TOWNS AND CITIES IN TANZANIA.

Bagamoyo.
 Bagamoyo was one of the most important trading ports on the East African coast and also a prominent stop of slave and ivory caravans travelling on foot from Lake Tanganyika on their way to Zanzibar. Missionaries who were active in abolishing the slave trade made Bagamoyo, whose name means ‘bury my heart’ in Kiswahili, a centre of their activities.

These days, Bagamoyo is now a centre for dhow sailboat building on the Tanzanian coast. Its a quiet village with a few German colonial buildings still existing. In the past, the town of Bagamoyo was one of the most important trading ports on the entire East African coast. Its port was a prominent stop of slave and ivory caravans that travelled on foot all the way from Lake Tanganyika. Once the caravans reached Bagamoyo, the slaves and ivory were shipped by dhow to Zanzibar, where they were then dispatched all over the world. These days, Bagamoyo is a centre of dhow building in the region and along the Tanzanian coast.
