Day 102 – Monkeys, mangroves and the Rock

We woke up a bit late today and had to get ready quickly for our excursion. The hotel organised a driver for us, Dullah. Dullah was a large, jolly guy and we loved his car. The car is a large, white minivan with very comfortable seats, tinted windows and passenger-controlled air conditioning.

Our first stop was the Jozani national forest. It houses the endangered Zanzibar red colobus monkey, which is only found on the main island of Zanzibar. We joined a group of other tourists for a short walk through the forest. Unlike the previous primate treks we’ve been on, there was a set path for us to follow. However, the path was not very easy to navigate as there were bits of coral rock and tree branches sticking out of it. Interestingly, the subsurface of Jozani is coral rock, the same kind of rock that is used to build the buildings in Stonetown. ‘Coral rock’ is limestone with coral embedded in it.

After a few minutes, we came across a Sykes monkey. One even came right up to J and ran off before running away. S got within six inches of one, which was hanging onto a tree at head level and was able to see it. Next, we saw the famous Zanzibar red colobus monkey. It’s a really funny-looking animal, see picture below. They are apparently called ‘colobus’ because they do not have opposable thumbs.

We then hopped back into our car with Dulla and were driven to a mangrove forest. S has seen mangroves before as they grow in Florida. They are able to grow in salt water, brackish water and mud. It was really interesting to see their roots coming out of the mud. Our guide explained that they are protected by the government as they protect against erosion. Our guide said there were no bad spirits here and, more importantly for J, allegedly there are no mosquitoes, standing water aside.

Dulla then took us to the Rock restaurant. It is one of the main attractions on the island. The Rock is a small restaurant built on top of a large rock. It is located on a beach and is only accessible by foot during low tide. By the time we arrived, it was heading toward mid-tide. We ended up having to take our shoes off and waded up to our knees in water (and sea grass) to get to the restaurant. We were seated at a nice table next to the open-air lounge area, so there was a good breeze. There were a lot of tourists. We heard Russian, German, American English, Italian, French and some other languages we could not identify (probably Eastern European).

The menu was mostly seafood. S had the fish carpaccio and crab spaghetti. J had the warm octopus and vegetable salad and the beef filet skewer. The portion sizes were large and the food was decent. J even went for a dessert, the flambéd pineapple, so she could try the Zanzibar vanilla ice cream. It didn’t taste like straight vanilla – it tasted like cinnamon.

By the time we were ready to leave the Rock, the tide had come in a bit more and the water around the Rock had gotten too deep, so it was no longer possible to walk all the way back to the beach. We ended up getting onto a long boat, which the boatman turned around so we could walk out on the other side. That still involved stepping into a foot of water and walking to shore. Apparently when the tide comes in further, the boat actually has to take you to shore, as opposed to walking through it.

Dulla drove us back to the hotel. We went to the bar to have a couple of drinks and catch up on admin.

Dinner was at the Beach House, a nearby restaurant owned by the Park Hyatt. We started with a couple of cocktails, which were delicious and reasonably priced. We were given some spicy popcorn to nibble on while we waited for our mains. S had the Zanzibar Mix Urojo soup, which is a tasty broth accompanied by a selection of items to put into your soup, including a ‘mishkaki’ chicken skewer, potato, tomato, casava, hardboiled egg, red pepper and some sauces. The server was impressed when S finished it. J had the kuku wa kupaka, which was cooked chicken thighs and legs in a coconut sauce. The food and wine were good. We finished with two more excellent cocktails. J’s delicious Gin & Tonic had hibiscus and passionfruit in it. She even got the recipe from the bartender so she could ask the Park Hyatt bartender to make it. This was necessary as we closed the bar and had to return to the hotel. The Beach House bar is better than the Park Hyatt bar.

Unfortunately, when we returned to the Park Hyatt, the bartender told us he didn’t have the ingredients to make the G&T. J ordered an African or ‘masala tea’ instead. The bartenders clearly aren’t used to making this tea as it was really just milk with some tea bags in it. S went with a safer choice – a classic Tom Collins, but said it was quite sweet.

