Zanzibar City Travel Blogs

Background: Shortly after independence, Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged to form the nation of Tanzania in 1964. One-party rule came to an end in 1995 with the first democratic elections held in the country since the 1970s. Zanzibar's semi-autonomous status and popular opposition have led to two contentious elections since 1995, which the ruling party won despite international observers' claims of voting irregularities.

Ongeveer 1,5 maand geleden hebben Sil en Bil erg impulsief besloten om een reis naar Zanzibar te boeken. Weinig plannen werden gemaakt en nog minder voorbereidingen. Ongeveer een week voor vertrek werd toch maar besloten iets te gaan doen. Langzaamaan werden wat kleren uit de kast getrokken, wat mailtjes verstuurd, wat geleerd voor tentamens. Maar dan nu, morgen, is het toch zover. Sil en Bil gaan op safari. We hebben een mega lange reis voor de boeg, we zullen om 6uur wegvliegen van Amsterdam naar Parijs, hier wacht ons een heerlijke nacht op het vliegveld. De volgende ochtend [View Full Entry]

In the heat of the day, it feels as though my skin is melting off of my body. But I'm not complaining, I know that soon enough I'll be back in NYC shivering, wishing for a good sweat. I'm spending a few days in Stonetown before I head north for some beach time. I arrived here yesterday, exhausted after my early morning balloon ride, rising up with the sun over the Serengeti. (It was spectacular!!) I had a nice rooftop dinner under the stars at my hotel lastnight, and then went to bed nice and early. While I was eating (yummy [View Full Entry]

Hello all, We arrived safe in Tanzania yesterday and got the ferry over to Zanzibar this morning. It's hard to describe how tired we are after the 4.30am start this morning, 8 hour flight to Doha, 1 hour transfer and the 5 and a half hour flight from Doha to Dar Es Salaam. We slept very little on the plane because Qatar airline was fantastic and provided around 1000 entertainment options, FREE alcohol (as much as we wanted throughout the flight), films, music, games and TV options as well as regular meals which were really tasty but kept waking us up.

I can’t believe that I started climbing the mountain almost 3 weeks ago! Things started out great. I met 2 of my team mates in the Amsterdam Airport and immediately we hit it off. Don from Cornwall Ontario is everything you would expect from a Construction Working, French Canadian Nurse. He had tons of energy and was always in good spirits. Michael James became like a little brother - he established the sibling relationship right off the bat! We were the young ones and made it our role to be the entertainment. After landing in Arusha we met the other 4 [View Full Entry]

Lahdin varhain sunnuntaiaamuna bussilla kohti Dar Es Salaamia. Mayalla vei minut bussipysakille ja saattoi oikeaan bussiin. Bussi meni Shingidan, Dodoman ja Morogoron kautta. Bussimatka kesti vahan yli 15 tuntia... Lonely Planet ei suositellut tuota reittia, mutta suurelta osin tie oli ihan hyva kuntoinen eika bussin kyydissa tarvinnut pelata. Mayalan serkku oli vastassa Dar Es Salaamissa. Olin aivan vasynyt kahden lyhyen yon jalkeen... Valitettavasti epailyni Safari Innin varauksen suhteen osoittautuivat oikeiksi... Varausta ei ollut. Kuudennesta paikasta loytyi majoitus, ihan ok, tosin paika [View Full Entry]

Day 9 - Zanzibar - Stone Town - 7/8/09 Woke up today by the sound of rain drops on the tents. Great! Got up, got dressed and took the tents down in the rain. We were on the truck by 0630, headed for Dar Es Salaam, we were chased all day by a really dark cloud. Eventually after 9 hours of driving we reached Dar. Moses gave us 2 hours to wonder round Dar. I went off with Duncan and Cat; we simply decided to have a beer. We stumbled on The Kilimanjaro hotel so we went inside and had 2 [View Full Entry]

Hey Guys, So we've departed Malawi and have promised ourselves to come back since we both enjoyed it so much, the people as well as the lake. Our travel plans were going to be a full day overland trip from Malawi to Mbeya, Tanzania via any vehicle with wheels possible! Once in Mbeya we met up with Allan our friend from Malawi and got ourselves a second class cabin on the Tazara Train to Dar es Salaam. We ended up meeting up with Allan's friend Lonnie and she joined us in our cabin since we had extra space. We were pretty [View Full Entry]

Hello! I know I said I'd write more often but I feel like I've been dead busy. Looking back on it though, haven't really done much! I guess I'm just lazy! Last Last Thursday we went to Prison Island. Its called Prison sland because the Zanzibarians started to build a prison there. When it was finished, however, there was a massive outbreak of cholera on the mainland so the building was used as a quarantine facility for people showing symptoms coming across to the islands. Now the building is a very expensive restaurant but the island is also home to a [View Full Entry]
