Other attractions are the national dancing troupe and the ebony wood sculptures of the Makonde tribe. Visas are required and are valid for Zanzibar as well. Yellow fever and cholera immunizations are required and malaria suppressants advised. In 1997, there were 347,000 tourist arrivals, and tourist receipts totaled $392 million. That year there were 7,470 hotel rooms with 13,248 beds.

In 2002, the US Department of State estimated the cost of staying in Dar es Salaam at $217 per day.
