Kariakoo market. Kariakoo is derived from British word Carrier Corps.. Its a big market where you can get everything and anything for a cheap and affordable prices. Its a market where its very crowded. Theres a good security but youve to be careful with your own stuffs, alot of pick pockets. I love this place, I have been shopping here for years.

One of the oldest markets in Tanzania, and just like any local market, its bustling, colorful. We got a rare opportunity to work with the city council to photograph the area, and got VIP access to the roof, where access is restricted. it was such an honor. It gets pretty hectic during the day, parking is a no no, so best walk there.

A busty market place full of merchandise. this is one market that is visited by buyers from all over Africa. All in search of reasonably priced merchandise. The place is highly populated with people selling and buying.The green market forms the core of his business hub who plenty and huge range of greens and vegetables.The streets are lined with stalls stocking literally EVERYTHNG. Ranging from hardware, clothing, cosmetics, auto parts, textile and ceramics. The items are cheaply priced making Kariakoo the market where people order stuff for resale.The market has a countless number of beuraeu De change outlets. You are better of changing your moneys during the day as the rate has a sharp drop so the sunset! when you are here make sure your valuables are well secured and DONT TRUST anyone on face value.The place has a wide range of hotels and night spots. Tropical Hotel is well known for protecting its clients from the hookers.Kariakoo is also largely patronized by people from Zambia and Malawi coming to collect second hand motor vehicles.After dawn most streets are opened to street restaurants serving different foods, mainly local cuisines.Interesting place visit.

It is the biggest, most busiest and crowded market in Dar Es Salaam. It is also considered as a historic site since it has been there for ages. It offers everything you need and i mean anything.

Most of thing here are sold at reasonable price. It is always crowded. It is the largest market in Tanzania with variety of good staffs. But one must be careful as there are below standard products that are also sold here. Its wise to take care of your belongings everytime you are at this place beacause there are thieves and pick pocketers. But its okay to shop here

This is the biggest market in the country thus everything is found there and well the crowd too! Handle your properties well, dont argue with strangers and survey first before shopping. Prices are wholesale but retail services are also available.

Good place to go for quick shopping with many options tho too many people.

Kariakoo is one of the oldest market places in the country, the word Kariakoo comes from the mispronounced words CARRY AND GO. Its a market place that has everything you may need for home use and more. From food, furniture, electronics, agro products, textile, motorcycles and spare parts to financial services. I remember coming here since when I was the youngest I could remember. Traders from the rest of the cities come here to buy their whole sale products. Kariakoo can also be a disturbing place if you do not like crowds, walking around can be a very disappointing activity and parking is always a headache here unless its a Sunday, maybe.

The market is located in the heart of Daresalaam and you will find cheap quality goods here ranging from Fashion, Hardware, Auto parts and IT Products. You will need to have an Interpreter with you if you dont speak Swahili because 98% of people use Swahili. Most sellers may usually inflate prices if they notice you dont speak Swahili. Generally people here are friendly and very few records of theft.

An Area full of Activities And Lots of goods found Around Food stuffs

A typical African somewhat modern market, you can find almost anything you want, people are friendly and helpful.

Very crowded but with a variety of things

Very good and huge market you’ll find anything you need👍🏽

Perfect market ever.....with all kind of items you may need....bei yoyote pale inapatikana kabisa.....i loved it

This is a good market for the product for domestic use like tomatoes, onions and other things like that.

Its cool place to buy and sell at reasonable price than anywhere in East and central Africa i can say

Watch out for pickpockets and people ripping your handbag or phone. Otherwise you can find much nice and cheap stuff there.

Large and convenient market with a wide range of products. Retail and wholesale

The market is well arranged in such a that separates business according to the type of commodities. For example there is a place for hardwares, mobile phones and their accessories, cosmetics, clothes, agricultural products and so many more. Also congestion of people is well managed due to expansion and growth of business

A great place to have several experiences at once. Google shows a single building but the place is several blocks of shops and street vendors. It is almost impossible to drive around, you will have to walk when you visit. You may want to do a little bit of training before you go. Dar is hot and the market pace is fast without many places to simply stop for a breather. You will find great deals on local items and if you want souvenirs or local food at a great price this is definitely the place to go.

