Kivukoni Fish Market

The Kivukoni Fish Market began as an informal landing site for fishermen in Dar es Salaam, a port city established by Germans in the late 19th century, and gained its "Kivukoni" name from its role as a crossing point and trade hub. The market expanded and was formalized by authorities as Dar es Salaam grew, with the modern Dar es Salaam International Fish Market at Kivukoni constructed between 2000 and 2002 with JICA support. Today, it remains a vibrant, chaotic, but essential center for local fish trade, culture, and a key part of Dar es Salaam's maritime heritage.

Azania Front Cathedral Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania

Azania Front Lutheran Cathedral is a Christian church under the Eastern and Coastal Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania. Constructed in gothic style by German missionaries between 1899 and 1902, Azania Front Lutheran Cathedral stands magnificently along the Kivukoni Front road, close to water front of the Indian Ocean and facing the harbour to add to the splendid view of the city centre of Dar es Salaam. The Cathedral, with a red-tiled roof, tiled canopies over the windows and bright white walls, is among the most popular landmarks and tourist attractions of the city. According to the available literature, the name Azania originates from a Greek word meaning the Coast of East Africa, and therefore ‘Azania Front’ means the front of the East African coast.
