Introduction
Photo not found
Dodoma is the capital of Tanzania and has taken over this offical role of the former capital, Dar es Salaam. Although plan to move the capital date back from 1973, Tanzania's National Assembly moved to Dodoma only in 1996, but still many government offices remain in Dar es Salaam. It is located in the centre of the country, almost 500 kilometers away from the coast and the Kilimanjaro and with continuing growth nowadays has about 400,000 inhabitants. Few travellers really visit this place and actually it is far less attractivie and bustling than let's say Dar es Salaam and Arusha.
