Day trip Bagamoyo. (Former Capital of Tanganyika)

Introduction

At 9:00 AM, depart from Dar es Salaam city center to Bagamoyo. Bagamoyo has played various historical
roles in Tanzania. Apart from being a slave and ivory port, it was also the capital of German East Africa from
the late 19th century until the end of World War I. Explorers such as Burton, Speke, Grant, Livingstone and
Stanley all passed through this town. The name Bagamoyo comes from the Swahili words “bwaga moyo”,
meaning “to throw down your heart”, a despair expressed by people who were captured as slaves, knowing
that they faced an uncertain future. On arrival, visit the Kaole Ruins, ruins of the Shirazi trade town (13th-17th
century), Old ferry on the mighty Wami River. Lunch will be served at a restaurant in Bagamoyo. (Visit the
Bagamoyo School of Arts for a Ngoma (traditional dance) session may be arranged upon prior notice. Extra
cost applies). The tour ends in Dar es Salaam city centre around 5:30 PM.
