Bagamoyo Hotels
For those of you who don’t know, Bagamoyo is a small beachside town of historical importance located about a 2-hour drive north of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania’s largest (though not capital) city.
Being a small town, Bagamoyo does not have a big selection of hotels, but there is something for everyone—from personable, beachside cottages to standard big hotels.
If you are planning a trip to Bagamoyo and are looking for a place to stay, the first thing I recommend is searching online on hotel booking platforms like Booking.com to see the full range of what is on offer and, more importantly, what will be available on your intended travel dates.
And now, here are some more recommendations for where to stay when you are next visiting Bagamoyo.
