DINING WITH THE STARS
FROM JANUARY TO APRIL THE ENCHANTING
DIAMONDS RESORTS IN ZANZIBAR WERE THE
STAGE FOR THE OUTSTANDING CULINARY
PERFORMANCES OF THE JEUNES RESTAURATEURS
CHEFS COMING FROM ALL OVER EUROPE.
27Feature
Following the success of previous editions, the group has renewed its partnership with the association of talented young chefs who all share a similar passion for their profession, a philosophy that is based on tradition and on the use of local products, and who combine creativity with mastery in the preparation. The fourth edition of this gourmet event with the star chefs of JRE brought new and exciting energy to the kitchens of the exclusive Diamonds La Gemma Dell’Est and Star of the East, two of the most exclusive properties on Zanzibar.
For 14 weeks, fourteen JRE chefs from eight different countries (Italy, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Austria, Slovenia), have created unforgettable sensorial experiences.
The guest chefs were Filippo Saporito, Hans-Harald Reber, Sylvain Belouin, Silvia Alvarez, Benoît Neusy, Filip Dewijnants, Giulio Terrinoni Vinod
Sookar, Clément Bidard, Benjamin Maerz, Markus Pape, Deborah Corsi, Michael Kolm, Andri Casanova, Jure Tomič.
On arrival, each chef performed a show cooking in the main Buffet Restaurant. However, the real culinary spectacle is the Gala Dinner, an exclusive 6-course gourmet meal served in the Ocean Blue Restaurant of Star of the East. Finally, real foodies had the opportunity to attend cooking classes once a week, where the JRE chefs revealed the secret recipes of their own cuisine. The novelty this year was a Four-Hands Dinner prepared by the JRE chef together with the Executive Chef of the resorts.
"Dining with the Stars is an initiative that has come about thanks to Planhotel’s philosophy to ensure that every vacation is a unique, memorable, emotional and experiential journey," says Sara Rosso, president and CEO of the Planhotel Hospitality Group.

"We are pleased to continue our support as main sponsors for the Rotary Zanzibar Golf Day. The work Rotary Club has been doing is providing excellent services to the community in Zanzibar.
We as the developer of the Fumba Town project have a major impact on the local economy and we value other organisations that also try to make a positive change towards a better future.
I would like to congratulate the Rotary Club again for the great work they have been doing and would like to express my intention for further strengthening our relationship in the future.”

ROTARY ZANZIBAR &FUMBA TOWN GOLF DAY 2018
The Rotary Club of Zanzibar is proud to announce that they will host the 3rd ROTARY ZANZIBAR AND FUMBA TOWN GOLF DAY on the 15th of September 2018.
In just two years, this fundraising competition has made its mark on the golfing communities of Tanzania and East Africa all while raising money for charity.
For the 3rd year running, Fumba Town Development is the main name sponsor for this premier golf competition at Sea Cliff Resort & Spa.
"Sebastian Dietzold, CEO of CPS the developer behind Fumba Town Development Project with 12 year old Celina Patel winner of the 2016 People’s Choice Award"
““The beneficiary for the 2018 competition will once again be Makunduchi Hospital - the need for proper staff accommodation has proved to be vital to the day to day running of the hospital as one of the biggest problems an isolated hospital faces is recruiting and retaining skilled clinical technicians and medical staff. The work is tough and the day starts very early. In order to increase the attractiveness of working at Makunduchi and thereby improving staff retention, a staff house is vital. Rotary Club is delighted that these accommodations for the valuable staff of Makunduchi will be a wonderful addition to the project to improve service delivery and quality of care at Makunduchi Hospital for which funds was raised in the 2016 Rotary Zanzibar & Fumba Town Golf Day.