Very big market on the streets, maybe 1 by 1 km area, but picture can not show how it really looks, you can find what you need or no

Very busy market, variety of products available at reasonable price.

It somewhere in which you can tend to your needs to a satisfaction.

The Most popular Market in Dar es Salaam, the most popular city in Tanzania! Kariakoo has all kind of product you are looking for! The prices of commodities are fair.commodities are available for both wholesale and retail. From young to the old, all will be found in its streets strolling around.Its fun to take a walk around it. the sun will hit you hard though. Just get a bottle of water. Its the market which has the pure native culture. If you are interested to know how do the locals do their shopping, do go to the shopping malls, they go there to take photos only! Ha ha ha ha! just kidding!Yet this market serves not only Tanzania, it links DRC, Burundi, Rwanda and Zambia!

Large market for almost anything, electronics, housewares, furniture, clothes, groceries, etc.Noth new and second hand. Bargaining skills or prior knowledge of the actual price are necessary except maybe for groceries. Compare prices between vendors.Very crowded on most days except mornings, noisy. Pick pocketing is common but normal precautions would suffice.

The awesome market in Dar where you will find anything you want as long as you really need of it , fully of people around .Enjoy shopping

The place has high conjunction during the day the faster way to explore the place is by foot.Various stores are easily located like grain stores, retail shops and antiques.The place is one of the locals trading center in the region so all sorts of stuffs of the natives of Dar es salaam are easily found.

Kariakoo,is a maze of crowded, busy streets, dark muddy alleys, and local shops overflowing with all sorts of goods. I went in search of local veggies, and was,not disappointed. The choice is large, and the quality is good. You have to be prepared to haggle the prices with the vendors, and try your luck from one stall to another. I found treasures, like home made coconut oil, one kilo a,piece avocados, perfect tomatoes, spices..... name it, its there.Dress in your roughest jeans, plastic shoes to fend the mud, and go enjoy the sights and sounds of life,in Africa

Super crowded but amazing deals. If you plan on going, truly take enough time to explore the various options. I love this place because it has so much to offer especially from the local culture. Some items are literally made in front of you. I plan on going back again! Small businesses (stores) looking to diversify the things they sell, this is a great place to shop. Most places remember their clients. They offer prices for retail and wholesale so dont forget your negotiation skills. I wish many stores here were shipped.

Great local market with all kind of shops.Wholesale and retail shops available.Good to visit with public transport.Dont carry so much with you just you small hand bag to accommodate your phone and money.All operations done in local currency.Bureau de change available but its good to exchange your money in advance to avoid disturbance.Due to lots of movement be carefully with things like mobile phones.

Kariakoo. Its the heart of Dar es Salaam. Any items required its found here. Although you should negotiate as some prices are not right. But if you get the right road..like agrey mchikichi sikuku..then you would get what you want from car aceesesories to household items to food.. you cannot miss getting anything at kariakoo and its markets

Interesting to see but as a tourist you do not feel 100% welcome

Every type of veges you will get right here

Theres not much going on inside the actual market building, but all the action lies in the surrounding streets. I had a lot of fun winding and weaving my way through the busy streets. Just mind your pockets but I didnt have any problems

Its a place where people can get all the staffs he/she may want. Its a main center for small,medium and large business in Tanzania. Its a very populated place in dar es salaam more than other place. Its safe to vist there with a local guider.

I always find it easy to shop chicken stuff around kariako

Really funny and crazy market,like in all place you have to have careful with your wallet but for the rest is safe. No body attack you to stole you, well they try to trick you with the prices of the things because is really cheap all except for tourists people dont let them to do that if they refuse to sell something dont care Im sure you that you will find the same for cheap!! Good luck in Kariakoo Market. That is a experience you have to live if you come to Dar es Salaam.

Its a wonderful place to get fresh produce from up country. I purchased large avocados you can find anywhere in Dar. And made bulk purchase for my groceries to last me for the next 7 days at competitive price. To my astonishment, the place is clean and not like it used to be a few months ago. I would definetly recommend the place if you are looking for value for money as far as groceries are concerned. My only snag is parking hassle otherwise if you are prepared to park three streets away and do some walking it will still serve you well otherwise you can use public means off peak times like 9 am to 11am you will be just fine.

