The Bagamoyo Church was built in 1868 and considered to be the first church in the East Coast of Africa. A cemetery, where the early missionaries were buried and a small shrine which was built by freed slaves in 1876 are all seen. We are told that between 1934 and 1991, 35 Dutch priests worked here. The last of this long line of priests from the Netherlands was Father Frits Versteijnen who stayed in Bagamoyo for 30 years and started the first museum in the old Fathers’ House in March 1968.

The second Fathers’ House in Bagamoyo, constructed close to the Mother of all Churches in East Africa, has also fallen victim to the corrosive effects of the coast region’s relentlessly humid climate. Its ground floor was built in 1873, the first floor in 1877 and the second floor in 1903.

NILO NATURE RESERVE: CONSERVE UNIQUE ECOSYSTEM

Nilo Nature Reserve lies towards the more northerly end of the Arc, stretching over 62 km² of the East Usambara Mountains . It was established in 2007 to conserve the area’s unique ecosystem and protect its exceptional biodiversity for future generations. The reserve is a haven for almost 800species of plants, including eight African violet species, and 100 species of birds, such as the rare Banded green sunbird and the Red-capped forest warbler. If you are particularly lucky, you might even spot an Angolan pied colobus, an Usambara three-horned chameleon, or a Zanj elephant shrew. Traditionally, the forests have been an important source of firewood and food for local people. The reserve continues to play a critical role in rain catchment and reducing the effects of climate change.
