Day 4

Songo mnara

Songo mnara

After breakfast, drive with your picnic lunch to Kilwa Kisiwani. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its influence on the birth of the Swahili culture. What is now a fishing village, was occupied by Arabs a thousand years ago. They minted gold and sold spices, jewellery, and slaves, whilst holding licentious parties under the light of the moon and made the island state of Kilwa Kisiwani.

Songo Mnara, a neighboring small island close to Kisiwani, was a Swahili stone town inaugurated in the early 19th century. Its comparatively short history (compared to its more illustrious neighbor of Kilwa Kisiwani) has allowed archaeologists to examine early Swahili houses within a specific time period. During the evening, drive back to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
