Tanzania Day 64 - Jambiani

Our last day of the trip had arrived! It's crazy that our spontaneous plan to leave the UK mid covid pandemic had resulted in our first trip to Africa, climbing Kilimanjaro and a close encounter with a cheetah on safari.

We enjoyed our last breakfast by the ocean. We'll miss the amazing fresh fruit that we've had every morning for the last few months.

When the tide was low enough at around 11am we walked out the sandbank in front of our hotel. It was lovely to be surrounded by a a shallow layer of glistening ocean. Of course we had the whole thing to ourselves (apart from the odd bird). We also saw few sea weed plantations on the way.

We decided to venture out to a different resort for lunch called Reef and Beach which was only a 5 minute drive from Kimte. It had a great jetty bar and a family of colobus monkeys roamed the resort. It was a lovely was to spend our last meal.

Back at Kimte we packed up our bags and played a few games of cards (I won both again, sorry Craig!). We said our goodbyes to Alvin the bartender who had gone above and beyond to look after us. He told us his plans about opening his own guest house one day and invited us back to stay with him for free once it's ready!

Our taxi to the airport was the perfect end to the trip. Rama our driver was hilarious. He was blasting Tanzanian music from the radio and dancing along. He was impressed when we knew some of the artists and songs just from being in the country so long. We all went mad for Diamond Platnumz's song 'Baba Lao' (the song our hotel in Nungwi was named after). We actually played him a song that he didn't know from one of his favourite artists Harmonize!Read more
