The lighthouse structure is similar to that of Ras Mkumbi Lighthouse and is a square masonry tower with a red lantern and gallery. The lighthouse structure was refurbished between 1997 and 1999 in a project that saw the overhaul of Port of Dar es Salaam infrastructure.{{Cite news|url=http://www.jamiiforums.com/threads/tukumbuke-zamani-historia-ya-taifa-letu-katika-picha.17116/page-53|title=Tukumbuke Zamani: Historia Ya Taifa Letu Katika Picha|newspaper=JamiiForums {{!}} The Home of Great Thinkers|access-date=2016-10-08}}
