Police force demonstration at the 33rd DITF in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania


Two police officers each one on the back of a horse demonstrating how capable they are when chasing for a criminal in pursuit in order to get hold of him while riding on the back of a horse. This was during the 33rd DITF trade fair show


A wonderful scene that puzzled show goers is when a police dog was ordered to pick a Tanzanian flag among the three flags which were spread on the ground. To the great dismay many were puzzled to see a dog that could recognize a Tanzanian flag and picked it from the ground.


Here a police dog demonstrates how capable it can detect a briefcase containing cocaine drugs and other drug pellets illegally transported by criminals at the airport.

Here a dog demonstrates how it can jump through a hole made like a window in an attempt to chase a criminal, while his master is running alongside it in a practical show during the 33rd DITF trade fair. Everybody was amazed by the way these dogs performed before them.

The Ministry of Tourism and Natural Resources has been the major participant in this international trade fair, and call for Tanzanians to visit and enjoy the most wildlife treasure and most tourist attractions has been the order of the day. Many Tanzanians including the affluent, regard tourism as the business of foreigners especially the white people. A random survey at the just ended DITF trade fair has found that for every 10 executives, hardly five of them have ever seen a live lion or an elephant. In Dar es Salaam most of the people have never visited even the closest national parks of Mikumi and Saadani or tourist attractions in Bagamoyo. Bagamoyo is a famous spot for ruins left behind by slave trade, German colonial administration and the Kaole where there are buildings by Persians and Arabs who occupied the area in the 12th century. This was observed during the 33rd DITF where the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism declared its goal to promote domestic tourism. The Ministry’s pavilion is perhaps the most popular spot at the Mwalimu Nyerere show grounds, as thousands of visitors call to have a glimpse of live game under captivity there. This time the Ministry brought different animals at the pavilion that included a male lion and two white little lion species from South Africa, leopard, giraffe, monkeys, python, crocodiles, hyena and many others. Also in the cages are different types of birds and snakes of different species.
