Beautiful beaches nice food aloof people

According to Tim Kamuzu (2007) recent visit to Zanzibar he says: “that traveling to Zanzibar from Kenya has been made fairly easy by the number of flights that operate from Nairobi to the Island. There are also a number of charter flights to Dar-es-Salaam, from where you can get a connection to Zanzibar”.

However, it is almost unthinkable not to use the Dar-Zanzibar ferry services that take two hours, but that is not the big deal. Enjoying the Indian Ocean view from the top deck of a ferry as it ploughs through the Indian Ocean., is un-missable Tour operators will tell you that the national languages in Zanzibar are English and Kiswahili, but Zanzibaris believe that English is foreign and stick to their Kiswahili.

However, it was obvious that they found Tim’s brash upcountry Kenya Kiswahili offensive. Nipe maziwa (Give me some milk) might work in Nairobi but is considered rude in Zanzibar, where they plead for services. “Naomba kuagiza maziwa” (I beg to order for milk) is the acceptable phraseology.

The island boasts good roads, perhaps because there is little traffic. The stone Town section which is the biggest urban center, has more Mosques than shopping centers. There are two cathedrals. Some of the Islands centuries-old buildings are almost falling apart but the Tanzanian government is doing a good job restoring the masterpieces. A remarkable feature is the Zanzibar In, Which stands out in Stone Town.

Visiting Zanzibar and sampling the beaches could be likened to visiting Egypt and ignoring the pyramids. If a good night out is what your are looking for Zanzibar might not be the place for you. It is difficult to find a single place open selling beer.

Tim recommends the floating Dhow Restaurant at the Stone Town harbors where one get delicious Pilau.
