East Coast Beaches

The tides on this side of the island retreat twice a day for kilometres, revealing a lagoon floor of coral, seaweed and sand. Due to this, swimming is a bit of a struggle, and it’s in fact visitors number 1 complaint, but it’s truly magnificent if you are into walking & kayaking. The East coast of the country experiences strong winds on a regular occurrence, especially in the evenings, which is wonderful if you are into sailing, kite surfing or kayaking.

East Coast Coves

The east coast of Zanzibar is a beach enthusiasts paradise, lined with palm fringed beaches, shallow waters, continuous coral reef and pristine white sands. The East coast coves are much less susceptible to any sort of tidal variations, and is situated away from the local villages.

Northwest Non-Tidal Beaches

Perhaps the most visited area on the island, Nungwi & Kendwa resorts are popular with visitors coming from the Tanzanian mainland including the likes of the Ruaha National Park from a weeks safari or from a strenuous Kilimanjaro climb, looking to relax in Zanzibar for a week or so. In the islands northwest the pristine white beach runs all the way down to the turquoise ocean, which means when the tide does go out, it never goes out of site which makes swimming possible all day long. It was only 15 years ago that the region was granted permission for construction and is mainly filled up with Italian tourist resorts.

Southwest Islands

The majority of islands to the southwest are simply used for day visits as there is no permanent accommodation on the island. There are however temporary shacks that have been built by local people to sell food and drink to visitors. I think if most of us had our way we would have the shacks removed and restored to their original state.

With the technology of today’s world booking any kind of safari to Africa can come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The introduction of the internet has provided us with a vast amount of new ways to book a safari. It certainly pays dividends to do your research, especially when so many different companies are offering the same thing and the only real tool of any use is the internet. Calling the first company you see offering a safari in the local people is most definitely a thing of the past.

A Tanzania safari is the opportunity of a lifetime for so many people, and in most cases it’s something people will only get to do once. Getting the right balance is crucial in the success of the holiday as most people pay a lot of money for some of these trips and it would be an awful shame to waste the opportunity. Not only does the internet allow us to browse through various trips offered to us by different safari specialists but the internet also provides us with review websites such as Trip Advisor which allows us to read customer reviews of each safari trip. It’s very easy for anyone to construct a website and sell an African safari but they could be complete cowboys for all you know.

Currency fluctuations have become all too familiar to us all in past years with the recession striking hard in the U.K. and the U.S.A. along with the on-going Eurozone crisis. There are lots of people out there that constantly keep their eyes on the markets hoping to be able to predict another currency fluctuation. Many people use times like this to go on holiday when the value of the currency in the country they are travelling to is slowly heading downwards.

It was only 6 months ago or so that Kenya saw a huge drop in their currency against the GB Pound, US Dollar and the Euro over the course of several weeks. Many people saw this as a great opportunity to travel out to the country on a Kenya safari. The same happened in 2009 when the South African Rand took a walloping and almost dropped to half its current value in the space of a month. I was actually in South Africa at the time so i withdrew as much cash as possible and not only toured South Africa but also travelled on a Namibia safari as the Namibian Dollar is pegged 1:1 with the SA Rand therefore it had significantly dropped as well.

If you are a European, American or British citizen then travelling anywhere in the world is generally much cheaper than it is within your own country. Heading out to Africa with any three of these currencies is going to put you in good stead and whilst not all of Africa is cheap, most of it will be cheaper than life at home for you. Currency fluctuations are frequent but unpredictable so it’s important you keep your eye on the markets and predict when you think a currency may begin to fall giving yourself adequate time to book up a Zambia safari or a holiday of your choice to the appropriate destination.

There are however some exceptions to this rule. It was only 2 years ago that Zimbabwe’s rising inflation caused them to scrap the currency and use the US Dollar instead. At the time Zimbabwe was not a country that anyone would have advised you to travel to due it’s political instability, so it’s of paramount importance that you take all of these aspects into consideration before travelling.

Foreign travel can display its own unique set of dilemmas for flyers, from ordering a passport to applying for a visa. Once you are welcomed into the country, you have to comply with specific guidelines to prevent being arrested and fined, and some countries have harsher laws than others. You want to prevent being fined, or worse, imprisoned while journeying abroad, which is why you must read and recognize all the traveler laws. The two hardest countries to travel to are China and North Korea; these are countries that impose strict laws on visitors.

China

Before you travel to any country, it is smart to venture to the country’s embassy site to understand the laws, and China asks all travelers to do just this to avoid any fines and jail time. When you first decide to travel to China, the first requirement you must follow is having to go to the nearest police station and sign in. No matter how long your stay may be, you must sign in with the local police station; if you do not, you are facing jail time and harsh fines. The Chinese embassy also stipulates that all American travelers must have their US passports as well their Chinese visas with them at all times, as police officers, hotel managers and even store owners may conduct checks.

North Korea

When you order Russian visas or even Australian visas, the wait is relatively short, but for a North Korean visa, you may never get a response, and if you do, it may be a denial letter as the North is very harsh concerning who is allowed to visit. If you do manage to get a North Korean visa, you will have a government worker accompanying you the whole time, and this person will act as a guide to take you to popular tourist sites and tell you what you can and cannot do during your stay. One of the biggest issues ushers will notify tourists of is taking photographs of their president, Kim Jong Il, because according to the North Koreans, it is forbidden for travelers to take any image of the president as they see it as a sign of disrespect. Government workers who accompany you have the capability to place you under arrest if you fail to obey their rules.

It is often wise to keep your passport and visa with you at all times to avoid any issues when traveling abroad.  Please note, it is better to read all the laws for yourself than rely on your travel guide to teach you them, and you can start by visiting the country’s embassy website.
