Slaves and ivory, Victorian explorers and excellent sandy beach getaways
Bagamoyo
Bagamoyo is best known for the route from Lake Tanganyika used to ship on Omani slaves and ivory to Zanzibar. The peak of activity as a trading centre came during the 19th Century.
The port was the starting point for great lake expeditions of the Victorian explorers Burton and Speke. Livingstone's body was carried this way to Zanzibar en route to Westminster Abbey.
The German colonial administration used Bagamoyo as a regional headquarters only to be overtaken as Dar was preferred for the main railway inland. The Hanging Tree is probably the starkest reminder of harsh colonial rule.
Kaole Ruins are evidence of much earlier settlement in Bagamoyo Bay with 12th Century links to the major trading centre at Kilwa.
