Zanzibar - Spice Island
Zanzibar - Spice Island and tropical paradise! It is SO beautiful here, we arrived on Zanzibar at 6/7pm last night after getting the 'express' ferry from Dar Es Salaam which was supposed to take 1 1/2 hours but took nearer 3! It was an unhappy ride, ...
Jambiani
Well here we are safe and sound in East Africa. Wow what a place!! I don't even know what to write yet...its still registering in my mind. We've been here three days now, and what i have to say is the people are amazing. They think were celebrities ...
Zanzibar - Kendwa
Just a quick entry - we have been enjoying true zanzibar style today. We went on a boat trip in a traditional dhow up to Mnemba island on the NE coast of Zanzibar. The sea is turquoise/ azur blue and sparkly! The sand is so soft and white! We went ...
In the land of jellyfish
... a big mishmash of all different styles, but it kind of looks like it is straight out of 1001 Nights. After our wanderabout, we took a cab to Jambiani, on the east side of the island. We saw an ad for a guest house when we were having dinner in Dar, so we ...
Zanzibar Part 1
... us and saying that we owed him money ... You can imagine the kind of response that he got to that! On Thursday we left Jambiani beach to return to Stone town - Lindsey and Megan were leaving on Friday. You'll be pleased to know that our adventures ...
'Arabian niiiiiiiiightss...'
... , much like the Red sea but it was a nice trip out, although we all got burnt even with out factor 50+ suncream! The sea around Jambiani was very shallow and very warm- much like a bath & very relaxing. You had to walk out miles for it to get any ...
Stonetown Zanzibar - Touts = ticks
... blocks that we passed waved us on!! Anyway, Zanzibar is a beautiful island - the people are not so friendly though as mainland Tanzania and can be quite grating. However I am learning more Swahili now and it seems to deal with them more quickly! The ...
Enjoying Paradise Island - Jambiani
... next 4 days relaxing at. And that's exactly what we did. We have spent the last 4 days walking around the little village of Jambiani, swimming in the turquiose water of the Indian Ocean as well as hotel pools along the coast, laying in the sun, enjoying a ...
Still Kicken er
Wow I am soaked, I just walked about 3 kilometres in a tropical storm to get to the computer. What the hell was i thinking. I love the rain here, its so warm and it falls pretty hard. I guess if i lived in Van i would hate the rain, but i love it ...
In Paradise
Kichanga Lodge has many similarities to La Vita E Bella in Tulum. Romantic bungalows along an expansive white sand beach sprinkled with coconut palms. The water colour is brilliant turquoise with a large reef offshore with breaking white ...
(Almost) Untouched Beach Paradise
Jambiani was gorgeous. White sand. Aquamarine waves. Blotches of dark green seaweed. Tourism still seems to be in its infancy, there. The half-dozen beachfront hotels, including our beautiful Blue Oyster Hotel, exist ...
A Little More Africa
... , but that is not so. Dodoma is actually the capital though tourists rarely if ever go there. In both Kenya and Tanzania whenever someone learned that Ben and I were from the U.S., Obama always became the topic of conversation. In Kenya ...
Jambiani (Zanzibar)
... is een raar gevoel, omdat ze zolang in Tanzania zijn geweest, deze afsluiting op Zanzibar geeft een goed gevoel. Machteld heeft in Tanzania goed leren slapen in openbaar vervoer en in die zin verheugt ze zich op volgende week 9 uur in het vliegtuig zitten ...
vacation at the ocean beach
... Thursday to Dar and then by boat to Zanzibar. First night at Stonetown. It is a more Arabic place than Tanzania. Sunday to the south east of the Island to Jambiani. They have the lower room of a cottage near the beach. It is a beach with rocks and ...
Snorkelling, Seasickness, and Shooting Stars
I didn't sleep well during the night for a variety of reasons - mosquitoes buzzing just outside of my protective netting, and the fact that I was terribly congested. I thought I was snoring so I kept waking up in an effort to not disturb Mary. PLUS I was ...
Jambiani
... a local gin). He came to ask if he could borrow some money, we passed, but what a funny life he must lead. In Jambiani we spent 3 very relaxing days enjoying the beach, and catching up with an American couple we had traveled with in Ethiopia. Whilst ...
Paradise, Day 3
Jan 11 Get up, have breakfast, dress in something modest as heading into very Muslim Stone Town this morning. It's all very confusing, my guide doesn't speak very clear English, he keeps turning around because someone phoned him, then Kathryn decides ...
Fun things in Zanzibar
We did lots of fun things in Zazabar, a guy climed up a palm tree to get some coconuts using twine. They came down like a big rock. You have to make a loop around your ankles shaped like a eight with twine to climb. .He even showed me how. ...
Paradise, last day
So far today, I've had breakfast, watched the dudes rake the beach and walked on the sandbar for a couple of hours. With the kids back in school, it's like having my own private beach to walk on. Collected more shells and probably extended my burn to ...
Working in Zanzibar for 1 month
... thanks to him. They had a balcony which over looked the beach and I managed to get some amazing sunrises. Whilst working in Jambiani I managed to interview an Italian lady for the job as our staff member. She would of been fine its just such an issue ...
Oh how I've missed the sea
Today is a bit of a jumble. Wake early so I can get some more wifi and charging time. Then at ten our driver takes us out of town to Entebbe airport, about an hour away. Once you get away from Kampala the roads improve. About ten minutes from airport ...
East Coast Zanzibar : Where is everybody?!
Had a relaxing three days on Zanzibar's east coast at a fishing village called Jambiani. The beach was really nice although a bit too much seaweed for my liking! Jambiani was a bit like a ghost town as we went during low season, think we saw ...
Paradise, Day 2
Jan 10 So, again, get up and have breakfast. Snorkeling guy is picking me up here, so put on suit, sunscreen, tank and rolled up pants. He shows up an hour early, because of tides or something, so grab my bag and chase after him. But instead of ...
Paradise, Day 1
Jan 9 You know that guy, the one who sits in the park or at a party, playing one drum, thinking he's really interesting and cool? Dreads, white, most likely from a wealthy family? Yeah, that's every guy at this lodge. 20 years ago, I would have wasted ...
Off to Jambiani
... to the hotel in time to check out at 10:00. Our driver arrived promptly at 10:30 and we proceeded to set off for Jambiani. The drive took just over an hour or so. While en route, he stopped his car near the Jozani Forest, a national ...
Paradise - in a surprising way
We got picked-up at our hotel in Stone Town by the owner of our hotel in Jambiani, The White Sands Bungalows' hotel. There was Eddy smiling waiting for us at the arranged time. The drive took around 45min to 1hr. We drove through some little towns, some ...
Beautiful beach
... only guests staying at the bungalow, now there are maybe half a dozen. In all there are probably only a dozen tourists in Jambiani. There is no agenda and we spend our days deciding which direction of the beach we should walk! There are a few ...
Paradise Day 4
Jan 12 Feel distinctly un-energetic today. Go out for breakfast, sit longer and drink my coffee properly today. This continent is a problem for me, or at least my eating habits. I never finish a meal or a drink (unless that meal consists of cake, in ...
