About
The Tanzania Tourist Board's official S!TE tourism expo runs at Mlimani City in Dar es Salaam from 23–25 October. It is primarily a travel-trade event for buyers, exhibitors and destination partners, not a general Serengeti festival.
Highlights
- Official Tanzania Tourist Board event with confirmed dates and venue
- Tourism buyers, exhibitors and destination partners in one programme
Practical tips
- Register before arranging a Dar es Salaam add-on
- This is a flight connection from the Serengeti, not a road day trip
- General leisure travellers may find the programme too trade-focused
