The east coast and southeast of Tanzania is the low-lying hot and humid coast of the country near the Indian Ocean. The region includes primarily the developed region around the de facto capital of Dar es Salaam. The city is the main air gateway to the country and offers many interesting sites to explore and even beach hotels, ideal for acclimatization before traveling around the country. To the north is the capital of the German colonial era - the city of Bagamoyo. Further north, the coast is devoid of tourist facilities, and to enjoy the wonderful scenery, you must visit the Usambara Mountains. The coast to the south of Dar es Salaam is an undeveloped area that is part of the Selous Reserve, which can only be visited by true extremes.
