My family and I spent a wonderful, restful night in Dar at the Fig Tree Residences while in transit from safari back to the States. It's in a lovely, seemingly safe neighborhood, where all the embassies are located. There are a few dining, shopping, and banking options within walking distance.
All the staff and management were wonderful! They helped us get situated and offered great advice. We had a two-bedroom apartment, complete with kitchen, which they often rent out for longer stays. The apartment was very clean and the grounds were beautiful, complete with a very pleasant swimming pool.
They brought us home-baked snacks for tea time and offered to deliver breakfast to our door. And the lunch they served us on the rooftop was delicious!
I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, whether in transit or for a longer stop in Dar.
