| | Steinfeld Safari: Kairakoo Market (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | I read in my guidebook that the name Kariakoo dates from World War I, when, after the expulsion of the Germans from the city in 1916, thousands of Tanzanians were conscripted into the hated British Carrier Corps serve as war porters. |
 | | After the war, Kariakoo was left to the African population. |
 | | We only had time to see a very small portion of Kariakoo market, however, I managed to get everything that I had come for, a new mosquito net, a set of dishes for the house, a few hangers, and an extension cord. |
