adjacent colonial town of Bagamoyo, at 70 Km North of Dar Es Salaam, just
opposite Zanzibar Island.In this exclusive area, still unknown to tourism,
there exist other low level hotel structures. The Livingstone Club is, at
the moment, the only resort on the Tanzanian coastable to satisfy the
demanding taste of guests accustomed to European good standard
ccommodations.Bagamoyo area is not equipped for night-life, anyway all the
sports activities, entertainment, folk shows are Proposed by the Club. A holiday
At Bagamoyo is highly suitable for people fond of nature and of authentic
Africa not yet influenced by progress and mass tourism. It offers the
charming tmosphere of small open air markets, tropical fragrances and the
traces of a past tormented by the slave trade and the dominions of various
civilisations, which is so incisive that we still perceive its magic…
