THE EXCURSIONS WE DO IN ZANZIAR

 DESCRIPTIONS OF ALL THE EXCURSIONS WE DO IN ZANZIAR: 



Experience Zanzibar STONE TOWN: Stone town and its buildings are full of history and ancient stories on Zanzibar. Guests will visit the Cathedral, Slave Markets, the Sultans Palace, Tip Tip’s House, the Old Arabic Fort, the fruit and vegetable market, Forodhani Park and the famous Zanzibar Doors in the petite streets. We offer a half day tour of Stone Town that can be combined with other activities such as Spice Farm (Stone Town served on Spices), Prison Island (Prisoners of Stone Town), Jozani Forest & Butterfly Center (Zanzibar’s nature and its Capital) and Sunset Cruise. It all depends on the guest’s preference. 

PRISON ISLAND: Prison Island gets its name from the prison which was built on it in 1893. It was never actually used as a prison but rather as a quarantine hospital. After a 30min boat ride with a beautiful view of Stone Town’s skyline, guests will meet the contemporary inhabitants of the island and the giant tortoises which were banned from the city of Stone Town which are more than 200 years old. We offer Prison Island as a half day tour that can be combined with a tour of Stone Town: Prisoners of Stone To prison island 

SPICE FARM: A tour of one of Zanzibar’s Spice Farms is a must do on the island. During a walking tour through the farm, guests will be shown and explained each and every spice one can find in Zanzibar. After being fully packed with knowledge, our guests get time to buy spices, soaps and cremes which are all handmade by the community within the farm and can enjoy a traditional weaving class. We offer this tour as a half day trip, in combination with Stone Town (Stone Town served on Spices) or Jozani Forest & Butterfly Center (Fauna and Flora served on Spices). 

JOZANI FOREST & BUTTERFLY CENTRE: During a guided tour through the Jozani National Park, guests will see the different species of monkeys, impressive trees and plants. Guest will uncover the magical world of the Zanzibar mangroves while walking along the wooden trail. This tour is combined with a visit to the Zanzibar Butterfly Centre to learn about the life cycle of a butterfly and see them flying in close proximity. We offer this tour as a half day tour or as a full day tour including local lunch in combination with Stone Town (Zanzibar’s Nature and its capital), Spice Farm (Fauna and Flora served on Spices), The Rock Restaurant (Fauna and Flora served on the Rock) or the Seaweed Centre in Paje (Zanzibar’s nature and community). 

1000 HANDS OF ZANZIBAR: On this half day tour the guests will get the chance to see the typical village life of Zanzibar and the turtle sanctuary in Nungwi. The guests will be taken to all the places where the real and normal life of a typical Zanzibarian happens. What they do with their hands is incredible. 

SAFARI BLUE: SAFARI BLUE (the Original): Leaving from Fumba, which is in the South East – and still a very untouched and remote area in Zanzibar, guests will head on a trip in a traditional wooden dhow towards one of the three snorkeling stops to enjoy the unique underwater world of Zanzibar. On the way they will hopefully meet dolphins playing around in the shallow Marine Park of Menai Bay and depending on the tides they’ll swim at a very special island full of mangroves. On the secluded uninhabited island Kwale, they’ll enjoy a delicious lunch. 

SEAFARI – MNEMBA ATOLL: After heading, with a dhow, from Kendwa to the stunning Mnemba Atoll – and with every possibility of seeing dolphins along the way, our guests will stop at Mnemba Kitchwani Reef and at Coral Gardens for snorkeling. This amazing reef with steep slopes offers some great under water topography and a chance to see amazing corals and a lot of different species of fish. A snorkel guide will also be in the water pointing out all of the little camouflage and the tricks most people’s eyes miss. At the end of the trip our guests will enjoy a mouthwatering lunch and relax on the beautiful secluded beach of Muyuni Beach TUMBATU ISLAND: Tumbatu is one of Zanzibar’s best kept secrets as the vast majority is forbidden from setting foot on the island. To enter the island, you need special permission from the elders of the Tumbatu community. Although this is the island where, in the 11th century, the Shiraz built the first stone building in the entire Zanzibar Archipelago, you won’t find cars or scooters as there is only one road to walk on throughout the whole island. On this full day tour, leaving from Mkokotoni by boat, guests will visit the school of Jongowe and the house of a fisherman’s family. Our guests will also be told about the daily life and the secrets of Tumbatu – as they are also famous for witch craft. 

