Friendswithnobenz FWNB is the creation of Dar-es-Salaam based duo, Pie and Ian, whom together created a shared Instagram page that first started as a joke aimed at poking fun at one and other for personal laughs. It has since evolved into somewhat of a brand of its own that showcases their friendship and creativity in promoting and enjoying the Dar nightlife.
Even without a benz. P: I took the liberty of googling a little bit about dar beforehand. I: quick lines about our history: we got our independence in , and our first president was mwalimu Julius Nyerere. And what are we to the world?
I: we are known for the coast, the ocean…the great Indian ocean. P: wow untrue. But in all honesty, this place is so live. What do you think? I have more to say but you go liveliness. Dar has so many options and places you can go to. If you get bored of one place you can go to the next, and its probably popping. P: I also think that we know how to have a good time.
I: and the price is reasonable…friendly even. You know, friends with no benz type. I: And the weather!! Rainy season is around March to April, or early June…and even then people will still be out, but definitely far less as the roads can get pretty messy. P: You can find a good range of activities and locations depending on your budget for sure. I: finding a place in your budget, your best bet is staying in mikocheni or in masaki, since they are the closest to the places that would make your stay more comfortable….
P: yeah, to actually stay in a place in masaki would be quite expensive. I: where would the average tourist stay though? Airbnb, and they would be in masaki or mikocheni. Airbnb would probably have the best deals for places you can stay, but places like bed and breakfasts would be very pricey. I: i suggest an airbnb first and foremost. But of course depending on your budget, you could decide on a star hotel.
