The history of Kilwa Dreams

Kilwa dreams was established in 2005 and was built by its owners, Peter Juhl (Denmark) and Gladys Rutihinda (Tanzania) together with invaluable help from the locals.

Everything was done manually, a caravan of local women carried water through the bush, sometimes up to 4,000 litres a day. The stones were shaped and pressed on the spot and baked dry by the sun.

15 tons of steel reinforcements were sawed using 25 Chinese hacksaws. More than 30 hammers were used, 36 spades and shovels and an awful lot of energy.
