Ujiji

About 10 km south of Kigoma, Ujiji is the oldes town in western Tanzania. Ujiji was a "slave trade" town settled by arabic peoples.

Ujiji is a place where Burton and Speke first reached the shore of Lake Tanganyika in 1858, and the place where Dr. Livingstone met Stanley in 1871. A monument known as "Dr. Livingstone Memorial" has been constructed to commemorate the meeting. There is a slave route near the market.

Ujiji james.willhoft@gte.net - September 27th, 2005
In 1967, an advertising agency in New York City began hiding cases of Canadian Club Whiskey throughout the world. To this day all but five have been found. Of the five that remain hidden, one of them is in Ujiji, 110 paces from where "...Stanley met Livingstone..." If anyone is interested in hearing more on this still undiscovered hidden treasure contact me at: james.willhoft@ Thanks, Jim W. read more » messages 1
