Episode ten - the prosperity, peoples and trade routes of the east African coast.

How an immense network of international trade was established along the east coast of Africa, long before the arrival of Europeans.

"If you go to Kilwa or Mombassa these were purely African settlements, African towns, run by the Africans, who were trading with the Arabs and other nationalities, but they controlled the trade, they were the merchants." George Abungu, National Museums of Kenya.

Presented by Hugh Quarshie.
