I am travelling by myself and I was wondering if anyone has been before and has any hits/tips/recommendations?? | Thanks very much! “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” - St. Augustine AlecP Alec Pattinson Post Count: 1 Msg: #2 176 days ago, January 30th 2008 | Hi, you will have an amazing time! Though just a word of warning, I met a couple of girls while I was on the island and they had been mugged because they had decided to take a walk along the beach near stone town at night. It's easy to get lazy and stop taking precautions etc, especially after being in country for a while, but I would never recommend doing what they did! | On a lighter note, I had no problems at all, and loved the place, if you get a chance to go across to the east coast and Vist Paje and Bweju (can't remember the exact spellings!) but its was deserted over there, and absolutey picture card perfect! All the best! Alec katiem Katie May Post Count: 2 Msg: #3 176 days ago, January 30th 2008 | Hi Alec, | Thank you for the advice! Paje and Bweju sounds lovely - going to be on the island for a while so making a list of planned destinations! Thanks again, Kate Andythevet Andy Hart Post Count: 5 Msg: #4 137 days ago, March 9th 2008 | If you get a chance head for inland Tanzania to see a whole different area. Don't go up north, you will be treted like a mass market tourist, head to the unspoilt south. take the bus to Iringa and have a break there. Stay at the riverside campsite out of town or bankers academy guest house in town for a cheap but comfortable and clean place. visit neemacrafts (www.neemacrafts.com) come and help on our physiotherapy programme for a bit, we'd love to have you.
