Nairobi vs Dodoma
Dodoma vs Nairobi Tanzania’s capital Dodoma and Kenya’s capital Nairobi are perhaps epitomes of the East African region. Dodoma is another city and it’s less energetic compared to Dar es Salaam, it is famous for its serene nature, and culture and for being the administrative capital. While in Dodoma, one can also enjoy vineyards and religious attractions, local markets and get a real Tanzanian feel.
Whereas Nairobi is an urban centre and one of the most active economic centres in Africa. That is why it is called the ‘Safari Capital of the World and here, you can visit such a wonderful place as Nairobi’s own National Park where the animals live behind the walls of the big city. Apart from pulsating nightlife, favourite eateries and shopping malls, extensive ranges of cuisines and thinking and debating hubs like the Karen Blixen Museum, Nairobi is a paradise for both the city strivers and the adventure seekers. On this one, it depends on whether one is in the mood for a relatively relaxed and subdued Dodoma city or the charged Nairobi city full of diverse nature and city-based adventure swings.
