ZANZIBAR FEELATHOME TOURS & SAFARIS LTD

Prison Island Tour!!

Prison Island is just off the coast of Stone Town and it’s a quick 10 minute boat trip from the old town’s waterfront. Just negotiate a ride with any of the waiting boats and remember to take an additional US$4, which is the entrance fee on to the island. Take the correct amount - there’s never any change.

It’s fringed with a lovely white sand beach and a small coral reef, making it ideal for a spot of snorkelling and sunbathing. You can hire masks and fins once you’ve landed.

Welcome Zanzibar with FeelAtHome!!

The spice Islands of Zanzibar (also called Unguja and Pemba) and surrounding islets that together form Zanzibar are certainly one of the most attractive and restful locations in the world.
With its Indian, Arab, Persian and Portuguese influences, Zanzibar is a cocktail of culture, people, tradition and colour. Combine this with its natural beauty, tropical climate and laid back atmosphere, Zanzibar is, in our opinion, one of the best ways to begin or end your Tan

Zanzibar ne serait pas exactement la même sans :

 Ses épices traditionnelles telles que la cardamome, la cannelle, les clous de girofle, la noix muscade, le poivre noir, la vanille, la citronnelle, et toutes les autres épices cultivées par les anciens Sultans d’Oman.

 Ses fruits tropicaux : le fruit du jacquier, de l’arbre à pain, les ananas, les bananes, les mangues, les noix de coco, les papayes, le fruit du jambosier, et tant d’autres.

The Importance of "Going Local" in Adventure Sports Travel

Posted by Alex Narracott on April 3, 2010 at 9:46pm

As the local travel movement gathers pace (www.localtravelmovement.com), and debates rage, we thought it was time to wade-in with the adventure sports perspective and suggest a few other good reasons why participants have plenty to gain from following a 'go local' approach.

Whatever your interests and motives for travelling, the benefits of local travel are well documented and often screamingly obvious - get to know the real people and places you are visiting, and ensure your trip provides maximu

A Pre-Travel Tipping Tip

Posted by James Krebsbach on April 3, 2010 at 2:54pm

How many times have all of us reached into our pockets for some money to tip a baggage handler, tour guide etc. and all we have are large bills. My wife came up with the idea of before leaving on any of our trips, that we go to the bank and in our case (United States) get 100 one dollar bills. Then we make sure that we have some of them with us where ever we go.. We have found that tipping in most countries can be your home currency, especially if it is dollars or euros. It has simplified our ti

Shipboard credit aboard Cruise Ships

Posted by James Krebsbach on April 2, 2010 at 2:04pm

I recently learned that two cruise line companies offer shipboard credit if you own at least one hundred shares of stock in their Corporation. The two cruise line companies are Carnival and all of its lines and Royal Caribbean. The amount of ship board credit varies by length of cruise. Information can be found by using the search function on their web sites.

Cruise Bargains

Posted by James Krebsbach on April 2, 2010 at 1:30pm

Although we had not thought of booking a transatlantic this spring, lo and behold an email arrives from Princess and the price was too good to pass up. Princess informed us of a special price of $699 for a 16 day transatlantic cruise that leaves on April 19th. The cruise leaves Ft Lauderdale, with stops in Madeira, Rome, Livorno, Genoa, Sardinia, Gibraltar and Monte Carlo before arriving in Barcelona. The flight back from Barcelona was actually as much as the cruise, but even with the flight it

Cancun Caribe Park Royal Grand: Good Eats and Fine Cuisine Right on the Beach

Cancun Caribe Park Royal Grand

I had the great fortune of joining other bloggers on a sponsored trip to Cancun’s Caribe Park Royal Grand right on the wide open powder white beach overlooking turquoise Caribbean surf. This all inclusive is the primo retreat for a fun-in-the sun holiday.

The perfection starts with their two lavish pools. One is an activities oriented DJ-hosted pool with a walkup bar where efficient tenders gregariously churn out the margaritas and rum and cokes. Poolside bingo, chic

Sports Tourism Big in Africa this Summer

It is set to be a year of massive sporting events, 2010 kicked off with the Winter Olympics in Whistler, and the whole world is anticipating the FIFA World Cup in South Africa this summer. There are many economic and social benefits to hosting international events. Whistler attracted 250,000 visitors to the area and $10 billion in revenues.

21st Amendment Brewery: The Epitome of Craft Ale

21st Amendment Brewery's Hell or High Watermelon Wheat Beer...Genuine Refreshment!

First, an explanation about where 21st Amendment Brewery gets its name. The turn of the 20th century witnessed thousands of small breweries operating across America. Just in San Francisco alone there were about 40 breweries within the city limits. By comparison, today there are eight with a population more than double what it was in 1900. These breweries not only served great tasting beers but also captured the ess

Sustainable Tourism: Educational Field Trip for Local Secondary School Students in Nigeria

Having read some shocking stories about Jos town in central Nigeria over the past few weeks, I would like to also bring you some positive news about the country, to counter these generalisations which give the impression of the whole of Nigeria being a violent country.

In Oyo state, in the South-East of the country, our local expert in Nigeria, Fasoranti Oluseyi Taiwo is organising an educational youth project to increase the awareness of secondary school students towards or about the concept of
