Experience Overview
Located 80 km north of Dar es Salaam on the Indian Ocean, Bagamoyo was once a pivotal trading port along the East African coast. It holds rich historical significance as a former hub of caravan trade and slave trading. Immerse yourself in a journey through its old town, adorned with ancient Arab, Portuguese, German, and British architectural marvels. Visit the region’s first Roman Catholic Church and the chapel where Livingstone’s remains rested before their journey to Westminster Abbey via Zanzibar Town.
Saadani National Park, nestled near the quaint village of Saadani, stands as Tanzania’s sole coastal national park. It safeguards unique coastal savannas, mangrove forests, and primary coastal woodlands along the Wami River, serving as vital breeding grounds for green turtles. The park hosts a diverse wildlife population, including waterbuck, buffalo, giraffe, warthogs, baboons, and colobus monkeys. Boat rides along the Wami River offer encounters with Nile crocodiles, hippos, kingfishers, and flamingos.
