The visit on your way to anything, was no payment to enter. It is a small monument. nicely taken care of. a bit dangerous as the traffic circle is very busy. focus on the traffic and not taking photos till in a safe zone. Nice place to take photos. Worth researching what you are visiting.

Its a symbol of Dar es Salaam as a city and as one among the place where soldiers who fought in the WW1 actually come from. It's great to visit this place and admire the contribution of African soldiers in the WW1
