  • Bagamoyo Town the Conference Will Be Held at the Stella Maris Hotel in Bagamoyo
    Bagamoyo Town The conference will be held at the Stella Maris Hotel in Bagamoyo. Located north of Dar es Salaam (65 km) along the coast, Bagamoyo historically started as a coastal Swahili fishing village that grew to become pivotal during the Arab settlements on the coast of Tanzania in the 13th century and later the first German colonial capital during the European colonial settlement in East Africa in 1888 to 1891. Bagamoyo was a gateway during the Ivory and Slave trade where many unfortunate Africans from as far as Congo and Malawi were kept imprisoned before they were shipped to Zanzibar to be sold. As a trading town during the East African Slave Trade, Bagamoyo also known as “Bwaga-Moyo” literally translated as “Lay down your heart” or “Give up your Hope”, Bagamoyo attracted traders, missionaries, and colonial powers from the Persian Gulf (Shiraz), Mongoles, Asia, and Europe. “…Be happy, my soul, release all cares, for we soon reach the place you yearn for The town of palms, Bagamoyo! When you were far away, how my heart ached when I thought of you, you pearl You place of happiness, Bagamoyo! The women wear their hair parted; you can drink palm wine all year through In the gardens of love of Bagamoyo! The dhows arrive with streaming sails to take aboard the treasures of Europe In the harbor of Bagamoyo! Oh, such delight to hear the drums and the lovely girls swaying in dance All night through in Bagamoyo! Be quiet, my heart, all cares are gone. Let the drumbeats rejoice: We are reaching Bagamoyo!” Traditional Swahili porters’ song Today, this Swahili town with a population of about 35,000 inhabitants is a multicultural town and a capital for Bagamoyo District in Pwani Region.
