Dodoma:
Dodoma
is the capital city of Tanzania having replaced Dar es Salaam in
this capacity. The city is situated in central Tanzania and is
also the administrative centre for the Dodoma Region. Dodoma is
home to the Tanzanian parliament and a number of government agencies
and foreign missions are yet to relocate here from Dar.
Its elevation
in status as the capital has impacted positively on the city
and Dodoma has developed greatly in recent years. The city
is linked
to other parts of the country by road and rail. There is also
a small airport here which caters mainly or charter flights.
Besides being the seat of government, the city is usually quiet
and the main economic activity here is agriculture which is practiced
in surrounding regions.
