Final days in Arusha
We spent our last two days in Arusha doing a lot of not very much, although we did a nice hike to the waterfalls, and a bit of shopping (to spend our last shillings). Now we’re at the Kilimanjaro airport waiting for our flight, and looking forward to 30+ hours of travelling.
Helping an old man cross the river. (There were about a dozen river crossings and we both fell in at one point or another.)
The falls!!! This is dry season - during wet season Sonya would be up to her neck (and in fact you can’t even hike to the falls).

Stone Town Zanzibar
We spent a couple of days wandering around Stone Town (the main town on Zanzibar Island). We took a guided tour one morning and then just wandered around shopping the next morning. It was hot and humid so we spent afternoons lazing around our air conditioned apartment. Today we’re flying back to Arusha for a couple of days before we return to Canada.
Here are some photos, in no particular order.
Food (of course).
Cats cats cats everywhere.

Beach Bums in Matemwe Zanzibar
After our Safari we decamped to the island of Zanzibar, to the town of Matemwe on the north-east side of the island. We ate, snorkelled, walked along the beach and generally lounged about for four days. Tomorrow (Thursday) we are moving to an Airbnb in Stone Town.
In Matemwe we went snorkeling a couple of times. You just hire a boat on the beach and they zip you out to the good corals.
Our beach is miles and miles long and full of locals selling various products and tours. Hapana Asante!!!
On our last day we started to run out of Tanzanian Shillings so we walked about 90 minutes to the closest atm 😜
Here are some miscellaneous pictures.
We spent one night in Arusha after our Safari, before we hopped a flight to Zanzibar.
