Kilwa Kisiwani & Songo Mnara

After breakfast with a picnic lunch, you will drive to Kilwa Kisiwani. It is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site due to its influence on the birth of Swahili culture. What is now a fishing village was, a thousand years ago, occupied by Arabs. They minted gold and sold spices, Jewelry, and slaves whilst holding licentious parties under the light of the moon, and made the island state of Kilwa Kisiwani and Songo Mnara. A neighboring small island close to Kisiwani was a Swahili stone town, which was 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. During the evening, you will drive back to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
