AZANIA BANK Azania Bank Plc and Tanzania Buildings Agency (TBA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) aimed at expanding access to home ownership by enabling Tanzanians to finance the purchase of TBA-developed residential properties through Azania Bank’s Mortgage Financing product.

The agreement was signed by Mr. Yahaya Mbanka – Azania Bank’s Director of Business Development and Arch. Daud W. Kondoro- the Chief Executive Officer of Tanzania Buildings Agency during a press conference attended by senior officials from both institutions and members of the media. Through this strategic partnership, prospective homeowners will have access to affordable mortgage financing from Azania Bank, with flexible terms and repayment periods of up to 25 years, making home ownership more accessible to a wider segment of Tanzanians.

AIR TANZANIA Air Tanzania has launched its first non-stop service between Dar es Salaam and Muscat, marking the first direct air link between Tanzania and Oman. The route, which operates three times weekly using Airbus A220-300 aircraft, was announced at the Tanzanian-Omani Tourism Promotional Forum in Muscat and was formally welcomed at Muscat International Airport during an official ceremony attended by senior government and aviation officials from both countries. The new service is expected to boost tourism, trade and business travel between East Africa and the Gulf region, building on the two nations’ longstanding historical and cultural ties.

Sopa Lodge Celebrating 40 Years of Safari Magic and Heritage

For four decades, Sopa Lodges has stood as a beacon of authentic African hospitality, creating unforgettable safari experiences while preserving the rich cultures, landscapes and wildlife of Kenya and Tanzania. What began as an ambitious vision has grown into one of East Africa’s most respected hospitality brands; a legacy built on passion, resilience, community and commitment to excellence.

24 24 August 2026 | Dar Life

E

very great journey starts with a dream. The Sopa story traces its roots to the early 1980s, when the vision of creating authentic safari lodges in East Africa began to take shape.

That dream became reality on 8th August 1986, when Masai Mara Sopa Lodge officially opened its doors with just 36 guest rooms, welcoming visitors to experience the breathtaking beauty of the Maasai Mara.

This milestone marked the beginning of a hospitality journey that would eventually grow into a distinguished collection of safari lodges across Kenya and Tanzania. Over the years, the family expanded to include Amboseli Sopa Lodge, Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort, Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge, Samburu Sopa Lodge, Tarangire Sopa Lodge, Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge

and Serengeti Sopa Lodge.

While Serengeti Sopa Lodge and Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge were rebranded to Explorer by Elewana Collection, they remain an important chapter in the remarkable Sopa story. United by the inspiring philosophy of “One Sopa, One Standard, One People,” every property has carried forward the same commitment to authentic hospitality, cultural appreciation, environmental conservation and exceptional guest experiences.

Over the past forty years, Sopa Lodges has become much more than a collection of safari destinations.

Thousands of travellers from around the world have experienced unforgettable moments within the Sopa family; watching wildlife from their private balconies, discovering vibrant local cultures, celebrating

life’s milestones and creating memories that last a lifetime. The brand has remained committed to environmental stewardship, sustainability and responsible tourism through conservation initiatives, cultural preservation and meaningful community partnerships.

Today, Sopa Lodges proudly celebrates a remarkable journey from modest beginnings to becoming one of East Africa’s most trusted safari hospitality brands. This is a story of people, dreams transformed into reality, cultures celebrated, wildlife protected and of hospitality delivered with warmth and authenticity.

Happy 40th Anniversary, Sopa Family! Here is to celebrating an extraordinary legacy of safari magic.

Out in the Maasai Mara, the drama is timeless. This is the stage for the Great Wildebeest Migration, recognised in the World Book of Records (UK) as the world’s greatest annual terrestrial wildlife migration, where hundreds of thousands of wildebeest, zebra and other grazers move in a thundering rhythm that has captivated travelers for generations. Guests can expect exhilarating game drives in search of big cats, elephant herds and sweeping savannah scenes that feel straight from a nature documentary.

Tanzania Top Activities & Sports Sporting holiday of a lifetime

“Tanzania is a beautiful country. Its landscape and people make it a unique location to undertake any sport. Whether it is early morning training runs past giraffes and zebra to the shores of Lake Manyara or on the slopes on Mount Kilimanjaro, a football match against a local village team, horse riding expeditions in West Kilimanjaro or treks in the Ngorongoro Highlands or from the sun-kissed islands of the Zanzibar Archipelago to the gentle shores of Lake Victoria, the country contains immense cultural and natural wealth.As you can imagine, being on the tropical Indian ocean, and having Africa’s largest lakes, Tanzania has also a plenty of water sports, ranging from some of the world’s best diving (both in the ocean and freshwater lakes), yacht, dhow and boat trips, fishing, and adrenaline sports.

