Museum, in a slavers' residence, retracing the dark hours of slavery in Bagamoyo.

Built in 1860 by a wealthy Arab merchant, the Caravan Serail marked the end of the long journey of slaves captured around Lake Tanganyika, after a six-month march. This building was the residence of the slave traders, their slaves being parked around the walls before being sold on the waterfront, where the current fish market is located.
