About Askari Monument

In the heart of the city of Dar es Salaam, you will find a bronze structure that is the pride of the city! The structure of a soldier holding a bayonet has been erected right in the middle of Dar as a symbol of bravery, pride, and for paying regards to the soldiers who fought for the country in World War 1. The statue itself says a lot about the olden times and sings about the bravery of the unsung heroes of the past that laid down their lives for the country. It is a visual treat and can be easily accessed through the city centre and is a must-see attraction.
