Recently designated as Tanzania’s seventh world heritage site, it is the oldest town in Tanzania. Bagamoyo is home to many ethnic groups, including the Wakwere, Wazaramo and Wazigua. Different cultures including people of Arab lineage coexist in Bagamoyo making the town a peaceful and friendly place for visitors from all over the world.The things you’ll see in this tour:
