The South of Zanzibar is perfect for those seeking a relaxing time, but be warned it could be expensive. We went from $125 per person per night to a much better priced South African owned Kilima Kidogo … Credit to our 2 South African hosts, originally from George. We had a fantastic time, played some games and met the most wonderful people. Even posed for some ‘wedding’ type pics!
Jozani Natural Forest Reserve is located in the central east region of Zanzibar Island and home to the rare Red Colobus Monkey. The forest gives you a ‘Jurassic’ park feeling while the monkeys and turtles make you want to siesta with them.
On our way to the north side we picked up Martijn and Vibien (our new Holland friends) from Stone Town to join us. It is amazing how small the island is and yet the traffic can be a hectic from time to time. The northern beaches show the island holiday spirit in full swing …
You can easily spend quite a bit of time on this side of the island. You can snorkel, dive, wind surf, sail, fish, go pub crawling or just do some people watching. The beaches range from picture perfect white sands to rocky cliffs. You will hear friendly ‘Jumbo’ calls everywhere and the food is as always colourful and good.
Zanzibar has all the things to make for a lovely ‘quick’ and relaxing holiday.
‘Asante’ to Amour for all the advice and tours!
Fantastic variation. I do not know which description was the best. All absolutely wonderful. Gail says she only knew about spices now she knows a lot more. Jan was particularly interested in the tropical forest and the rare monkeys and tortoises. He would have visited the museum! The Anglican Church received all the slaves liberated by the Royal Navy from captured Arab dhows.
WOW!! What an amazing exerience!! The photo’s tell a story on its own!!
I hope you guys are keeping a diary on a daily basis as you will need it to compile a book on your experience!!
Have fun and enjoy, we are constantly looking out for updates!!
Nice pictures guys! Zanzibar is a strange but wonderful place.
In the north you sometime hear more Italian spoken than Swahili!
I remember the never-ending ‘roadblocks’ on all the routes. Painfully Africa.
Don’t you just love the fresh chapati you find in the streets of Stone Town made right there on the spot!
Beautiful photo’s.
Ai Stone Town brings back such good memories
You must enjoy and be safe
Thanks for the update, I was wondering where you were.
Cheers
Chapati is great! We had it with different curries, goats meat and honey so far. Found it in Malawi, Tanzania and now in Kenya.
Most people make it with flour, water, bit of oil and salt – then roll it out and grill in a pan (with a lot of oil!).
