For me fall is the loveliest time of the year. The vibrant colors that surrounds us by nature is so delightful in itself. Especially living in the NW it adds brightness to gloomy gray and rainy days. Palettes yellow to the brightest orange to red in all shades. Some of the most delicious treats &…

Nungwi nights; toes in the sand, sensational sunsets & delightful fresh grilling
Venturing around with husband we discovered a small quaint restaurant on the beach. It has a new daily menu depending on all the fresh catches that day. Finally a properly blended drink; slushy & strong! Along with viewing all the fresh catches… He would even share what time they were caught that day. The grill…
Spice Plantation
As the middle of Zanzibar has a very tropical jungle feel it only makes since this is where most of the plantations can be found. Jerry our guide was a teenage boy. He was very detailed and really knows a lot about fruits and the spices they grow. From three different kind of mango’s to…
The Rock Restaurant -Zanzibar
As we enjoyed our adventures through Stone Town & Prison Island…we asked our driver if he would be open the following day to go to The Rock Restaurant. Knowing it is 2 hours away and I had asked the hotel the day we arrived how expensive it would be… (Lets just say out of our…
Prison Island, Stone Town & Local Market
Our driver to the north of the island was very kind & talkative. He gave us his friends contact info to venture out and see any sights. Cabs and tour groups are outrageous! We used him to visit Prison Island & Stone Town. We met up with his friend that took us by boat to…
Nungwi and it’s Raw Beauty
We had about a hour drive to the north of the Island of Zanzibar. We passed through many villages on our way. It seemed to be very different from what we imagined. We drove through a village that sits right outside the gates of our hotel. We had never experienced this in previous travels. The…
Chumbe and all it’s authentic perfections
Awe…the Eco huts with all the rustic touches. The endless amount of many colorful corals. From chartreuse to lavender and every rainbow in between. Textures from small to large. Ginormous clams know one would ever believe the size. Thank goodness Rob, my husband caught them with video on our snorkeling adventure. Coconut crabs are such…
In route to Chumbe Island!
As we landed from the Serengeti. About a 45 minute flight. The plane was full of turbulence and I uneasy about the flight. We had to wait a few hours (delayed) to catch the next one into Zanzibar. A very big highlight and made my day so bright is running into our new found friends…
Leaving Siad-Ready for Chumbe!
We were headed to the Serengeti Airstrip. It was about two hours from Western Serengeti. The drive was stunning and the migration continued their route. We were graced by nature throughout the journey. As we arrived Rob & I had mixed feelings; sad to leave Siad but ready to embark in new unknown adventures. I…
Western Serengeti in awe
After a night a very little sleep, well pretty much for me… We met up with Siad. He asked how everything was and we shared very interesting. He knew the place was not the greatest and made a call to get us changed into another place. Knowing we, especially my husband Rob wanted to experience…
Central Serengeti Hiccup
As we had a hiccup with our “tented camps” scheduled to stay at… Everything happens for a reason. We had just finished our Central Serengeti drive & started heading to the camp. Rain began to fall & the sky was turning darker. We arrived and it was nothing what we expected. We still went forward,…
Serengeti
As we left the lodge looking over the crater we were all ready to embark on the Serengeti. The dirt roads, non stop bumpy roads, twist & turns & the dust that we had almost become accustom to continued. Zebras are everywhere and nor were they lacking among the unknown land we kept venturing through….
