Bagamoyo, Tanzania

Livingstone Tower, Holy Ghost Mission, Bagamoyo, Tanzania

Bagamoyo was once the terminus of the entire Central-East African slave trade, here the captured and imprisoned would spend their final night on the African mainland before trans-shipment to Zanzibar and Arabia. Today, most outsiders come to Bagamoyo to see the last resting place of the man instrumental to the ending of this evil trade. Here in this tower, David Livingstone’s body spent its final night in Africa, having been carried a thousand miles through the interior (from Zambia, where he died of malaria) by his loyal attendants Chuma and Susi.
