ZANZIBAR VACATIONS

Zanzibar, the place of dreams.  An archipelago in the Indian Ocean, 25 miles from the Tanzanian coast.  It's 60 miles long and 20 miles wide of beautiful sandy beaches and crystal clear blue water.

Visit the Stone Town where you'll see the Palace Museum, the Arab Fort and Dr. Livingstones house.  Take a walk through the market place where you can buy anything from fruit to souvenirs and hand crafted items.

Take a stroll through the spice plantation where you'll find cloves, nutmeg, pepper and cinamon.  The cheapest place to buy spices and oils.

Visit the Jozani Natural Forest, home of the rare Red Colobus monkey or go to Ras Nungwi, a fishing village with a turtal sanctuary where they nurse injured marine animals back to health and release them back into the ocean.

Take the dolphin tour or visit Prison Island - a gaol where misbehaved slaves were sent.  Here you'll also find giant tortoise and a restaurant to enjoy light meals.

Laze around on the clean beaches, go big game fishing or enjoy the various watersports available.

OKAVANGO DELTA - BOTSWANA

Hi there!  Today we visit the Okavango Delta.  This is the worlds largest inland water system.  Starting in Angola, flowing through Namibia and ending in Botswana.  She covers more than 17 000 square km!

So, you can imagine the large variety of animals (crocs, elephant, buffalo and birds) you'll get to see.  Endless vegitation meandering along this beautiful water world.

The best times to visit for game views is May - October and for viewing of birds and the vegitation, November to April.

Dry and flood months are experienced, so stick to the above plan if you don't want to be disappointed!

There are 40 lodges and camps to choose from.  Enjoy a leisurely canoe ride in the traditional mokoro boats to explore the vast water ways.  To explore the main water ways, motor boats are used.  Or go on a 4x4 game drive, night drive, walking safaris or flight safaris.

Packages available :  Delta Safaris  = 9-14 days

                                    Romantic Safaris = 3-9 days

Fishing, hunting or just lazing about.  Have fun and remember your pre-medications!