THE ROTARY CLUB OF ZANZIBAR IS PLANNING AN EVEN BIGGER AND BETTER GOLF DAY FOR 2018
Esmond Bradley Martin (1941-2018)
By Martin Walsh
WHEN ESMOND BRADLEY MARTIN WAS BRUTALLY MURDERED IN HIS
HOME IN LANG’ATA, NAIROBI, ON 4TH FEBRUARY 2018, THE WORLD
LOST ONE OF ITS MOST DEDICATED AND FEARLESS CONSERVATIONISTS
AND WILDLIFE INVESTIGATORS, KNOWN FOR HIS METICULOUSLY
RESEARCHED REPORTS ON THE ILLEGAL TRADE IN RHINO HORN AND
ELEPHANT IVORY.
SOURCE: ECOLOGIST https://theecologist.org/2018/feb/06/murder-ivory-trade-activist-esmond-bradley-martin-leaves-conservation-world-reeling

The East African coast also lost one of its best researchers. He began his career by writing about Malindi and the Lamu archipelago, before moving on to study the dhow trade. Cargoes of the East, written with his wife Chryssee, is now a classic, as is his keenly observed account of his research trips in the mid-1970s, Zanzibar: Tradition and Revolution.
After an absence of 30 years, he returned to Zanzibar in 2006 to attend a conference on dhows and sailing in the Indian Ocean and arrange for these two books to be reprinted by Gallery Publications. He made the most of this visit, and as well as visiting old friends and making new ones, he found time to collect material for an article on the lingering trade in African civet skins.
Otherwise he was impressed by the changes, and wrote enthusiastically about them in that year’s Christmas card:
“Now it’s very different! Stone Town has been transformed with new hotels beautifully converted from old buildings, Italian-run restaurants, two new museums and many shops catering to Zanzibaris and tourists alike. Zanzibar has indeed regained its allure.”
Alas, the world has lost some of its allure with Esmond Bradley Martin’s premature passing. He’ll be missed by a lot of people, not to mention the natural world that he fought so courageously for.

Coastal Coastal’s Renowned Junior Pilot’s Cadet Program
The Coastal Junior Pilot Cadet Program first began on 09th September 2011 in the city of Dar-Es- Salaam and is currently managed by Captain Maynard Mkumbwa, Coastal’s Director of Flight Operations.
Coastal's Cadet program is designed to gather the best of newly graduated Commercial Pilots who are at the crest of beginning their career. Historically, Coastal cadet pilots were limited to Tanzanian Nationals. Beginning this year, 2018 the program has been extended to also accommodate foreign commercial pilots whilst still prioritizing Tanzanian nationals.
The recruitment process begins with advertising in various local newspapers. Oral and practical interviews are then organized for shortlisted candidates; those successful then join the program. The program runs as an on-going cycle whereby when the new candidates are enrolled, advertisements for new recruitments are sent out and those completing the cadet program receive their captainship, also known as their command.
Coastal’s training program equips our pilots to become professionals in operating our Cessna 208B fleet, specifically training them for bush flying since Coastal specializes in flying safaris. At the same time, we focus on maintaining the Tanzanian Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA) and Airline standards, focusing on safety as our top priority.
The cadet program not only trains our Pilots to operate our Cessna 208B fleet as Copilots and Captains but they are also trained on flight operations, aircraft dispatch, ground operations and flight maintenance, thereby making our pilot’s all-rounded.
Our Junior Pilot’s require a minimum of 1000hrs to receive their command, marking the end to their time at the Cadet Program. After a completion of a final assessment, they are offered an employment contract.
“Pilot’s demand is very high, worldwide. I urge our young Tanzanians who aspire to become a pilot to follow their dream and we will always be happy to consider you to becoming a member of the Coastal Team,” say’s Captain Maynard.
The TCAA also offer sponsorships to the training of Pilots through the Training Fund Contribution. It is equally important for the community to acknowledge these training programs in order to produce more qualified Pilots to fly the increasing number of tourists to their destination.
The Coastal Cadet Program is very crucial to the continuous supply of qualified Pilots within the industry. It is our aim at Coastal to promote the program in order for it to be emulated by other airlines across Tanzania and Africa in general, bringing growth to the industry.
Anybody interested in joining the program can contact Coastal via cadetship@coastal.co.tz

This year, we will include the firm favourites from our inaugural Bonanza, including traditional bullfighting and ‘ Pemba on Pedals’, the bicycle race that makes the most of the island’ s rolling hills, and the thrilling dhow race that drew a crowd of 6000+ on the final day of the festivities last year.
We are delighted to also be trialling new events- a traditional donkey parade at Chake Chake – Pujini route, complete with brass band, a football tournament to be held at Gombani Stadium, and Pemba’s first ever marathon.
As well as the carefully curated planned events, we look forward to enjoying the spontaneous activities
that sprung up around the schedule, such as the bicycle race night camps at Gando and Konde ahead of race day, where cyclists gathered to get to know each other and carry out repairs. The camps turned into an event in themselves as crowds staged traditional dances, lit huge bonfires and ate together.
The collaboration between traditional artists, musicians and athletes promises to deliver an unforgettable experience and unique celebration of Swahili culture.
This is Pemba’s festival- help to bring the island alive with your support and prepare to enjoy the liveliest social event in the calendar.