SEAWEED FARM: Visit the Seaweed Center to learn about Seaweed farming which is the second biggest industry on the island. Located in Paje, this social enterprise creates opportunities for female seaweed farmers to improve their standard of living and engage in economic development activities that benefit the whole community. Depending on the tide it is possible to see how the women harvest their seaweed. Our guests will visit the processing center and factory located in the village. Here they’ll get the rare opportunity to see how the seaweed gets transformed into desirable beauty products like organic soaps and essential oils. We offer this experience as a half day tour or as full day tour combined with the Jozani Forest and Butterfly Center (Zanzibar’s nature and community).

 SUNSET CRUISE: This 2-hour boat trip can either start from the Northern Coast of the Island, to watch the world famous sunset of Zanzibar’s North Coast or it can start from Stone Town where guests can enjoy the best view of the capital from the water. Snacks and drinks are provided on the traditional wooden dhow and if the wind allows the crew, they will sail like the traditional fishing boats while you listen to traditional Zanzibar music. 

THE ROCK RESTAURANT: The unique location of this restaurant is an attraction in itself. If the tide is high, guests can use a boat to get to the restaurant – or even swim; and when the tide is low, they can simply walk.

KIBERA SLUM NAIROBI INFORMATION
Kibera means "forest" is the largest slum in Nairobi, Kenya. Kibera Slum Nairobi is roughly the same size as New York City’s Central Park, about 1.5 square miles.

At over 1 million people, the population density in Kibera is 30 times that of New York City and Kibera don’t have multi-level housing. Most people living in Kibera have little or no access to basic necessities, such as electricity, clean water, toilet facility, and sewage disposal.

The combination of poor nutrition and lack of sanitation accounts for many illnesses and deaths in Kibera slum Nairobi. According to authorities, there are over 50,000 AIDS orphans surviving in Kibera slum Nairobi, often cared for by grandparents, over-crowded orphanages, or completely unattended.

For these and all children in Kibera, schooling is rare and dependent on the ebb and the flow of family finances, trapping them in a cycle of poverty.

Explore the unseen side of Nairobi through Kibera, Africa's largest slum and home to over 1 million Kenyans, accounting for over 40 tribes and various religions that peacefully co-exist in the 2.5 sq. km. area. Recently visited by President Obama, PM Gordon Brown, and UN Sect General Ban Ki-Moon, Kibera is the subject of countless UN programs targeting poverty, health, infrastructure, and education. During 2008 post-election violence, the community became an epicenter of activism, exacerbating political and tribal rifts in an otherwise peaceful area. The novel and 2005 film, The Constant Gardener, also popularized Kibera’s health and political issues.
“How are you,” are the common greetings from the children who are eager to meet the outsiders. Kibera is a fascinating place with raw eye-opening, yet encouraging experiences.

Kibera slum Nairobi originated in 1920 as a soldiers’ settlement. The British colonial government of the time allowed them to squat on a hillside outside Nairobi. After Kenyan independence in 1963, however, various forms of housing were made illegal by the government, rendering Kibera unauthorized on the basis of land tenure. Diseases such as malaria, cholera, and typhoid afflict large proportions of Kibera residents.

These diseases are caused by a lack of sanitation facilities in the slum, and often in the case of communicable disease, sickness is spread across large portions of the populace. Sanitation in Kibera is non-existent, open sewers carrying fetid water are everywhere.

Cholera and Typhoid cases in Kibera are a direct result of the lack of proper sewage control and disposal. Both Cholera and Typhoid are very debilitating, and can last for weeks at a time, and without treatment can cause death.

As residents of Kibera live in structures without any plumbing facilities, clean water must be accessed from pre-filled water tanks (AKA water points), which are often controlled by landlords, and expensive for residents to use. Since clean water is difficult to obtain, residents are often unable to wash their hands before preparing food or doing other things that can cause diseases to enter their bodies.

