Last week I finally visited Zanzibar for the first time. Zanzibar is an archipelago off the coast of Tanzania and home to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Stone Town. It’s a really popular destination for travelers from all over the world (except the United States, it seems). It’s kind of crazy that I had…

On Saturday we went on another safari. We woke up at 2:30am, left the house by 3, and made the 4-hour drive to Mikumi National Park. We had booked a safari truck and guide in advance. When we arrived, the guide showed up with a toyota SUV, similar to the one we were already in…

Upon arriving in Johannesburg, the first thing I did was rush straight to Lion Park. The place is about 45 minutes from the airport, and its main attraction is lion cub interaction. I got there at about 2pm, which seemed to be naptime for the adorable baby lions. I was a little bummed about this,…

As blogland and Pinterest are bursting with the news of Autumn’s arrival, Dar es Salaam is beginning to see its first signs of Spring.

I decided to take my own advice and take pictures of some of the signs and billboards here. They’re all quite interesting to me, especially after living in a place where billboards are illegal for so long (Hawaii). There are probably better ones I could snap pictures of, but I alway seem to miss them.…

The Village Museum is unlike any museum I have ever visited. It is entirely outdoors, and it consists of about 20 different huts, representing traditional housing from all the different ethnic groups that can be found in Tanzania. Their motto is “Where you can see Tanzania in one day.” What’s cool about this museum is…

Today’s prompt for the Blog Every Day in May Challenge is “just pictures.” I planned on posting “just” the pictures from our little hike last Sunday, but decided they were worth an explanation. A while back shared some photos from atop the Sea Cliffs at Coco Beach. Well, last Sunday it was very low tide…

I wasn’t expecting our first Safari to be quite so amazing. First of all, it was rainy season, which is supposedly the worst time to go on Safari because the animals are all spread out rather than concentrated around a few set watering holes. Secondly, we only went to Mikumi National Park, not the famous…