Your Visit to Pemba IslandPemba is the second largest
island in the Zanzibar Archipelago yet despite its breathtaking natural beauty and unique culture, it remains off the beaten track for most tourists- most of whom flock to Unguja, the biggest island in the group and first port-of-call for the ferry from Dar es Salaam .
But for those who are willing to venture a little further, Pemba harbours much to explore.
KNOWN AS JAZEERA AL-KHUDRA, ‘THE GREEN ISLAND’, IT RISES FROM THE INDIAN OCEAN CLOAKED IN UNSPOILED FORESTS AND FRINGED BY WHITE SANDY BEACHES.
More pastoral than its sister to the south, the island offers a slower pace of life than can be found on Unguja, and has its own vibrant history and culture to boot.
Getting around ...!You can reach Pemba via flight
or ferry boat. When in Pemba, as in Rome, it’s best to live as the Pembans live. Public transport is affordable and offers instant exposure to authentic Pemban culture, while self-driving hired cars, cycles and motorcycles offer flexibility. Roads are safe and the island is small enough to find your way around unaccompanied.
In preparation for the Bonanza, there will be special maps and route maps available highlighting the bus routes and best ways to travel to and from events. Most importantly, in Pemba you will be welcomed and overwhelmed by the hospitality of local people.
Pemba is an island where equality and diversity are observed. In addition, the crime rate is comparably low, making the island a safe destination to visit and live.

Maruhubi Palace
NOW AND THEN
BY NINA SPRINGLE
MARAHUBI PALACE WAS BUILT IN 1880 BY THE THIRD SULTAN OF ZANZIBAR, BARGHASHI BIN SAID EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE USE OF HIS HAREM.
The most extravagant of all the sultans, Barghash had ninety-nine concubines hailing from as far away as Russia, Iran, India and Ethiopia. Here they enjoyed life in opulent style, accommodated in this lavish, labyrinthine residence, which included several flowering pleasure ponds. Visitors to the royal residence often arrived by boat, welcomed in a fortified beach pavilion and entertained by the sultan eating from gold plates and reclining on silk cushions.
An extensive network of Persian baths was built to the rear of the Palace that included both fresh and hot water pools. These served as both a venue for relaxation and a counselling chamber where the sultan would solve domestic problems within his harem. Hot water baths were warmed through a hole in the wall where a fire was kept alive by slaves. Influences of Egyptian and Turkish architecture can be seen in the domes and arches used throughout the buildings and many of the imposing columns that supported the large wooden balcony surrounding the upper floor are still standing.
Only two kilometres away from Stone Town, the estate was bought from an Arab of the Marahubi tribe, one of the most powerful Arab tribes in the Sultanate era. It is thickly planted with mango and coconut trees imported from India in the middle of the 1800s and just a few metres from the ocean. A massive overhead stone aqueduct was constructed to supply water to the Palace, the baths complex and for cultivation purposes from the Chem-Chem springs in Kidichi.
The palace was accidentally burned down in 1899, while the sultan was away on safari to India. It is said that on hearing the news of the fire on his return voyage, the sultan died of shock. He is buried next to what is now the Palace Museum. His numerous concubines scattered across the island along with their many children.
Today, the remains of the baths, ponds and beach pavilion can still be seen and Marahubi Ruins is often the first stop on the spice tour before visiting the spice plantations.
By abstaining from all consumption during daylight hours, Muslims learn to control their worldly desires, cultivate empathy and compassion, whilst showing their intense commitment to Allah, and strengthening their souls.
During Ramadhan, Zanzibar isn’t its usual lively self. Street life is sleepy, unusually quiet till late morning. People are slow to get moving.
Many stay indoors for most of the day to guard against the heat of the sun. In the evenings, after sundown, most spend time with family and friends, sharing a meal in quiet company, recovering from the day’s exertions and preparing for the next. For Muslims fasting in the heat of the tropics, Ramadhan can be a challenging and exhausting time.

