where you will learn more about the Swahili people and the Arab history
In the 10th century, Arabs were slave traders and they used to intermarry with the Bantus at
the coast, and there we had the Swahili people. After the end of the slave trade in the 17th
century, many Africans settled here and so don’t miss the opportunity to learn about the
Swahili people. Arrive at the jet at around 4.00 pm and drive back to the hotel.
