Established in the late 18th century, Bagamoyo has a rich and multifaceted history, having once served as a major Arab trading port and later as the capital of East German Africa. Begin your tour with a visit to the Kaole Ruins.located 3 kilometers from Bagamoyo town. This site features remnants of early Arab settlements, including a 13th-century mosque, which is considered one of the oldest in Tanzania, later mosque from the 15th century. The ruins include several ancient graves, tombs, and a small museum showcasing various artifacts.

After visiting the museum, take a stroll to the impressive baobab tree
Next, head to the Old Fort, a prominent historical structure in Bagamoyo. Built in 1860, this fort has served various purposes, including as a provision house, a slave holding facility, and a military camp during colonial times.

The compound includes the main church, a stone memorial tower dedicated to explorer David Livingstone, a mission cemetery, and various buildings used by missionaries.
