Days/ 2 Nights Bagamoyo
Town Safari - Tanzania explores
Bagamoyo Town considered a Tanzania’s
Seventh World Heritage Site and
the oldest town in Tanzania. Bagamoyo's history has
been influenced by Arab and Indian traders, the German
colonial government and Christian missionaries.
Although
Bagamoyo is no longer the busy port city that it once
was, Tanzania’s Department of Antiquities is working
to revitalize the town and maintain the dozens of ruins
in and around Bagamoyo.
Bagamoyo
was the major slave trading post in East Africa. Bagamoyo,
which means ‘lay down your heart’ in Swahili,
was probably given this name because Bagamoyo was the
last place the slaves would stay in Tanzania before
being shipped off to foreign lands.
Although
the slave trade officially ended in 1873, slaves continued
to be sold and traded in Bagamoyo through the end of
the nineteenth century.
During
the slave trade, it was not uncommon to see hundreds
of slaves walking through the streets of Bagamoyo chained
together by the neck. Slaves were collected from the
interior by capture, purchase or trade and then shipped
to Zanzibar or Arab countries.
