LIVINGSTONE'S TEMBE
Go there and contact
Public museum displaying Livingstone's journals, photographs and personal writings.
It was in this tembe (" house" in Arabic) that the British explorer David Livingstone stayed in Tabora in 1872. He waited there, tired, for 200 days, for the mission of explorers who came from London to help him discover the region. The house, typical of the Arab constructions of the time, belonged to the slave trader Tippu Tip. Kwihara was a major centre of the slave trade and a resting place for caravans. Now transformed into a public museum, it exhibits newspapers and photos from the period and Livingstone's personal writings.