Tanzania has some incredible sporting journeys to offer those who seek them out.”

DIVING Scuba diving the coral reefs off Tanzania’s coast at Zanzibar and Mafia Island offer some of the world’s finest scuba diving. Diving is possible all year round, although the Kusi Monsoon (strongest June-Sept) is accompanied by choppy seas and strong currents that make the more exposed reefs inaccessible.

There can also be strong winds in December and January. Visibility is best from November to march, before the long rains set in.

DEEP SEA FISHING The water around Zanzibar and Pemba islands is considered by

experts to offer some of the best fishing in the world, especially the Pemba Channel, between Zanzibar and Pemba islands, or around Mafia Island, south of Zanzibar. Big game fish include barracuda, kingfish, sailfish, billfish, wahoo, Dorado and blue marlin.

INLAND FISHING Rivers are stocked with trout around Mt Kilimanjaro and Mt Meru. Large rivers such as the Kilombero and Great Ruaha offer fabulous sport fishing for Tiger fish. On the great lakes, especially Lake Victoria, one can fish for large Nile Perch.

PARAGLIDING & MICROLIGHT FLIGHTS There are some fabulous areas to paraglide. Very few people paraglide in Tanzania, therefore it is a novelty. Always seek permission from the local village, explain what you are doing and where you think you will land (it is illegal to fly over national parks).

Just some of the areas to fly are the Usambara, the Rift valley and numerous hills around Mt. Meru.

Microlight flights are now also available over Lake Manyara and the Great Rift Valley.

encounters from their private balcony or terrace.

Dining Experiences Dining at Mikumi Wildlife Lodge is as memorable as the landscape itself.

Guests can savour traditional Boma dinners beneath a canopy of stars, toast the sunset with signature cocktails overlooking the plains, or celebrate special moments with private poolside dinners curated by the culinary team.

Fresh local ingredients, attentive service and spectacular surroundings elevate every meal into an occasion.

Amenities Beyond its accommodation, the lodge offers an impressive collection of facilities including a swimming pool, wellness spa, fitness centre, games room, boutique, restaurant, two bars, laundry service and personalised room service. Every space has been thoughtfully created to provide comfort without compromising the connection to the surrounding wilderness.

Activities & Excursions Adventure remains at the heart of the Mikumi experience. Guided game drives reveal the park’s remarkable

biodiversity, while night safaris offer a rare glimpse into the lives of nocturnal wildlife. Walking safaris invite guests to discover the smaller details of the bush alongside experienced guides, and visits to the nearby Chilunga Cultural Tourism Programme provide meaningful encounters with local traditions and communities.

The Mikumi Experience What truly distinguishes Mikumi Wildlife Lodge is its philosophy of delivering luxury through experience rather than excess. Every sunrise over the plains, every elephant at the watering hole and every quiet evening beneath Africa’s starlit skies becomes part of a carefully curated guest journey.

As Tanzania continues to emerge as one of Africa’s premier safari destinations, Mikumi Wildlife Lodge stands as an exciting new benchmark for luxury hospitality in the country’s southern circuit—where timeless comfort, authentic encounters and untamed beauty come together to create memories that endure long after the journey ends.

Exploring Zanzibar at its fullest with Maru Maru hospitality

Maru Maru Hotel consists of two wings – the Classic Wing with 11 rooms, which have undergone restoration, and the New Wing with 33 modern rooms built around a small courtyard with a star-shaped fountain. The courtyard is ideal for spending time quietly reading, the noise of the water in the fountain a soothing backdrop. On the way to the courtyard, there is a coffee shop which also serves freshly baked pastries and cakes just in case you want to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea whilst rewinding.

The rooms are well equipped with modern amenities, a comfortable bed in Zanzibari style, swathed in a mosquito net, which is not only essential but also creates a romantic atmosphere with the stained-

An elevator connects both wings to the rooftop terrace, which is a delightful place to be, largely because of the stunning view of the ocean, so you can witness the gentle traffic of dhows, a vista that’s barely changed in generations.

Climbing the flight of wooden stairs leading to the terrace restaurant and reflecting on the hotel’s personality, it’s evident why Maru Maru has been the

preferred property for eminent personalities like Bill Clinton and his daughter, Chelsea. And it wasn’t just the atmosphere that struck me, the scent of the place did too: the hotel smells wonderful as day-long diffusers burn perfumed essential oils.

Maru Maru serves a delightful variety of cuisines, especially Continental and Asian – quality is great and portions are generous.

I especially loved the way an array of sauces was offered which you could blend with the main ingredient – poultry, meat, seafood or vegetables.

All the staff right - from the General Manager, receptionist, chefs –lead and supporting roles were super friendly and helpful.

Services and requests were promptly addressed.

