SnapDistance does not publish a road-distance or driving-time figure for London to Dar es Salaam. Although the land is physically connected, a continuous drive would cross several international borders and long corridors where an ordinary road journey cannot be assumed, so a straight-line road estimate would not describe a usable route.
The geographic halfway point of the great-circle path between London and Dar es Salaam lies at approximately 23.5247°N, 24.2276°E — the position that is an equal 3,744 km from each city along that path. It is a geometric midpoint, not a halfway point by road.
Depending on the date, Dar es Salaam (Africa/Dar_es_Salaam) is 2 or 3 hours ahead of London (Europe/London), because daylight saving changes on different dates in the two zones or applies in only one of them.
