Top Attractions in Bayamoyo Town Tanzania

Holy Ghost Catholic Mission Museum

About 2km north of town and reached via a long mango-shaded avenue is the Holy Ghost Catholic Mission, with its excellent museum – one of Bagamoyo’s highlights and an essential stop. In the same compound is the chapel where Livingstone’s body was laid before being taken to Zanzibar Town en route to Westminster Abbey.

Bagamoyo Living Art & Handicraft Design Centre

The Bagamoyo Living Art & Handicraft Design Centre, just off the main Dar es Salaam road near the entrance to town and the post office, was established with Dutch funding about a decade ago to empower women by training them in business and handicraft design and production, giving them a means to earn their livelihood.

College of Arts

About 500m south of Bagamoyo along the road to Dar es Salaam is the College of Arts, a renowned theatre and arts college, home of the national dance company and one of the best measure’s of Tanzania’s artistic pulse. When school is in session there are occasional traditional dancing and drumming performances, and it’s possible to arrange drumming or dancing lessons.

Kaole Ruins

Just south of Bagamoyo time slides several centuries further into the past at the Kaole ruins. At its centre are the remains of a 13th-century mosque, which is one of the oldest in mainland Tanzania and also one of the oldest in East Africa. It was built in the days when the Sultan of Kilwa held sway over coastal trade, and long before Bagamoyo had assumed any significance.

Bagamoyo Town

With its cobwebbed portals, crumbling German-era colonial buildings and small alleyways where the sounds of children playing echo together with the footsteps of history, Mji Mkongwe (Stone Town) as it's known locally, is well worth a leisurely stroll
