Places to visit in Dar es Salaam

Hi,

For the ones living in Dar es Salaam, what would you suggest to discover the region?

When you have friends or family visiting you, where do you go with them? What are the must-see places in Dar es Salaam, the tourist sites?

How to visit the region in an original way? Any unusual or unknown place to recommend?

What would you suggest for a couple of days or for a week of holidays in Dar es Salaam?

Thank you in advance for participating ;)
