Bagamoyo Lodges / Hotels
In recent years many new beach hotels have been built in Bagamoyo. Most of the new and good hotels with international standards can be found at the northern and the southern end of town, in a row directly at the beach. The newly built ones reach as far as the northern mangrove woods of Bagamoyo, thus endangering these ecologically important woods.
