Swahili heritage and a poignant slave-trade history.
Once a key port of the East African slave and ivory trade and the former capital of German East Africa, Bagamoyo is a UNESCO-tentative town layered with history. Walk its old streets and caravan sites, visit the arts college, and soak up centuries of Swahili culture on the Indian Ocean.
Moving and educational. A meaningful stop that pairs perfectly with Zanzibar.
