Zanzibar Archipelago Bed and Breakfasts Reviews and Rates

Turtles & dhows & slave chambers & fish market

Anoth er day of no diving but I think the ear is getting better. I am choosing to believe that anyway so that we can dive tomorrow. So need to find things to do today. We looked at one of the ubiquitous maps that Memories of Zanzibar gives to all the hotels to pass out to tourists. It looks like there are some …

Back to Stone Town

We spent the day with Matt & Cathy followed by a night out and a sad goodbye as they set off to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.

We spend the first few days in Stone Town soaking up the atmosphere, having sundowners on rooftop terraces, getting lost in the labyrinthine streets and …

It's not very nice from the outside, inside it's like a typical gothic-revival city church. The church: The church was built by the …
