherwise the lion Would not be alive.

A-bit far and i didn’t know cars were allowed inside the zoo so we were so tired walking. Good tour guides and the leopards were the highlight of the trip.

Perfect gateway from dar, spend a few hours here learning about the domestic animals and wild ones, And ofcourse the king of the jungle, locked up In cage.

Too dry. Not well maintained. The animals were dying of thirst. I think the authorities should pay a visit and see to the wellbeing of the animals. …

Nice place to visit in Dar but the need to maintain the place and environment cleanliness. Otherwise you can enjoy seeing animals at very close range

Disappointing. Animals seemed tired and unkept.the places needs cleaning and maintenance. Hardly alot to see. Most of the display cages were empty..

Nice place for kids to learn good number of birds but animals have decreased compared to previous years. Maintenance needed to keep standards up.

It’s a bit run down but still a great place to spend some hours visiting the animals. They have a lot to see, and there’s a playground for kids.

Eine gepflegte Anlage, leider kommen zu wenige internationale Gäste. Mehr von gut zahlenden Gästen würde die Versorgung der Tiere sichern.

It was one of the beautiful day of my life, simply impressive wild animals and domestic animals zoo. Best place to visit at Dar Es Salaam.

Als Europäer ist der Eintritt mehr als 4x so teuer. Diskriminierung aller Non-residents! Wir sind wieder gefahren und kommen nicht wieder.
