Drop-off at Respective Hotels:
- Slave Caves - The Shimoni Slave Caves, located near Shimoni village in Kenya, are historically significant as a somber reminder of the East African slave trade era. Here’s a description:
History: The caves served as holding chambers for enslaved Africans before they were transported across the Indian Ocean during the 18th and 19th centuries.
Structure: The caves consist of interconnected chambers and passages carved into the coral rock. They are narrow, dark, and naturally cool, making them suitable for holding large numbers of captives awaiting shipment.
Purpose: Captives, primarily from the interior of East Africa, were held here in dire conditions before being transported to slave markets in Zanzibar and beyond.
Guided Tours: Today, visitors can explore the caves on guided tours led by local guides who explain the history and significance of the site.
