Home / Kigamboni
The destination
Kigamboni, Dar es Salaam — coastal calm, city close.
A peninsula of beaches and open sky just across the harbour from Tanzania's largest city.
Why Kigamboni
Close to everything. Far from the noise.
Kigamboni sits on the southern side of Dar es Salaam's harbour, linked to the city by bridge and ferry.
It offers what a leadership retreat needs: quiet beaches, ocean air and room to breathe, within easy reach of the international airport, the city's business district and onward travel to Zanzibar and Tanzania's national parks.
For our founders, it's also home ground. The Iamwomanpreneur team has run events in Dar es Salaam since 2018 — at the National Museum and House of Culture — and works with local chambers, women's networks and tourism partners.
Getting here
Easy to reach from around the world.
By air
Fly into Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR), Dar es Salaam, with connections across Africa, Europe, the Middle East and beyond. We'll help arrange transfers for retreat and event guests.
By bridge or ferry
Kigamboni is connected to central Dar es Salaam by the Nyerere Bridge and the Magogoni ferry across the harbour.
Onward travel
Extend your stay with Zanzibar's beaches and Stone Town, or Tanzania's world-famous safari parks.
Sea-view protection
A view that stays.
Alongside the main site, a beach-adjacent plot is part of the Phase 1 plan.
- Protects the Landmark's permanent sea view
- Prevents future development blocking the view
- Becomes an outdoor retreat garden and wellness / yoga deck
- Creates a pathway to the beach
Bridging nations
