At the back the fish is fried in a haze of fire and smoke and ready for selling to the public.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20334 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20331 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20331 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20330
The resort is very professionally managed and keen to make visitors welcome. Activities organised by the resort - tours, diving, etc - seem very well organised and reasonably priced. There is a special path from the resort down to the beach. The restaurant is recommended, too.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20330 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20328 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20328 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20327 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20327 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20258 The hotel has a quiet, peaceful, friendly and very relaxing atmosphere for an affordable sunny holiday.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20258 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19943
Before our safari we visited the school that they sponsor, met the kids and saw their farm. The safari was a budget one, budget because we stayed in a local guest house rather than in expensive European ones and so the money was kept in the community, which was important to us. The vehicles were excellent and the guides knowledgable and friendly. We saw no other white faces!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19943 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19575 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19575 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18474 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18474 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18415

One of the finest beaches on Zanzibar, the best food I sampled and superlative nature trails in the mangrove forest and over best coral in east Africa. Relatively expensive but a must for any holiday, particularly a honeymoon.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17852 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17797
The atmosphere is friendly and the managers always managed to fulfil my requirements. I had a great time and superb dives. They have the only diving centre in the area.

I was surprised at the things I was able to do in Kilwa in one week - diving, visiting the Kilwa Ruins, see hippos a short boat ride from the lodge.

I flew in from Dar es Salaam, it was about one hour's flight and drove back to Dar es Salaam, four hours trip on a good road going through beautiful scenery and small traditional villages. It could have been possible to stop at the Selus Game Reserve on the way, but I left it for next time. Overall a wonderful experience.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17797 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17078 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17078 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16864 www.mafiaislandtz.com, get there quick before everyone else discovers it.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16864 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16651 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16651 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16272
It's got loads of big game such as lions and elephants and the lodge we stayed at was right on the beach.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16272
