Once an important port and trading post on the Indian Ocean, Kaole turned into ruins when the town was abandoned. What remains now are some fascinating ruins of two mosques and graves - and an old baobab tree.
It is thought that the first settlement here dates back to the 7th century by Muslim settlers. Later on, Shirazi traders from Persia arrived on this coast. After the Shirazi, others, including Omanis, Indians, Chinese, and Europeans, arrived as well, all leaving their traces. But it was nature that decided on the fate of Kaole: when the sea receded here, and the port of Kaole could no longer be used, nearby Bagamoyo was developed into a town of importance. It is assumed that houses were made of wood, as nothing remains other than the cemetery and mosques. The small museum at Kaole, basically a small house, contains some very interesting artefacts and information about the site and its history. Here, you can find old pictures, maps, and items found in the area, like Chinese pottery. When I walked back to the entrance to pick up my driver who had long before shown little interest in this historical place, a group of students was given a lecture under a big tree.
