About Bagamoyo
Where the caravans ended
On the coast, north of Dar es Salaam
Bagamoyo, on the coast north of Dar es Salaam, was once the terminus of the caravan and slave routes and a capital of German East Africa — today a quiet town of crumbling history, arts and beaches.
Its old town, ruins and college of arts make it a rewarding cultural discovery from the coast.
