Strolling through Bagamoyo’s narrow, unpaved streets takes you back to the mid-19th century, when the town was one of the most important settlements along the East African coast and the terminus of the trade caravan route linking Lake Tanganyika with the sea. Slaves, ivory, salt and copra were unloaded here before being shipped to Zanzibar Island and elsewhere, and many European explorers, including Richard Burton, Henry Morton Stanley and David Livingstone, began and ended their trips here. In 1868 French missionaries established Freedom Village at Bagamoyo as a shelter for ransomed slaves, and for the remainder of the century the town served as a way station for missionaries travelling from Zanzibar Island to the interior.

  • Bagamoyo Museum, Bagamoyo, Tanzania
    Bagamoyo, (which means “Lay down your heart”) lies 75kms north of Dar es Salaam. It was the most important trading center of the east central coast of Africa in the late 19th century. Bagamoyo’s history has been influenced by Indian and Arab traders, by the German colonial government and by Christian missionaries. The town has recently been designated as Tanzania’s seventh world heritage site. Depart early in the morning heading to Bagamoyo Town, north of Dar es Salaam for a visit to the historical buildings, a slave port, Coral Mosques at Kaole, graves and other things dated to the 13th century, the old ferry at the great Wami River, reminders of the slave trade: Shackle rings, Stone pens Lunch at Paradise Local Restaurant, then return to Dar late afternoon. Places to visit: Kaole ruins:The oldest ruins of an Islamic mosque in the region, stemming from the 13th century, a few km south of Bagamoyo near Kaole, possibly the oldest mosque on mainland of East Africa at all. The Bagamoyo Church: It was was built in 1868 and considered to be the first church in East Coast of Africa. Cemetery where the early missionaries were buried and a small shrine which was built by freed slaves in 1876 are all seen. “We are told that between 1934 and 1991, 35 Dutch priests worked here The last of this long line of priests from the Netherlands was Father Frits Versteijnen who stayed in Bagamoyo for 30 years and started the first museum in the old Fathers’€™ House in March 1968. The second Fathers House in Bagamoyo, constructed close to the Mother of all Churches in East Africa, has also fallen victim to the corrosive effects of the coast regions relentlessly humid climate. Its ground floor was built in 1873, the first floor in 1877 and the second floor in 1903. Boma: Built in 1895-1897 as residence and offices for the German colonial governor. In 1998 the roof collapsed and pulled the balcony down during the El Nino rains. The building is up to now fascinating but highly in danger. Chuo cha Sanaa. (College of Arts): Is the only major arts college in the Tanzania, teaching various fields: dancing, music, drama and painting. It is situated along the Kaole road, close to Kaole ruins. During the weekends student give free performances allowing visitors to acquaint themselves with traditional dances. It is also possible to learn to play various local music instruments with the college, but this has to be arranged and negotiated in advance. Bagamoyo Museum: It is a small museum, which displays Bagamoyo history in relation to its contact with foreigners. It has old photographs, documents and relics from slave trade. On the same compound there is a small chapel know as Anglican church of Holly Cross. The church is famous for being a place where the remains of David Livingstone were laid before taken to Zanzibar en route to Westminster abbey for burial. After all these tours you will go for a local lunch and then go spend few hours on the beach and later drive back to Dar es salaam

Mr. Edward from the travel agency promptly offered us a trip to the city of Bagamoyo. The historic city together with the perfect guide Michael met our expectations. A great lunch and a detailed explanation about the history of the city was really of a high standard. We recommend visitors to Tanzania not to miss this opportunity.

The trip was great. Hamis is a great driver and pleasant person. The round trip was smooth and easy. I enjoyed exploring the history of Bagamoyo with Michael. We walked all over town and he answered all my questions. The restaurant was okay but I didn’t expect much anyway since it is a small town. Overall, the trip was successful thanks to Hamis and Michael. Thank you!

This was my final trip before departing home. Bagamoyo had a lot history from the Muslims to the Germans to the British. Bagamoyo you can call the melting pots of culture because all of these cultures helped give religion, architecture, and so much more to this city. Plus, you can get gifts here such the local paintings for reasonable prices compared to in Dar es Salaam. If you have the chance, it is a must go because there is so much history here! Safaris Partners did a very good job with every detail of this, and I highly recommend them for your holidays.
