4 – 6 November 2011
- Casa del Mar Hotel
Our second stop on the East Coast was slightly further south at the village of Jambiani.
- Outside our chalet
- Perfect book reading spot
The best thing about this lodge was that it had a stunning swimming pool which meant we could swim any time of day or night, even when the low tide meant the sea had retreated over 1km! The tides changes are quite amazing in Zanzibar!
- The place we spent a lot of time…
We spent one afternoon on a dhow with two locals who took us to a nearby reef for some snorkelling followed by a cruise which was, well, awesome. It was a much less energy intense than our Paje snorkelling trip whereby we walked out to the breakers (1.5km or so of knee-deep water!) where the nearest reef was, snorkelled and then had to swim the while way back to shore because the tide had started to come in…
- Snorkeling and cruising
If you feel the need for a bit of a break from reality in a place that will take your mind of the troubles of life, then the Zanzibari East Coast should be your first stop. This has definitely been a highlight of the trip so far!
- Beautiful dhows
- So many pretty flowers
