Bagamoyo is known for the desecration of the human race that occurred many years ago in this Swahili Coast town due to the heinous slave trade. In spite of this unpleasant history, today, Bagamoyo is one of the most wondrous tourist destinations for practically any person who wishes to spend a vacation or just to relax for the weekend or any particular day

KAOLE RUINS

These include the remains of a mosque from the 13th century and gravestones estimated dating back from the 15th century. The mosque is one of the oldest in mainland Tanzania and one of the oldest in East Africa. Kaole was an important Arabic trading post long before Bagamoyo had assumed any significance.

THE FIRST POST OFFICE IN EAST AFRICA

La Renaissance is a more modern hotel, fashioned from the renovated post office building. The name Old Post Office literally refers to East Africa’s FIRST post office under German colonial rule (Deutsche OstAfrika). It has been called “La Renaissance” to signify the “rebirth” of the old post office into a new luxurious hotel.

As Bagamoyo was the capital of German East Africa, the Germans had built the German Boma which was during the colonial era the administrative offices. Today this house has been turned into a museum due to its long history. Near the German boma was the first German school that was built in 1897. Also near the German house is the German cemetery and also what used to be the Germans Hanging ground for those who revolted against the German occupation in Tanzania.
