The town of Bagamoyo is a home to world class  Historical sites and one of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites with rich  cultural heritage waiting you to explore.

This town was once a most important trading port along the East  African Coast and a German East Africa Capital. Bagamoyo is home to many  ethnic groups, including the Wakwere, Wazaramo and Wazigua. Different  cultures including people of Arab descent coexist in Bagamoyo making the  town a peaceful and friendly place for visitors from all over the  world.

The town of Bagamoyo was one of the most important trading ports on  the East African coast and the penultimate stop of slave and ivory  caravans travelling on foot from Lake Tanganyika on their way to  Zanzibar. Missionaries active in abolishing the slave trade made  Bagamoyo, whose name means ‘bury my heart’ in Kiswahili, a centre for  their activities.

Bagamoyo is a quiet village with a few German colonial buildings  still standing. In the past, the town of Bagamoyo was one of the most  important trading ports on the entire East African coast. Its port was  the penultimate stop of slave and ivory caravans that travelled on foot  all the way from Lake Tanganyika.  Once the caravans reached Bagamoyo, the slaves and ivory were shipped  by dhow to Zanzibar, where they were then dispatched all over the world.  These days, Bagamoyo is a centre of dhow building in the region and  along the Tanzanian Coast.