RAMADHANThe fourth pillar of Islam,
BY NINA SPRINGLE
WITH STOIC ANTICIPATION, MILLIONS LOOK TO THE SKY DURING THE NINTH MONTH OF THE ISLAMIC LUNAR CALENDAR, FOR THE FIRST SIGN OF THE NEW MOON; SEARCHING, SCANNING FOR THE SLIVER THAT WILL BEGIN THE ANNUAL MONTH OF FASTING, COMMEMORATING THE REVELATION OF THE HOLY QUR-AN TO THE PROPHET OF ISLAM, MUHAMMAD. RAMADHAN IS PRACTICED BY ALL HEALTHY MUSLIMS AND IS THE MOST VENERATED MONTH OF THE ISLAMIC YEAR. MUSLIMS ARE REQUIRED TO FAST FROM SUNRISE TO SUNSET FOR A WHOLE LUNAR MONTH, AROUND 30 DAYS.
‘A time for prayers, fasting and charity’
48 swahili coast i s s u e 8 7
Day begins with a small meal just before dawn called daku. Once the sun rises, the meal ends and daily routine begins as usual. During daylight hours, two prayers are held, one at lunchtime and another at 4pm. No food can be eaten, no liquid drank, including water, or tobacco smoked during these hours. The fast is broken after dusk by the call of the evening prayer, often with porridge or dates and water. After prayer, the main meal is a communal event. Cassava, green banana, bread fruit and pumpkin cooked in coconut are a speciality, along with richly spiced meat, seafood and chicken. Indian inspired breads such as chapati and mandazi and rice are served as accompaniments. Sweet dishes include kiamati, small balls of pastry dipped in a honey or sugar syrup and vipopo, pastry balls cooked in coconut milk and sugar.
A visit to Zanzibar at any time promises experiences rich in
adventure and diversity, it’s important to remember, to be respectful of the religious and cultural practices of the local people. Ramadhan is a time of modesty, discretion and piety and visitors should take care to be culturally sensitive. Dress modestly wearing skirts or trousers that fall below the knee and shirts that cover the arms. Don’t eat or drink in the street during the day. Even smoking should be discreet and private. Be patient when dining out. It’s likely restaurant staff will be fasting and may not have eaten since very early that morning, or even the day before. By showing a little understanding and sensitivity, visitors can coexist with local tradition and still enjoy a memorable holiday. As with most times of endurance and hardship, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
When the new moon of the tenth month rises, Muslims welcome the end of Ramadhan and the

DISCRETION AND PIETY AND VISITORS SHOULD
TAKE CARE TO BE CULTURALLY SENSITIVE.

beginning of the Eid ul-Fitr festival, a joyous celebration of renewal and regeneration for the new year. Spanning four days, Eid is a time for giving and merriment. Gifts of money and food are exchanged, new clothes adorned and delegations of celebrators visit the homes of family and friends, who in turn offer cake, halwa and kashata, served with strong black coffee. In the evenings, entertainment continues at Mnazi Mmoja where you can join the crowds enjoying a plethora of stalls selling toys and amusements, eateries of all kinds and music. Zanzibar nightlife during this time is at its most dynamic with spirits high and energy abundant, making Eid one of the best times to be in Zanzibar.

