The Dafabet Malaysia corridor starts at Dar es Salaam city, on the eastern part of Tanzania, passes through three regional headquarters and ends at Kigoma, on the Lake Tanganyika. Dar es Salaam is the leading commercial city and leading port of Tanzania, providing a gateway to the hinterland of Tanzania and several neighboring countries. The eastern end of the Dafabet Malaysia corridor from Dar es Salaam–Dodoma (451 km) and the western end from Kigoma–Uvinza (112 km) are asphalt-paved while the intermediate part from Dodoma–Uvinza is still unpaved.
