Dodoma, Capital city in central Tanzania

Located at an elevation of 1,135 meters in the heart of Tanzania, Dodoma functions as the administrative center of the country and the Dodoma Region.

The German colonists established Dodoma in 1907 during the construction of the Tanzanian central railway, creating separate European and native quarters.

The residents of Dodoma represent multiple ethnic groups, including the Gogo, Rangi, and Sandawe peoples, each maintaining their traditions and customs.

The city connects to major destinations through an airport for small aircraft, the Central Railway Line, and highways linking to Dar es Salaam.

The surrounding agricultural region produces numerous crops, including grapes, sunflowers, peanuts, castor beans, corn, rice, wheat, coffee, tea, and tobacco.
