Ruins of Kilwa Kisiwani and Ruins of Songo Mnara ???????? Tanzania
The remains of the two large East African ports, Kilwa Kisiwani and Songo Mnara, are located on two small islands near the coast. From the 13th to the 16th century, the Kilwa merchants traded gold, silver, pearls, perfumes, Arab crockery, Persian terracotta and Chinese porcelain; so much of the Indian Ocean trade passed into their hands.

Conservation Project - Kilwa, Tanzania
The island of Kilwa Kisiwani is located in a large bay on the coast of southern Tanzania, a six-hour drive from the capital, Dar es Salaam. Reachable only by boat from the small mainland town of Kilwa Masoko, the island is home to extensive ruins dating from three different periods of occupation. The earliest standing ruins are from the eleventh century, when the first Sultanate was established at Kilwa by a Persian prince. Two important structures dating from this era still stand. The first is the Great Mosque, which was built in the fourteenth century and was once the largest mosque in sub-Saharan Africa. The other is the palace at Husuni Kubwa, built between 1315 and 1330 and renowned for its spectacular pools and courtyards.

Kilwa Ruins Lodge Tanzania - Africa Travel Channel
Kilwa Ruins Lodge is the premiere lodge in the Kilwa region. This stunning seaside resort found a very special place in our hearts. The array of activites at this family oriented destination spoiled us for choice and the charm and grace of our hosts and staff left us with a warm sense of belonging. We were presented with a selection of air conditioned accommodation ranging from 6 bed luxury chalets right on the beach, to 2 bed bandas overlooking the ocean. Any inkling one has towards sport fishing would be more than indulged at Kilwa Ruins lodge and the other activities on offer, such as cruising the mangrove lined waterways in search of hippo and crocodile, or snorkeling in idyllic conditions at the sandbanks, ensures that one departs the lodge with a strong yearning to return. The World heritage site of the Kilwa Ruins is a humbling experience not to be missed. The harbour town of Kilwa Kisiwani was once the hub of East African trade encompassing slaves, gold and spices.

Kilwa Kisiwani - Civilization VI Wonder Spotlight
Kilwa Kisiwani is one of my favorite wonders in Civilization VI! It is a little bit less direct in its bonuses than some of the other wonders in the game, but it holds the power to give empire-wide yield bonuses. Few wonders can give such large bonuses, but the difficulty of becoming the suzerain of a number of city states helps balance it out.

Explore the Ruins of a Medieval East African Empire
Getting to the ruins of Kilwa Kisiwani in Tanzania, East Africa is no easy task. But the trek to the island is worth it; Kilwa Kisiwani (“isle of the fish”) was once one of the greatest cities of the Swahili culture. In the 10th century, it made its fortunes by trading the riches of the African interior: gold, ivory, timber, and other valuable treasures. Until the Portuguese showed up in the 16th century, Kilwa Kisiwani was a wealthy and powerful port.
Kilwa Kisiwani may be no more, but the standing ruins are spectacular. See the video for a glimpse of the stunning architecture left behind, including the Great Mosque, the oldest standing mosque on the East African coast. Learn more about the history of Kilwa Kisiwani here.
