Bagamoyo is art, culture, and a fascinating history. The town lies on the beautiful coast of Tanzania, north of Dar es Salaam.
The town of Bagamoyo – nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site – was once an important trading port and the capital of German East Africa. It was the stopover for the slave and ivory caravans who traveled from Lake Tanganyika to Zanzibar.
