In addition to our cultural experiences on Zanzibar we decided to relax on some of its pristine beaches as well. From Stone Town we travelled the one hour trip to secluded Nungwi, on the northern tip of the island, for its renowned white beaches and crystal clear water.
Just a couple of relaxing shots from the beach :)
Surprisingly Zanzibar only has a few worthwhile beaches due to tides.
Nungwi is among the most well-known.
A short five minute walk brought us to the town center which turns out to be not much at all consisting of just one supermarket and couple of small shops.
Some seascapes with Zanzibarian Dhows the local ship. The ship has a mast but the boom is on top of the sail rather than on the bottom. Regardless, they are still really elegant even though the actual ship looks like its made from driftwood.
The oceanview restaurant we chose for our easter night dinner.
A couple of very manly drinks to suit the occasion while we watched the sunset over the ocean.
Unbeknownst to me, before arriving, Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen, was born on Zanzibar. There is a wonderful restaurant located in Stone town in his name. The food is delicious and the view as always is amazing and it was definitely a must see location on our trip.
We decided to go there for dinner on our last night in town. The fajitas turned out to be stellar. . . who knew I would find delicious fajitas in Africa.
The next morning we took the first ferry out in order to make our connection in Dar es Salaam and watched the sunrise over Zanzibar as we ferried away. A trip well spent.
Baby you look so adorable in all of these pics - I love how you are wearing african clothes : ) so cuties. are the tides really rough around zanzibar? their sails are beautiful it reminds me of sail boats wed see in china. the beaches are so serene and the drinks look delicious. True paradise, baby!!
