Episode 3 of 11

In this third episode Zeinab Badawi starts with a visit to some of the most sensational historic sites in Africa: the Swahili coastal settlements of Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique.

This is the second series of the History of Africa with Zeinab Badawi. A series based on a unique project, overseen by UNESCO known as the GHA: the General History of Africa - Africa's history, culture and heritage told by Africans themselves. Zeinab Badawi visits many countries in west, east, central and southern Africa, capturing key chapters in Africa's history, from the 8th to the 20th century. It is a series of programmes that cast an important light on how the past can inform and affect the present experiences of all people of African descent - wherever they may live.
