Hotels Near Shimoni Slave Caves, Shimoni

Address Shimoni, Kenya

Shimoni Slave Caves are a historical site located in the coastal town of Shimoni. These caves were used as a holding area for slaves during the 18th and 19th centuries. The caves are a testament to the brutal slave trade that took place in East Africa during that time.

The Shimoni Slave Caves are a series of interconnected underground chambers that were carved out of coral rock. The caves are dark and cramped, with low ceilings and narrow passageways. They were designed to hold large numbers of slaves, who were kept in chains and forced to live in squalid conditions.

The caves were used as a transit point for slaves who were being transported from the interior of East Africa to the coast. They were held in the caves until they could be loaded onto ships and taken to other parts of the world. Many slaves died in the caves due to disease, starvation, and mistreatment.

Today, the Shimoni Slave Caves are a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can explore the caves and learn about the history of the slave trade in East Africa. The caves are a sobering reminder of the atrocities that were committed during this dark period in human history.
