5. Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Dar es Salaam has over six million inhabitants and is the largest city in East Africa. It is an important economic and trade center for the region. New settlements are growing mainly along the business districts. From 2000 to 2018, the population grew by 166%.

Tanzania is famous for Kilimanjaro (the largest mountain in Africa - obvious) and the national park Serengeti.

More than 80% of the country’s wealth is concentrated in the city by means of wholesale and retail trade, business activities, financial services and manufacturing activities. The Dar es Salaam property market is booming. The boom is partly driven by growth in agriculture and manufacturing, especially the discovery of oil and gas.
