>> Safaris >> Bagamoyo

75km north of Dar-es-Salaam is the former capital of Tanganyika and chief seaport, Bagamoyo, once a notorious embarkation port for slave trade: remainders of which can still be seen in the shape of shackle rings, stone pens etc. Bagamoyo is said to mean "Here I lay down my heart", a cry of desperation by slaves before they were packed aboard vessels for their voyage into captivity.

It was in the Catholic Mission chapel here that Livingstone's remains lay before they were taken to Zanzibar and then to England. The Mission has a museum with a wonderful collection of photographs and mementos relating of Livingstone and to German colonial times. A house in which Henry Morton Stanley lived a century ago can still be seen in solitary splendor near the beach..

About 5km to the south, at Kaole, are ruins of coral mosque as well as graves and houses dating back to the late 13th century.