Its history in stamps
ZANZIBARBY MIKE FERGUSON
STAMP COLLECTING IS A HOBBY KNOWN TO THOUSANDS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. BUT IT IS MORE THAN JUST A COLLECTOR'S PAST-TIME. STAMP COLLECTING IS A SOURCE OF INFORMATION ESPECIALLY ABOUT HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY AND CULTURE. IF YOU ARE GOING TO ENJOY A HOLIDAY OR SPEND TIME IN SOME WAY IN ZANZIBAR, YOU CAN DO A LOT WORSE THAN LOOK AT ITS STORY AS SEEN IN ITS STAMPS.
53FeatureFeature
The first stamps of Zanzibar were Indian. STRONG historical and especially trading links encouraged the opening of a post office in Zanzibar as early as 1875. It was originally a little office in the British Consulate which at that time was a building at Shangani Point near the present Serena Hotel. The building is called "Mambo Msiige' meaning "Don't try to imitate". Because the first stamps were Indian, it is only possible to know they were used in Zanzibar by looking at the cancellation. The letter B stands for Bombay to show that the Zanzibar post office was under the authority of the Postmaster General in Bombay.
In 1890 Zanzibar became a British Protectorate and as a result, Thomas Remington was sent out from the London General Post Office to become the first Postmaster. At this time, there was only one mail ship each month. Remington set about organising a postal service. In 1895 the Indian Post Office handed over control of the mail service to the Sultan's Government. Remington went to the Zanzibar Gazette Office (which is now a library adjoining the Law Courts) and arranged for all the Indian stamps that were still at the British Consulate to be overprinted with the word ZANZIBAR. Many mistakes were made with the overprinting and also Remington had to surcharge some stamps with different values because he was short of stocks. He was waiting for the first real set of Zanzibar stamps to be sent from the printers in England. This first set showed Sultan Hamid bin Thwaini. Unfortunately by the time Remington received the stamps in 1896, the Sultan had died. However,
"ON 27 AUGUST 1896 THERE OCCURRED
THE SHORTEST WAR IN HISTORY WHICH
LASTED 45 MINUTES AND CONSISTED
OF A BOMBARDMENT BY BRITISH
WARSHIPS OF THE SULTAN'S PALACE."
the stamps were still used until a new set could be produced. This was a problem because there was a dispute about who should be the next Sultan. On 27 August 1896 there occurred the shortest war in history which lasted 45 minutes and consisted of a bombardment by British warships of the Sultan’s palace. This was badly damaged and many Zanzibaris were killed or injured. Seyyid Khalid had tried to become the next Sultan but he was forced to flee the palace and Hamoud bin Mohammed became the next Sultan. His portrait appeared on the next set of stamps which were finally produced in 1899. Throughout the last two decades of the 18th Century a number of European powers were taking an interest in East Africa. On the main-land, Germany was establishing her influence in Tanganyika while still recognising the Sultanate in Zanzibar. Germany did have a postal agency at the German Consulate (which is now the Ministry of Information, Tourism and Youth in Shangani) but France had its own post office and issued its own stamps between 1894 and 1904. In 1902
54 swahili coast i s s u e 8 7
Hamoud bin Mohamed died and was succeeded by his son All bin Hamoud. In order to show respect to his father he did not have his portrait on the first set of stamps that were issued in 1904. Only his monogram appeared, until four years later when a new set was issued with his portrait. This set was the only occasion when a Sultan appears wearing a fez rather than the traditional turban. Also at this time in 1908 Zanzibar currency changed from 16 annas = I rupee to 100 cents - 1 rupee. For the first time, the high values in the set were pictorial, showing the old port and water-front.
In 1911 All bin Hamoud abdicated in favour of his cousin Khalifa bin Haroub who was to rule in Zanzibar through all the two World Wars and to oversee the negotiations for full independence from Britain. The high values of the Khalifa stamps - of which there were several issues - depicted out-rigger canoes and the dhows for which Zanzibar is famous even today. Twenty five years later, a special set was issued to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of the Sultan and these stamps showed another well-loved feature of Zanzibar - the great wooden doors that originated in India and Arabia. Also in 1936, Zanzibar currency changed again with the rupees becoming shillings, the same as the currency used in the rest of East Africa.
In 1944 another commemorative set was issued to celebrate the 200 years that the Al Busaid family had ruled in Arabia and East Africa. It had begun in 1744 when Ahmed bin Seiyed ruled Zanzibar from Oman, to 1840 when Sultan Seyyid made Zanzibar his capital and transferred his court from Oman and through to 1856 when Majid brokecaway from Oman and continued the family line in Zanzibar. The stamps show a magnificent dhow set in front of a map of the region.
When Sultan Khalifa was 73, a new set was issued showing a more contemporary portrait of the Sultan and with the higher values showing
the schools at Beit-el-Ras which he had built. Then in 1957, a fully pictorial set was issued. This beautiful set featured seven important aspects of Zanzibari life: map, cloves, dhows, Sultan’s barge, minarets, mosque and palace. Sultan Khalifa, had worked hard in his later years to bring independence to Zanzibar but died in 1961. His son, Abdulla bin Khalifa, succeeded him but he too died before independence in 1963.
When independence finally came to Zanzibar, it was Sultan Jamshid bin Abdulla’s portrait that appeared on the set of four Uhuru (freedom) stamps. They symbolised four aspects of Zanzibari culture and economy. The 30c showed a clove bud in front of the rising sun (industry and new growth); 50c had the sun shining through a Zanzibar door (new awakening); 1/30c was a picture of mosques, temples and churches (religious tolerance); and 2/50c was a woman walking up the steps of Mangapwani Cave. The cave was a slave chamber and the woman ascending towards the light suggested freedom and emancipation.
55FeatureFeature
In the early hours of 12 January 1964, an uprising took place against the Sultanate. The Afro-Shirazi Party led by John Okello forced the Sultan to flee the island and a Jamhuri (Republic) was declared. A new Revolutionary Government was formed under Sheik Abeid Aman Karume. When the post office was reopened on 14 January, all mail had the Sultan’s face crossed or blacked out in ballpen. In addition, the Zanzibar Gazette had supplied small metal handstamps which the postal clerks used to overprint the current stamps with “Jamhuri 1964”. These were fairly crude printings and the following month properly produced overprinted stamps were sent from the printers in London.
The main post office throughout this period was on Kenyatta Road- it is still open today but is only a subpost office. If mail is posted there, it is cancelled with a
"WHEN THE POST OFFICE WAS
REOPENED ON 14 JANUARY, ALL MAIL
HAD THE SULTAN'S FACE CROSSED
OR BLACKED OUT IN BALLPEN."
“Shangani” cancellation. Because there was a need to improve and expand the postal services, a newer main post office is now situated in Ng’ambo.
On 24 April 1964, Zanzibar took the important political step of joining with Tanganyika which led to the creation of Tanzania. In June 1964 the first set of Zanzibar Republic stamps were printed. The designs were based on the new tricolour flag of blue (sea), black (people) and green (land) and the themes showed weapons, tools and the breaking of chains.
On 12 January 1965, the First Anniversary of the Revolution set of stamps was issued. It featured soldiers and building construction. It was during this period that work was beginning on housing development at Kikwajuni, Kilimani and Michenzani. Then on 17 October a set was issued to publicise the need for agricultural development in Zanzibar with rice being the theme. Although Zanzibar was now part of Tanzania, the stamps were only on sale on the island.
From this time on, although some sets of stamps have been produced with a Zanzibar theme, they were always available for use throughout Tanzania. Thus our brief look at Zanzibar’s story through its own stamps comes to an end. Hopefully this has whetted the reader’s appetite to look at other East African philatelic themes.

