Bagamoyo, beginning or the end?


I took this photo at Bagamoyo when we did our recent Swahili Coast Expedition. We have just visited the local fish market and bought some fresh supplies and were walking back to our camping site.
Bagamoyo have been a trading port for hundreds of years and also the gateway to East Africa for Victorian explorers like  BurtonSpekeStanley and Grant. Unfortunately it was also the place that Livingstone’s body left Africa to be shipped via Zanzibar back to England (more about Bagamoyo and our expedition in our blog coming soon!).