Despite of the congestion this place has just everything to buy. It is the busiest place in Dar es Salaam as most of the businesses are conducted here. You can use your private car to get to this place though there are few packing ares or else you can use Mwendokasi or public transport...

Kariakoo market located in kariakoo area the busiest business area of our city Dar es Salaam, its one the biggest market in East africa. Nice place to visit if you want to buy foods at reasonable prices

Busy, bustling, complete with pretty much anything you can think of.

A very busy place. Got to be vigilant with pickpockets but otherwise very safe. Its a place you can get anything, from groceries to fresh produce to insecticide, kitchen and househld items. Baking necessities. In bulk and retail. You just have to be patient enough to walk around and get the best bargain

The market contain variety of goods and services at on going price and sometime low price

If one wants to understand shopping culture by locals(swahili people) in Tanzania, then Kariakoo market is a must visit place. Dont get confused, the indoor of the market building isnt really an actual market by the locals standards, rather its what is on the outside around the building. You can get all possible ingredients for any food, utensils, insecticides to stationary items and most of home necessities in one spot while enjoying showcasing events as you pass by.However, be aware of the mighty crowd! People here treat cars similar to a person so they wont let you pass easily with your car along the road. Better arrive earily and find a parking spot, nearby or park a bit far and just come by foot and enjoy the shopping in the busiest part of Dar es Salaam.

Cheep goods,services and collection of so many kinds almost everything.It is considered as international market with cheep quality goods due to near the herbor location. Making good shopping place to east and west Africa states

Its an amazing place for shopping since there is availability of many and wide different commodities for cheap (local Price), the center of fresh fruits, vegetables and other crops.The main thing you should be carefully of is thieves since the place is so busy and crowded by business people and customers.

Kariakoo market is one of the largest market in east Africa which was previously dominated by Arabs for slavery and core place for temporary settlements during transit of slaves gold spices and other goods.Now its government controlled market which accommodates over a thousand of sellers and buyers per dayIts well characterized by electronic electric automobiles food ornaments ointments and other products and items.It contributes over 15% of the total regional revenue (NBS)Also it facilitates tourism to different customers across the world.

Very busy market where you can find all kinds of items. You will find fresh farm produce, farm inputs and equipment, clothes, shoes, etc. This is a must go place if you want to buy organic Tanzanian cooking ingredients...spices, etc.

Hey! Everything for sale at rock botton prices especially clothes. The congestion, the heat....it adds to all the fun. What a market! There must be one million people in that market. Thats the real entrepreneurial Africa. A must visit!

You may find all good stuffs here

A good market with lots of stuff to buy. Lots of inexpensive household articles, products, food stuff, local fruits & fresh produce. A lovely way to spend some time browsing thru...

These are top views only

Since its a very popular market in the city so it a crowd in there but you get everything you completely everything and even at better prices

Busy and afgordable goods although you have to be extra careful of pick pokets

It has variety of goods and well categorized blocs of business under the same roof. But it has issues with cleanness matters and somehow difficulties in car parking locations outside.

Kariako market located in dares salaam Tanzania. The place is very busy with a lot of people are vehicle moving up and down the street. Hawking is done here and cheap outside meals can be found on the streets. Food staffs, kitchen wares, shoes, clothes and all kinds of products can be found here. Banks are not far aware from this place.

This Market has been very important since its a center where various products are sold out from different countries and it has been accommodating people from the East African community and out of the community hence has build strong relations among people of Tanzania and out of Tanzania,it also enables the Tanzanian government to earn revenues through tax collection resulting to the strong Tanzanian economy.

A place with alot of people and various products. But human traffic is high so not the best place to come with children , elderly or sick people as people are always so many almost on a daily basis . But offers an amazing shopping experience.

They improved a little. Some parking space. Alot of stalls (vibanda)Its very famous market. Though its losing popularity because its not being depended by other markets. And also the government has built and is still building more markets

Local market, local crowd. Spare at least an hour or two to move around. You can get any thing here. I bet you shall buy lot of things here if you have a promising bargaining skill. Do visit once.

Everything for everyone..if you enjoy local street shopping ..this place for you... Almost get everything here.. If you dont bother with over crowded place..