• Please remember and respect that zanzibar is a muslim society. Don't walk around towns and villages dressed in bikinis, miniskirts or similar clothing. Women should cover their shoulders and wear garments that reach below the knee. Men should not go shirtless. Don’t go topless on the beaches! Swimwear is acceptable on tourist beaches, but not if there are fishermen or seaweed harvesters nearby.
• Although alcohol is freely available, drunken behaviour is considered offensive.
• Ask permission before taking pictures of people or private houses.
• Be careful walking on beaches late at night or early in the morning. Don’t carry valuables or walk alone.
• Don't accept tours or transport from unlicensed tour guide – their services are illegal and unreliable. Only use reputable tour agencies or official government guides.
• Choose wisely – make sure your tour provider is reputable. Endorse eco-tourism organisations whenever possible, this will encourage other organisations to consider the benefits of eco-tourism.
• Let your tour operator know if they are doing something potentially damaging to the environment or to local people.
• Think small! Staying in bed and breakfasts, village houses and locally owned accommodation benefits local families.
• Don't buy large shells, turtle shells, or pieces of coral from street or beach vendors. These are mostly taken from endangered reefs and buying them actively encourages the destruction of Tanzania's ocean fauna.
• Purchase local products instead of imported items, but remember that many local handicrafts are carved from indigenous trees. Avoid hard woods such as ebony and bamba kofi as these trees take centuries to grow and are now endangered through extensive forest cutting.
• Do not litter or remove anything from the places you visit – including shells.
• Water is a precious resource; use it sparingly wherever possible.
• Never touch, chase or harass the marine life or wildlife.
• Visit the main tourist destinations but get off the tourist track too. Visit the places where the locals go. Try to learn some Kiswahili!
• Don't give presents of money to children as this encourages begging.