So, if you’re after an affordable Stone Town break – Maru Maru is a great option and delivers the perfect launch pad from where to explore this historic little place.

Chumbe offers some of the most pristine and colourful coral reefs in the world, with over 200 species of coral providing a sanctuary for more than 400 species of colourful fish.

To protect these coral reefs, diving is not permitted in the marine park. The reef is shallow enough to see everything very clearly with a mask, snorkel and fins.

Knowledgeable guides take guests on daily snorkelling and forest tours. Chumbe can be visited for day trips or longer, staying in ‘ecobungalows’ overlooking the Indian Ocean. Chumbe Island contains a lighthouse (which is still operational and was built by the British in 1904), a ruined mosque and the lighthouse keeper’s house, is now converted into a spectacular education centre and restaurant. All profits from tourism on Chumbe Island are reinvested into the conservation and education programs operating in the Park, and the island is staffed and managed by local Zanzibaris from the fishing community with voluntary support from overseas experts.

over 350 fish species, 35 genera of coral and exceptional bird life.

MENAI BAY, CONSERVATION AREA

In the southwest of Zanzibar Island, near Fumba to the west and Unguja Ukuu to the east, Menai Bay is a sea-turtle breeding area and also encompasses several coral reefs, an abundance of marine life and dense mangrove forests. It is also famous for its Humpback and Bottlenose Dolphins. It extends from the southwest corner of Zanzibar Island encompassing several small islands and sand banks each with its own spectacular coral reef. Traditional boats make regular trips for snorkelling on the reefs, picnics on the islands and the star attraction of swimming with dolphins and whales.

MISALI ISLAND, CONSERVATION AREA (PEMBA)

Located just west of Pemba, has some of the highest recorded coral cover, and high species diversity with 40 genera of coral and 350 fish species. The 1 square kilometer of terrestrial area supports endangered nesting turtles, and the dense coastal thickets harbour

populations of green monkeys, the endangered and endemic Pemba Flying Fox, globally endangered Coconut Crabs and various species of birds. Economically, fishing at Misali provides direct livelihood support to 11,400 people. There is a non-extraction zone that covers part of the total conservation area.

Recreational activities such as diving and snorkelling, passage and scientific research are permitted within the non-extraction zone, but any type of activity that depletes the area’s natural resources is not allowed (such as fishing or shell and coral collecting).

MNAZI BAY, MARINE PARK

Located in southern Tanzania, on the Mozambique border, is home to important populations of whales, dolphins, four species of turtle and numerous birds. The area is recognised as being internationally important for its biodiversity, with mangroves, sea grass beds and coral reefs inhabiting the island.

There are 12 villages in the area and it is hoped that visitors to the marine park will help the local economy of this area, one of the poorest and least developed in Tanzania.

MNEMBA, CONSERVATION AREA

Located about 4.5 km off the northeastern tip of Zanzibar Island. The island is 1.5 km in circumference and is surrounded by spectacular coral reefs. Turtles lay and hatch their eggs all year round and there is excellent diving and snorkelling.

The haven of peace

“Dar Es Salaam” Tanzania’s bustling capital

O

ver the last century, Dar es Salaam has transformed from a sleepy Zaramo fishing village into a thriving metropolis of over four million people (and growing).

Straddling some of the most important sea routes in the world, it is East Africa’s second56 56 August 2026 | Dar Life

busiest port and Tanzania’s commercial hub.

The city is a melting pot of cultural influe nces, Arab, Indian, German and British influences can be found in the city’s architecture. Sikhs, Muslims, Hindus and Christians coexist peacefully, with the wail of the azan blending with the sound of church bells in the

mornings. Down at Kariakoo, Chinese electronics jostle with chickens in the market, cheerful Tingatinga paintings are stacked next to folded piles of khangas and kitenges, traditional medicines sit alongside neat pyramids of fruit and vegetables as shopkeepers hawk their wares.

Dar es salaam means ‘haven of peace’. The name was bestowed on the city during the time of Sultan Seyyid Majid, who chose the sleeping fishing village of Zaramo to have his summer palace, Bandur ul Salaam, the palace of peace. The village thrived and grew under the Sultan’s presence, becoming a centre of trade for ivory and slaves and transforming over time into the bustling city of Dar es salaam.”Although Dodoma, in the middle of the country, is Tanzania’s designated capital city, Dar es Salaam remains Tanzania’s social and commercial heart, as the country’s largest and richest city.It is one of the largest cities in East Africa by population, as well as a regionally important economic centre. Located on the Swahili coast, the city is one of the fastest growing cities in the world.

Visitors to Dar es Salaam are well catered for, with a choice of accommodation for all budgets, from backpacker hostels to five star hotels. For the business traveler, there are a number of hotels boasting world-class conference facilities. There’s a mind boggling range of restaurants offering Thai, Indian, Italian,

Japanese, Turkish Cuisine Ethiopian cuisine and more.

