A faded coastal town north of Dar es Salaam that was once the mainland terminus of the caravan and slave trade routes and briefly the capital of German East Africa. Crumbling colonial buildings, the old fort, and the 13th-century Kaole ruins nearby record layers of Swahili, Arab, and European history.

Where next?

The world is wide open.
