If you're taking a sightseeing tour of downtown Dar, you might wonder about this striking statue at one of the city's major intersections. Cast in bronze, the Askari Monument depicts an Askari (soldier) in a World War I uniform, the bayonet of his rifle pointing towards the nearby harbor. It commemorates the African troops who fought as the Carrier Corps in World War I.

The statue stands about a block back from the Azania Front Lutheran Church. Address: Azikwe Street and Samora Avenue, Dar es Salaam
