Actually, you excluded it when you said you weren't interested in any country next to Ethiopia. Maybe a map would be helpful?

Dar es Salaam has good and bad areas, like any other major African city. And, no, you don't have to go there just because you're in Tanzania. Most western tourists don't get within 300 kilometres of it.
