    The German and their Boma! Bagamoyo Old Boma was built and used by the German as their state house and leader’s residence at the end of 19th Century before being moved to Dar es Salaam. The same building was used by British as offices after World War One when the Germans lost the war. After Independence it was under the Government of Tanzania before turned into a historical building.. These buildings are historic. They need to be renovated.

    Nice building. Abandoned but interesting architecture. It’s mandatory to pay at the office (10.000 tzs)and if you don’t know it you may think someone is trying to fool you. Be careful at night as it may not be the safest place to hang. Some guides offer us a complete bagamoyo tour for 20000/ person. Nice places to eat nearby

    This is an important place to understand how the region was shaped politically after the Berlin conference. Maybe. The Germans who came here today can be proud or it can be a nice reminder to understand their history. Especially listen to the story of the safe inside. It is forbidden to shoot or enter without a ticket.

    I had an amazing experience visiting Bagamoyo town, it was nice tour to areas such as this Old German Boma and other places. In addition, roasted fish gave me quite different experience I and my team really enjoyed staying at Bagamoyo. Finally, Bagamoyo is reach in history of both religious and non religious sites. Visiting Bagamoyo is taking life more than 150 years back now. 👌👌
