TANZANIA - Southern Tanzinia, Kilwa, Selous Game Reserve, Dar Es Salaam, Zanzibar
Tanzania (pics from left to right
) - Neil exploring the border fillage of
Kilambo; Viv, with Helen's assistance, doing some first aid
on a couple of local lads; the old fort on Kilwa Kisiwani
.
(pics from left to right ) -
The island of Kilwa Kisiwani, off from Kilwa, was littered with
many historic and old ruins:
The remains of The Great Mosque; the small Domed Mosque; the
remains of what was once a Sultan's palatial palace.
(pics from left to right ) -
the road to the Selous Game Reserve was slow, with this old wooden
bridge to negotiate;
our camp at Mbega, just outside the Reserve, was right on
the river; a big baobab in the Reserve; a nice group
impala under a large acacia tree; there were lots of Maasai
Giraffe in the Reserve; Nyasa Wilderbeast.
\
Tanzania (pics from left to right ) -
The road to Dar was still very pot holed, muddy & rough from the
'wet' and it was a slow drive;
This log truck was going to be there for some time; there
are lots of people and fishing vessels in the bay around the port
of Dar;
Neil getting a haircut from Helen - it doesn't take long!
Zanzibar: (pics from left to right ) -
enjoying the sand bar on our sunset cruise out of Zanziba on a
local dhow; there was always plenty
of fish for sale around the fish market just down from our
guesthouse;
the constant flow of people and vessels at the Malindi port,
which could be seen from the top floor of our guesthouse.
Zanzibar: (pics from left to right ) -
We enjoyed the island Spice Tour, and even the efforts of our guide's
assiantants to make us
look really silly; Neil & Ron - Kings of the Spice Tour; Viv
buying some of the spices available; our guide Ahmed with his assistants.
Zanzibar: (pics from left to right ) -
Master James, on the Spice Tour, showing us how the 'lipstick'
plant works;
The Anglican Cathedral on the site of the old slave market;
just a couple of the many magnicently carved wooden doors in old
Stone Town;
Stone Town is a myriad of alley ways.
(pics from left to right ) -
Neil in what was a slave chamber during the slave market time;
the foreshore along Stone Town has some
wonderful old buildings, some of which have been restored
(such as the old Dispensary building), many though in a bad state
of disrepair;
the old fort.
(pics from left to right ) -
the fishing village of Nungwi, on the northern end of the island
where a busy boat building industry
keeps many locals employed; those not building boats, fish;
or collect shells; there are lots of resorts at this end.
(pics from left to right ) -
we enjoyed eating in the outdoor food market in the old gardens;
just a sample of the many alleys to
explore in Stone Town.
