Tongoni Historical Ruins-From Tanga City (Oldest Fishing Village)

Tongoni Ruins Still Standing

Tongoni Ruins About 17 km south of Tanga City lies the Tongoni ruins, the largest collection of Shiraz Tombs in East Africa. There are approximately 40 tombs on site as well as the remains of a Mosque that date from the 14th to 15th Century. We cycled there with Daniel of Ilya Tours after our morning visit to Urithi Tanga Museum. The ruins indicate there was immense prosperity in the area before the Portuguese arrived and disrupted the trading routes on which the coastal towns, like Tongoni, depended. It was a joy to walk through the Tongoni fishing village guided by Glory who was quite knowledgeable and ready to answer our questions. We got to see how the community still lives in line with the socialism Ujamaa virtue. From Tongoni we crossed with the speed boat to the white sandy beach of Tambarani for a quick swim.

Visit Sisal Plantations & Processing Factory - Full Day Tour

An exciting day trip with many interesting insights into the Tanga region.

An exciting day trip with many interesting insights into the Tanga region. At the sisal plantation, I was told the history of cultivation and everything about the cultivation, care, harvesting and processing of the plant fiber was clearly explained. The city tour through Tanga was a highlight for anyone interested in history: in the museum, whose building dates back to the German colonial era, there are many pictures from the German and British colonial era, but also objects about the culture of the coastal inhabitants. We then visited other buildings, statues and cemeteries. An educational day!
