This village is part of Sukuma Kingdom. Sukuma land comprised of 52 separate and independent kingdoms (chiefdoms) among which one of the smallest is this one. Kageye is one of the oldest historical sites in Tanzania. Kageye deserves a distinction of possessing a monument of the memory of those unfortunate and innocent victims of slave trade. At this very place is where they were enchained for the long and terrible journey to the cost of about 720 miles(1,200 kilometers) which separate Kageye and Bagamoyo. At this historical site is where you can find grave yards of Frederick Barker, an explorer who died of dysentery on April 23, 1875. Jonh Smith, a missionary, died on May 11, 1877, together with other black men buried at Kageye. Other famous explorers passed by Kageye, like Dr. Fisher, a German who passed there in December of 1885 on his way from Buganda; also Dr. Junker, a Russian of Jewish descent from St. Petersburg, who had been exploring in Sudan and Egypt. If you are interested in the real history of past traders, missionaries, and explorers, Kageye is the ideal site to visit.In the direction of Serengeti, you won’t dare to miss the cultural experience at Utamaduni camp.
