About Bagamoyo

Bagamoyo, located on the Tanzanian coast about 75 kilometers north of Dar es Salaam, is a town filled with history, culture, and charm. Once a major port and a center for trade, Bagamoyo holds an important place in East Africa’s history, particularly during the 19th century as a hub for the caravan trade and the spread of cultures along the Swahili Coast. Today, its quiet beaches and historic ruins offer travelers a chance to step back in time while enjoying the peaceful Indian Ocean atmosphere.

Our guided tours take you through the cobbled streets of the old town, where you will discover centuries-old Arab buildings, the old Catholic mission, the slave trade memorials, and local art centers where traditional crafts thrive.
