Dodoma is the capital of Tanzania. Dar es Salaam is the economic center of the city, so I think many people are confused. Doma is located about 500km from Dar es Salaam and is the headquarters of the Tanzanian Revolutionary Party. Tanzania also has Zanzibar, one of the best resorts in Africa, so we recommend visiting Dodoma as well.
place
Dodoma is a city located in central Tanzania.
history
Dodoma is a very young city. Dodoma was a government office built by the German army in 1912. At that time, it was a government office, but with the opening of the railroad and connection with Dar es Salaam, it began to develop economically. Since the 1970s, there have been plans to relocate the capital, and in 1996 the legislature was moved to Dodoma.
climate
Dodoma has a steppe climate and is very warm throughout the year. Temperatures range from 13°C to 36°C throughout the year.
language
Swahili and English are official languages in Tanzania. Swahili is also designated as a national language.
security
Dodoma is relatively safe in Tanzania. Dar es Salaam is said to be one of the most unsafe cities in Africa.
industry
There was a plan to relocate the capital to Dodoma, but administrative functions and other functions still remain in Dar es Salaam, and have only been partially relocated. Therefore, the economy is weak compared to Dar es Salaam. Dodoma is thriving in agriculture and industry.
