I found out that I had an African card showing something else except wild animals , what a joy ! It was send to me from my ex Tanzanian penfriend Sammy (it is not stamped however) . It depicts Kilimanjaro Hotel in Dar es Salaam , Tanzania's biggest city. It was once the capital too but it handed over the priviledge to the city of Dodoma . It remains the cultural & economical center of the country though! It was founded by sultan Majid bin Said of Zanzibar in 1865 very close to small fishing village called Mzizima (Swahili term for " healthy town ).Dar es Salaam means home/harbor of peace ( Arabic : dar (home) or bandar ( harbor) & es Salaam ( of peace )!
