Fodor's Expert Review Swahili House Museum

This beautifully restored 18th-century Swahili merchant's house has original period furniture, and is a great depiction of a traditional Swahili house, and gives insight into how people lived back then. Notice the traditional beds with woven bases of rope, and the finely carved Kalinda screen in the main room. There's a garden full of flowering tropical shrubs and trees and the original well.
