On our flight to Zanzibar, we got our one and only chance to see any part of Mt. Kilimanjaro: one little horizontal strip was visible between layers of clouds. The skies over the coast were clear enough for us to see reefs in the cool blue ocean as we passed over. Nathan was able to snap a few shots, as the pilot did not seemed overly concerned about when we used our "approved electronic devices." An REI rep had met us at the Arusha airport to explain that our hotels on Zanzibar had changed f...

Our last day on Zanzibar was the last opportunity for our local guide to be late, and he did not disappoint! He was supposed to be at the hotel at 11:00am so that Judy and Knox would have plenty of time to get to Zanzibar Town for their 1:00pm departure to Dar es Salaam. By the time 11:15 came and went, Knox was pretty agitated. The hotel owner called our guide's boss and eventually got our guide on his cell phone. Knox spent several minutes explaining to the guide exactly what he thought abo...

Day 9 Feb 23 In the morning we met two Russians from Siberia who were staying at our hotel. Looks like they successfully sold some timber or some other natural resource, and decided to explore Africa, not being limited by the budget. Compared to us, they didn't have any specific plans and were just taking different transports to travel from Uganda to Kenya to Tanzania. Their driver managed to hit a pedestrian, so they all ended up in the local police station, but after a bribe continued their...

... from. Many of the plants we were not able to recognize at first, but as Jimmy (the Irish bloke on our tour) says "every day is a school day".
The guys at the spice plantation also let us try some of the spiced tea and some of the fresh fruits. One of the guys even climbed a super tall tree to get us a couple of fresh coconuts.
... The next day was a marathon trek, as our group made its way 710km to Tanzania's economic capital Dar Es Salaam. T
he smells of the ocean and city hit me immediately, and the chaotic streets of the coastal town reminded me of New York.
I have made my way by ferry to the island of Zanzibar and stayed in the old city of Stone Town for one night. Stone Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, whose architecture and history spring from a fusion of ...
... beach here at Matemwe is truly idyllic and is said to have some of the finest sand on Zanzibar. Picture a palm lined beach that stretches for miles in either direction, turquoise, shallow water contained by a reef about 600 meters off shore, and white white fine sand. The water temperature is warmer than anywhere we have ever experienced. It is bath water warm, sometimes as warm as our hot tub (103 degrees). This is in part as a result of the tides as ...

... showed us spices. Hunter was impressed by his skill of making frog necklaces, rings, watches, handbags, etc out of banana leaves. Next we headed to a remote beach where slaves were kept in caves at the end of the slave trade. We then drove to ...

... any boutiques or retail stores that sell clothing. Negotiations were straight forward. I knew the local price for a T-shirt was 2000 TSH. SO I told the guy I would give him 1000 TSH above the local price. He hesitated at first but then gave in. I don't mind paying a bit more than the locals. I can afford it. Besides, the vendors expect the muzungus to pay a bit more and wouldn't sell it to you at the local prices. At night time, I went to the popular food market. There you can find ...

Left the oasis of Lake Malawi, and also some of its sad stories - on my 4th day in Malawi I walked along the shores hoping to do some reflecting on life, but of course was quickly accompanied by a local! Surprisingly, he wasn't trying to sell me anything! So I had a chat to the 13 year old boy called ******* who had an impressive grasp of geography (knowing Australia and NZ cities and capitals) and wanted to be a mechanic. He was also an orphan from Tanzania ...