Malaria is a severe problem in Kibera, and is particularly damaging to the community because it often causes a person to be so sick that they are unable to work, which may precipitate the loss of a job or business revenue that is vital to their family’s survival.
Malaria is also especially deadly in children and the elderly. The Malaria parasite is transmitted from person to person through the bite of female mosquitoes, which requires blood to nurture her eggs.
There are at least 300 million acute cases of malaria each year globally, resulting in more than a million deaths. Around 90% of these deaths occur in Africa, mostly in young children. Malaria kills an African child every 30 seconds.
Many children who survive an episode of severe malaria may suffer from learning impairments or brain damage. Pregnant women and their unborn children are also particularly vulnerable to malaria, which is a major cause of prenatal mortality, low birth weight, and maternal anemia
One of the primary factors in Malaria spread in Kibera is ineffective wastewater drainage's that run thru the slum. In many parts of Kibera, drainage's are simply channels dug in the dirt, and they quickly become muddy and clogged with waste.
Residents use the drainage's to remove waste water and solids from their household area. As the drainage's are simply made of dirt they do not flow very effectively; pools of water and waste form in these channels once they are clogged, and this is where mosquitoes lay their eggs.
As drainage's collect waste, they also become breeding grounds for cholera and typhoid, as well as other diseases, and since these drainage's are unprotected from human contact, transmission can occur very easily, especially in children who play nearby.

OPTIONAL MASAI MARA BALLOON SAFARI STARTING FROM USD 540 PER PERSON


Additional Trip Notes
OPTIONAL MASAI MARA BALLOON SAFARI STARTING FROM USD 540 PER PERSON:

 Close your eyes, and for a moment feel your body lift up, with you having no control over it, and there is a certain part of you, inside you, saying to yourself, I am crazy for taking this balloon safari. This is what most people feel when the excitement of a Masai Mara balloon safari crosses one’s emotion of self-control and independence.
Don’t stop! Tell me more about my Masai Mara Balloon Safari in Kenya?
The feeling is indescribable, the crispness of the African air, chill in the wind that hits your face as your Mara hot air balloon gradually rises, smoothness in the exhale of your breath, and the excitement to see and learn more. One’s physical presence can be felt on the plains of the Masai Mara when reading this.
Your trip begins when you get your wakeup call at your safari lodge or tented camp in the early hours of the morning, as you yawn away, and thoughts about your wildlife viewing from an elevated position begins to stir your mind. The fresh Kenyan traditional hot tea and coffee quickly awaken you, in fact preparing you for a “mission”.
By 6.15 a.m. you are almost arriving at the hot air balloon site in the Masai Mara. As you approach the site, the balloon seems bigger than you expected, the experience is one that has never been visited, and you are about to have a trip of a lifetime.
Liftoff! Up and away we go! At 6.30 a.m., the hot air balloon safari starts. The captain asks you to relax and experience the wonders under the African sky. As you finally start to get a grip on the elevation, an inner smile that resonates on one’s face does not need an explanation. The wildebeest moving in large numbers across the Masai Mara plains, the beauty of the landscape when the rising sun’s bright orange colors are displayed, the elephants at the water pool, and the gazelles and zebras scampering away, just if it was their first time to witness an alien object in the sky.
By 7.30 a.m., one is very content with balloon safari, and it almost touches downtime. There is a celebration, and for those who prefer a toast, champagne is served, as hot breakfast in the bush is being prepared. You ask yourself, is this true? I am really doing this trip of a lifetime in Kenya? In the Masai Mara? As the sweetness and aroma of the African coffee surround you, with fresh eggs being served as you like it, you hope for another ride and wish that such luxury never ended.
By the time you finish your breakfast, you have made up your decision to immigrate to Kenya because such life is only found here. You begin to question yourself, and you feel the urgency to seek, live and enjoy this pristine beauty, a once in a lifetime “thing”.
By 9.00 a.m., you have been declared a champion, a mighty certificate of completion handed out to you which you hope to display in your home country, to family, friends, coworkers. Clapping and participation by everyone present makes you proud to have achieved a trip as wonderful as this.
By then you hear a blaring sound of music or even an annoying buzz, you turn around and switch off the alarm clock. Your eyes wide open, you know that you have to get back to Kenya, to Maasai Mara, again otherwise the recurring dreams will drive you mad.
