The name Dodoma means "Well, the name Dodoma is derived from Idodomya, a word in the Chigogo (Gogo) language, which means, “it has sunk.” Tradition says that, an elephant once came to drink at a nearby creek, and got stuck in the mud, and gradually sank. It was then that the villagers exclaimed in amazement, “idodomya!” And from that moment, the place was known as Idodomya, the place where the elephant “has sunk.” It later became Dodoma in 1907 when the Germans colonists, who were probably struggling to pronounce Idodomya, came for the construction of the Tanzanian central railway.
The layout followed the typical colonial planning of the time with a European quarter segregated from a native village" and is an exciting mix of sightseeing, shopping, and entertainment. The capital city of Tanzania reflects a fascinating blend of its rich historical past and its sophisticated contemporary present. Learn about interesting facts of the city as well as some incredible historical sights that are all part of the adventure of the half-day tour.