A very busy place but the best in local shopping in Dar-es-Salaam with a vast array of choice and lowest prices across the board in the city. If youre new to Dar-es-Salaam its best to get a local to show you around. Otherwise it can be overwhelming trying to figure out the market areas and shops by yourself. It is also good for tourism if you want to get a sense of the downtown feel of Dar-es-Salaam.

Very crowded and busy. Its so hard to find things that whatever discounted price they are at probably isnt worth it. Maybe a cool place to visit once but not great for regular shopping.

Once in a lifetime experience. Extremely crowded market even on a rainy day. Take extreme care of your belonging and always have backpacks on the front of your body and hug it tightly.

Most crowded market in Dar. Many items found here.. Just near the market is the whole sellers of clothing and other items drawing a number of nationals from different places around the East and Western block of Africa.

Enjoyed the cheap buys here. If you are in Dar for short business stay, this is the place to shop from. Just take a two way taxi from your hotel and enjoy the street food and the crowed.

Busy place. Maximum traffic (highly populated) a place you can shop till you drop for affordable cost. Almost for all your needs . One of the biggest markets in East Africa

It is a market where one can find all. Please you must visit. From food to clothes. And stay opens untul 10pm.You can always get a good discount if you bargain a little ... you find local clothing, international clothing, good variety of spices, raw and ready made food with major presence of seafood. Advisable to take a local guide to help you.Biggest Local market in Town.#localmarket#market#soko

This place was like a oh my God how the heck I got into here experience. Very crowded, very smelly and way too loud. Also you may find the local merchants looking - staring at you a little bit intimidating. The streets at the back of the market might not be safe because people literally scan yourself through like theyre gonna attack, though I had no problems (might be me looking muscular and intimidating as well). Just be safe and know where you enter and exit.

This is a one stop Market where you can get all you want from food products, house hold items, car spare parts to building and construction goods, from the sources KARIAKOO was derived from the English phrase CARRY AND GO, but this is a very congested place in Dar es Salaam City CBD, this is a place you have to take care of your stuff and your pocket because you will end up loosing your stuff...Keep your Phones and Wallet safeThis place should be urbanized

This is Dar es Salaam. Nothing fancy, just how things are, how people live and what they need to make a living in this beautiful country.Friendly, easy going atmosphere and surprisingly tidy (cause im used to heaps of dirt and rubbish on a market)One advice: ask people first if they want you to photograph them.And wear a Juventus shirt; it makes it easy to make friends there.

You buy anything from this market. Local food, Fruits, vegetables in reasonable price. BEWARE FROM PICKPOCKET! Always carry passport as photocopy not a original.dont remove mobile or if already taken then keep it in car!

Its good, you can find literally anything you want to buy there. But its difficult to get parking for vehicles. Its a bit congested

Very busy open market with everything available for sale. Good place for bargaining but be mindful of security of personal items. Be sure to try out the local cuisine!

The place is easily accessible and it contains all kind of goods and services you might need, such as fresh food, housewares, pestsides, machineries and do fourth

For All spices needs. Go to Haleem Spice, I promise you will not regret

Wear shops have no changing rooms. And its so annoying!

The place is great..if you look close enough you can buy lots of stuffs at very cheap prices. Though i highly reccomend people to be cautious as there are theives, especially during the holiday season

One of the biggest market place in Dar es Salaam Where a wide range of commodities are sold from fresh groceries to garments and varieties of hard ware.

Everything is there. You just have to know the right shop and the right street. This place is way full of all kinda stuffs from jewelry to utensils, food crops spare parts, you just name it.

Large market with variety of items including food products and spices, fruits and veggies other cooking wear and many more.The downside.. Its crowded and risk of pick pocketers and it gets really messy during rainy days

A great place to look at everything that you would like to get as a gift back home or for a friends birthday! The market never ceases to amaze me! Quite a lot of shops and a large amount of people around, it would be wise to be carefull with your valuables since it is not very safe and lots of pickpocketers around! But really you have not been to dar es salaam if you dont visit the kariakoo market!!

