In this section of this post, I will tell you about a couple of other Bagamoyo restaurants that are often recommended to me but that I haven’t been to yet.

Firefly Lodge Bagamoyo

First on the list of Bagamoyo restaurants recommended by others is the restaurant at Firefly Boutique Lodge.

Firefly Boutique Lodge is currently all the  rage in Dar es Salaam, and it seems to be on everyone’s lips the minute you mention Bagamoyo.

I haven’t been there myself, but here‘s their menu in case you are wondering what kind of food they serve.

Not far from Firefly Boutique Lodge, is Poa Poa Restaurant one of the highest ranked Bagamoyo restaurants on Tripadvisor.

What do people love about Poa Poa Restaurant?

Well, although it is not located on the beach, it’s said to have a beautiful garden setting.

Reviewers also often mention the good food, including their chapati wraps, as well as the good value-for-money prices.

Local Guide Program

The Local Guides program is a Google crowdsourcing program which allows Google users to share information with others about the world around them.

Local Guides is a global community of explorers who write reviews, share photos, answer questions, add or edit places, and check facts on Google Maps.

Millions of people rely on contributions from Local Guides to decide where to go and what to do.

These guides are then given certified levels to reflect how much they have contributed to the Local Guides program.

I, myself, am currently a Level 7 local guide.

Magic Hour Bar and Restaurant Nakuru

Magic Hour Bar and Restaurant is located in Milimani, Nakuru near the Sarova Woodlands Hotel.

It is known for its particularly good Indian cuisine though it does also serve continental food.

The bar is known for its good ambiance and particularly good cocktails.

The Kaole Ruins

Six kilometers south of Bagamoyo, i.e., before Bagamoyo if you are coming from Dar es Salaam, lie medieval ruins dating from the 13th to 16th century.

The ruins are of a muslim Shirazi settlement called Pumbuji though they are now known as the Kaole Ruins.

The Shirazis were settlers from the city of Shiraz in present-day Iran.

Kaole, meaning “go and see” in the local language of the area, reflects the awe and wonder that locals in this area felt towards the buildings left behind by the Shirazis.

The Kaole Ruins are my favorite historical site in Bagamoyo, not only because they are much older than many historical sites I’ve had the pleasure of seeing in Africa, but also because the guides there are well versed in the stories of ancient Pumbuji and do a good job of bringing the Kaole Ruins to life.

I won’t tell you much more about what there is to see and do at the Kaole Ruins so as not to spoil it for you if ever you visit.

For now I’d like to leave you with some pictures taken at the Kaole Ruins.

Enjoy!

At the old medieval Shirazi settlement of Pumbuji, now known as the Kaole Ruins, outside Bagamoyo, Tanzania (about an hour and a half drive outside Dar es Salaam), the tombs of important people were marked with tall masts like this. The taller the mast, the more important the person. I guess this person was pretty important! 🙂
This well, known as “the well that never dries up nor overflows”, is located outside the ruins of a 13th century mosque (the well was used for ablutions) at the Kaole Ruins outside Bagamoyo, Tanzania. Despite it’s proximity to the Indian Ocean (about a 5 min walk away) the water at this well is fresh water and is said to cure all sicknesses.
