the centre of the adjacent colonial town of Bagamoyo, at 70
Km North of Dar Es Salaam, just opposite Zanzibar Island.In
this exclusive area, still unknown to tourism, there exist
other low level hotel structures. The Livingstone Club is,
at the moment, the only resort on the Tanzanian coastable
to satisfy the demanding taste of guests accustomed to European
good standard ccommodations.Bagamoyo area is not equipped
for night-life, anyway all the sports activities, entertainment,
folk shows are Proposed by the Club. A holiday At Bagamoyo
is highly suitable for people fond of nature and of authentic
Africa not yet influenced by progress and mass tourism. It
offers the charming tmosphere of small open air markets, tropical
fragrances and the traces of a past tormented by the slave
trade and the dominions of various civilisations, which is
so incisive that we still perceive its magic
