I traveled through Africa…
Blog: Nilikuta Shani - 10 May 2010
…and all I got was this lousy tropical disease. I knew I was sick when I came home, but I was hesitant to go to a doctor—I was back in the land of expensive health bills and rampant insurance costs. … Continue reading →I traveled through Africa… is a post from: Nilikuta Shani

Zanzibar V/ The Zanzibar Serena Inn
Blog: Nilikuta Shani - 22 February 2010
When sailing into the Stone Town harbor from Dar es Salaam, the first sight visitors see of the UNESCO World Heritage site is the waterfront. One building along the water, that stands out as a modern yet refreshingly quaint gem resplendent among Stone Town‘s other upscale hotels, is the Zanzibar Serena Inn, a luxurious retreat [...]

Photo of the Week – Zanzibar
Blog: Ottsworld - 19 February 2010
African Sushi – Zanzibar I love markets, they never disappoint. This man in the Stonetown Market looked like had been carving up fish for hours.

Blog: Nilikuta Shani - 19 February 2010
In no way am I able to do justice to the rich history of Zanzibar in such a short space and with limited resources.

Blog: Nilikuta Shani - 18 December 2009

On January 17th, 2010, after spending 3 weeks in Uganda, I get picked up in Nairobi, Kenya, for a 6-week overland trip through Southern Africa—from Kenya, we drive down to Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, and finish the journey in Cape Town, South Africa. Epic! I always fancied the idea of traveling extensively through Africa, [...]

Zanzibar Part II/ Experiencing village life
Blog: Nilikuta Shani - 20 October 2009
Traveling anywhere on a shoestring offers visitors a very unique experience of local culture that those traveling on a higher budget just don’t experience. Several of these experiences in Zanzibar were truly eye-opening and really rounded out my holiday—after all it would be unnatural to visit any town in Africa (or anywhere else in the [...]