Big market located at Dar es salaam, they sale many things including food staffs fresh and non fresh items,clothes for all adult and children, hardwares, fabics,accessories and many other thingsThere are more than 7 ATMs around for different banks, mobile money agentsBut the thieves are also there soo people should hold carefully the valuables they carry when they are around market areag

Big Market (centre of business) in Tanzania and East Africa where most of the imported products and goods from Asian and Europe via Dar es Salaam Port are being sold here in a good price

Busy part of town. Whatever is in your mind to purchase you will find it here. A basic principle in busy places like this : keep an eye on your belonging.

Definitely for the adventurous, mostly for locals, not really for tourist. But cheaper prices even when elevated for English speaking shoppers. Difficult to get an Uber from this location

Nice, big street market

Modern day flea Market ! There are lots of Diversities freshly farmed Food , spices , boutiques , Banks and people from all over the world (china,india,usa,japan,uae) come here to conduct business . It is a Great place for business in short . My experience in Kariakoo was amazing because above everything else this is the place you Get all the things youve ever wanted at a very affordable price $PS : dont trust anyone , theres alot of pick pockets in this area so i suggest you leave your expensive phone at home and dont put all your money in one place !

Well located Home of variety good storks from rural Tanzania, Hand Med product agricultural farm implements and in puts to suit almost many farmers at different levels, in fact make it a never miss for any body arriving in Dar Es Salaam

Theres a special place in my heart for Kariakoo market. I stayed in a Somali-owned hotel smack in the middle. But its not for the faint-hearted and not a pretty market. Very dirty, smelly and crowded...but if you are an adventurous type... I didnt buy any food here (not very sanitary for tourists even though I often eat in markets all over the world), but I bought some nice cotton African gaunis (dresses with kangas) that I wore while I was living in Arusha. The African men would call me Mama Africa and the women wanted to feel the fabric. The best part of the market (and my hotel there) was the diversity. People from all the surrounding countries come here on long bus trips of 24 hours or more to buy huge amounts of stuff (plastics, fabrics, etc.) to take back home and sell. My hotel was full of women shoppers from a half dozen other countries. Come and see for yourself, but do be cautious and stay alert. Its a high theft area though I never felt physically threatened and due to my extended stay at the hotel-- I did walk around at night (but its not recommended). I advise not taking pictures-- this is a market for the low-income. Dont treat poverty as a tourist site or something to impress your friends with.

Kariakoo Market is one of the largest market in Dar es salaam , the site is packed to the brim with fresh food like vegetables ,fruits and so on, clothing, fabrics, kitchenware, plastics, trinkets, and inexpensive electronics.

You will find almost everything around from spare parts to food and clothing and the price is affordable but be careful 30% of people thiefs and conmen also its a heavy traffic area no parking,also you should be careful with tuktuk tax n motorbike they are all over

While you are in Kariakoo market, make sure you find place for parking before reaching there, because there is a lot of car and population than car parking area. Its always very populated area whereby you can get everything you want

Too crowded through out the day. But everything in one market.

Great experience. Definitely lots of hustle and bustle. Walk swiftly. Take someone with you if you don’t speak Swahili. Overall great selection, good prices.

You have to look a lot to get what you want.. Its very easy to get lost in there.. People there lied to me on directions on how to get to different stores there.. It was chaos.. Other than that, theres a wide range of things to see and buy

A best and biggest market in Tanzania.. All kind of products you need. Clothes, shoes, utensils, electronics ,cars, banks, restaurants, etc anything you need.

Kko market center of all businesses. Household, outdoor, home improvement, electronics, garden, bath and plumbing, you name it and they have it. Only problem is too many Mchina -(fake Chinese goods). Be careful not to be over charged and the items dont last and break on you unexpectedly. I shop there for fresh food like vegetables,fruit, wheat and grain products including seeds, coconuts, pumpkins, lentils e.t.c

This is the BIGGEST local market in Dar es salaam and i think its safe to say its among the largest we have in Tanzania. This should be a district of its own (thats how big it is) because it has everything, seriously EVERYTHING!! You cant come to Dar es salaam and not go to Kariakoo even to just walk around the streets and get lost in the crowd only to be saved by a loud honk from a car trying to pass thru in between the crowded roads.6

Its the best place to get fresh fruits and vegetables at very affordable prices and also u can get many different products such as cake baking productsAlso different spices are available which are gorgeous at very affordable prices.Tc the best places where almost everything is available at an affordable price and the products are very good.I highly recommend this place.