Of course, you can also find local restaurants serving chipsi, ugali and nyama choma, freshly grilled meat.

If you are a street foodie you can try the Mishkakis (grilled beef of chicken skewers) and fried Mohogo (tapioca)

dipped in spicy chili sauce sold at the street kiosks at the Oysterbay Beach located on the peninsula.

Dar has an electric live music scene.

Traditional taarab orchestras rub shoulders with dance bands playing jazz, salsa and afro funk. Rap, hip-hop and bongo flava artists collaborate 57 August 2026 | Dar Life 57

and perform around the city.

Tanzania’s best and most inventive musicians are showcased in May at the B-Connected Festival in Mnazi Mmoja Grounds. For film lovers, November sees Dar host the annual Euro African Film Festival.

For the art and history aficionados, the Nyumba ya Sanaa (Nyerere Cultural Centre) exhibits art and handicrafts throughout the year and gives visitors the chance to take part in workshops on painting, batik and etching.

The National Museum and Botanical Gardens are also

58 58 August 2026 | Dar Life

another diverting way to spend a day, tracing the history of Tanzania, from prehistoric fossils through to the relics of colonialism.

Beyond the museums, music and art found in the city centre, Dar has its own selection of spectacular beaches at Kunduchi, Mikadi, Mjimwema and Jangwani. At jangwani, there’s snorkeling and diving on offer, with the chance to see tuna, king fish and even white tipped reef sharks. Kunduchi is home to Kunduchi wet ‘n’ Wild, East Africa’s largest water park, with go-karting, quadbiking, waterskiing and slides, it is ideal for a day out with the family.

Visitors could cross over to Kigamboni by a 10 minutes’ ferry ride or by a 20 minutes’through road crossing one of the beautiful bridges called “The Nyerere bridge” where they spend the morning at the Waterpark or just relax and catch a tan at the popular Mikadi Beach.

CONVERSATIONAL COMMERCE Why the Future of Everyday Banking Lives Inside WhatsApp

It’s closing time for a shop owner in Mwanza. She’s still messaging a customer about tomorrow’s delivery when she remembers three things at once: confirm a supplier payment cleared, check her balance before placing a stock order, and pay her DAWASCO bill before it’s overdue. She doesn’t open a banking app.

She doesn’t even leave the conversation she’s already in.

She sends “Hi” to a number already saved in her phone, and her bank answers her right there.

W

e live in an era where consumers value convenience above almost everything else. The modern digital user doesn’t want to jump between five different applications or navigate heavy software interfaces just to execute a basic financial transaction. In Tanzania, where over 20 million people use WhatsApp daily to run businesses, manage family conversations, and coordinate their lives, the logical next step for us was simple: bring the bank directly into the chat room.

With the rollout of Exim WhatsApp Banking, we’ve taken a real milestone in conversational banking, turning a daily communication app into a secure, comprehensive financial channel.

74 74 August 2026 | Dar Life

We designed the onboarding process to mimic natural human conversation. Save our verified number, +255 675 800 100, send a simple text saying “Hi,” and you instantly unlock a robust, menudriven banking experience built around the things people actually do most often.

Demystifying Digital Safety: The Security Framework We know that bringing financial access into a casual social application naturally raises security questions, and it’s one we built around from the start, balancing conversational simplicity with enterprise-grade security.

Once you’re active, the platform handles complex everyday workflows right inside the chat window. You can check your balance and pull up a mini-statement of your most recent transactions without ever switching screens. You can send money seamlessly to mobile wallets including M-Pesa, Mixx By Yas, Airtel Money, or Ezy Pesa, or execute bankto-bank transfers in real time. You can complete a government payment through GePG, settle a utility bill like DAWASCO, or instantly purchase electricity and airtime with a few quick taps. And if your card needs attention, you can block, unblock, or manage its parameters securely through automated text prompts, no call to us required.

Every single transaction executed within the chat is backed by end-toend encryption and mandatory PIN verification. While the experience feels as casual and effortless as messaging a colleague, the architecture underneath holds strictly to Bank of Tanzania regulatory requirements and international data protection standards.

By the time our shop owner in Mwanza finishes her conversation with her customer, she’s also confirmed her supplier payment, checked her balance, and cleared her DAWASCO bill. None of it pulled her out of the chat she was already in.

Meeting the Consumer Where They Breathe For us, the true value of conversational banking lies in empathy, understanding that technology should adapt to how people live, not the other way around. With WhatsApp Banking, we’re moving beyond technology for technology’s sake, putting safe, high-speed financial tools right into the palm of the Tanzanian consumer’s hand.