18 Days Trekking Safari and Zanzibar

A trip to Zanzibar is a great way to relax after climbing Kilimanjaro or after your wildlife safari.Kuwa Huru Tanzania Adventure provides an all-inclusive 6 days Kilimanjaro climb, 6 days safari and 5 days Zanzibar getaway package with four different levels of lodging to choose from. Day 1: Arrive in Marangu: We stay at Kilimanjaro Mountain Resort, which is a beautiful Hotel located on the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro and is a perfect place to prepare you for adventure. We will gather in the evening at 5:30 pm for a pre-climb briefing and an equipment check. We will also confirm you have the appropriate mandatory medical coverage and travel insurance. Dinner and overnight at Kilimanjaro Mountain Resort: Half board. Day 2: Rongai Camp One: After an early breakfast in Marangu, you will drive to the Rongai (Nalemoru) Gate near the Kenya border. We begin our climb on this unspoilt wilderness route. The walk then starts to climb consistently, but gently through attractive forest that shelters a variety of wildlife. The forest begins to thin out and the first camp is at the edge of the moorland zone (2600 m.) with extensive views over the Kenyan plains. The first day is only a half-day walk.  Day 3: Kikelelwa Camp: The morning walk is a steady ascend up to the ‘Second Cave’ (3,450 m.) with superb views of Kibo and the Eastern icefields on the crater rim. After lunch, we leave the main trail and strike out across the moorland on a smaller path towards the jagged peaks of Mawenzi. Our “Upper Kikelewa” campsite is on a small plateau above a sheltered valley with giant senecios past Kikelewa Caves (3,750 m.) Day 4: Mawenzi Turn Hut: A short but steep climb up grassy slopes is rewarded by superb all round views and a tangible sense of wilderness. We leave vegetation behind shortly before reaching the next camp at “Mawenzi” (4,300 m.), spectacularly situated beneath the towering spires of Mawenzi. The afternoon will be free to rest or explore the surrounding area as an aid to acclimatisation. Day 5: Kibo Hut: We cross the lunar desert of the saddle between Mawenzi and Kibo to reach Kibo Hut (15,400 ft) at the bottom of the crater wall. The remainder of the day is spent resting in preparation for an early morning final ascent. Day 6: Summit walk: We start the final and most demanding part of the climb by torchlight around 1 a.m. We plod very slowly in the darkness on a switchback trail through loose volcanic scree to reach the crater rim at Gillman’s Point (18,600 ft). We rest here for a short time to enjoy the spectacular sunrise over Mawenzi. Those who are still feeling strong can make the three-hour round trip to Uhuru Peak (19,345 ft), passing close to the spectacular glaciers and ice cliffs that still occupy most of the summit area. The descent to Kibo Hut (15,400 ft) is surprisingly fast and, after some refreshments, we continue the descent to Horombo Huts (12,200 ft). Day 7: Horombo Hut Down to Marangu Gate: A steady descend takes us down through moorland to Mandara Hut (2,700m.), the first stopping place at the Marangu route. We then continue descending through lovely lush forest on a good path to the National Park gate at Marangu (1,830 m.). . Dinner and overnight at Arusha Safari Lodge: Half board. Safari Day 8: Game drive in Tarangire National Park: Today we drive to Tarangire National Park, for excellent game viewing. Tarangire is a small park which offers some excellent sights. Generally in the dry seasons Tarangire comes alive as wildlife and birdlife congregate on the Tarangire River, which is a permanent source of water. We spend the night in our lodge beautifully set inside the park with stunning views and a unique atmosphere. In the late afternoon we make a short journey from the park to our special lodge. Dinner and overnight at Kirurumo Lodge: Full board. Day 9: Game drive in Serengeti National Park: We head towards the Serengeti National Park. En route there is an opportunity to visit Olduvai Gorge. It is within this steep sided ravine that Louis and Mary Leakey made some of the world’s most important archaeological discoveries in the 1950s. Here in a small museum we are able to see evidence of our ancestors that have been dated back 2.5 million years. After lunch we drive into the Serengeti itself and the rest of the afternoon is spent game viewing in the vast plains that are broken only by stands of acacia trees and the occasional kopje. In December, January and February we will normally meet the migration with large herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle. There are always plenty of resident animals, such as giraffe, buffalo, and elephant, and many large predators such as lion, cheetah, and leopard. We return to our special tented camp for the night. Dinner and overnight at Serengeti Lobo Wildlife Lodge: Full board. Day 10: Game drive in Serengeti National Park: We have another full day in this wonderful park, rising early to make the most of our time. Our guides will choose the best spotting locations for the time of year; we can spend time at the Hippo pool watching these majestic animals laze about in the cool water happily living alongside the crocodiles, watch a big pride of lions, be in the middle of the migration, sometimes surrounded by wildebeest, sometimes by zebras, which travel with the wildebeest. We journey from the wide open plains to the kopjes: these volcanic rocky outcrops provide protection and shelter for a wide variety of animals and from the top we can look out across the vast grasslands of the Serengeti. This diverse and interesting landscape will provide us with the ultimate in game viewing, we will hopefully see all of the plain games; elephants, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, lions and it you are lucky the elusive leopard and cheetah, as well as huge amounts of interesting bird life, from the elegant secretary birds to the flightless ostrich. We return to our special tented camp for the night. Dinner and overnight at Serengeti Lobo Wildlife Lodge: Full board. Day 11: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater: We start the day with an early morning game drive before heading to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Ngorongoro is a special place in that it is a Conservation Area, not a National Park; this means that the whole area is managed for both the animals and the local Masai people who graze their cattle alongside the indigenous wildlife. During the drive in Ngorongoro we have a chance to glimpse something of the Masai way of life. After stopping at the entrance gate, where there is a chance to learn more about this fascinating volcanic landscape, we will drive around the rim of the Crater itself, and from here we can look down and see the herd of wildebeest or buffalos. Finally we descend into the crater. The crater walls provide a natural sanctuary for the animals, which means there is plenty to see: lions, elephants, buffalo, rhino and leopard (if you are lucky). The only animal you won’t see in here is a giraffe, whose long legs are unable to cope with the steeps sides of the crater. In the late afternoon we travel back to our special tented camp. Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge: Full board. Day 12: A full day game drive in Ngorongoro Crater. Today we will descend 2000 feet (over 600 meters) to the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater for your crater tour. Here you we will explore the forest areas inhabited by monkeys and elephants, the lake area, where we may see flamingos. We will also visit the open savannah where the lions hunt. Picnic lunch will be served in the crater. In late afternoon we make a short journey to your Lodge. Dinner and overnight at Kirurumo Lodge: Full board. Day 13: Game drive in Lake Manyara National Park: We depart from your lodge and proceed to Lake Manyara National Park. Although small in size, this park is one of the most diverse reserves in the country. Lake Manyara covers two thirds of the park. At the backdrop is the wall of the Great Rift Valley, before which lies the ground water forest, areas of open grassland near the lake foreshore, and the Soda Lake. We enjoy a picnic lunch in this area, which consists of open grassy areas, hot springs, dense woodlands and steep mountainsides. Lake Manyara National Park is a birding paradise that has more than 350 species of bird. The park is also famed for its unique and elusive tree-climbing lions. After lunch time we will drive direct to Kilimanjaro International Airport for the evening flight. Day 14: Arrive in Zanzibar. Arrival at Zanzibar Airport anytime you will meet us at the airport and pick up with private transfer to Stone town. Dinner and overnight at Tembo Hotel: Half board. Day 15: Guided trip in Stone town. Your program starts with a morning visit by walk on our Historical Stone Town Tour. This tour takes you through fabled Stone Town, where history appears to stand still. With visits to the House of Wonders, the Palace Museum (People's Palace) and the Arab Fort amongst others, it is a fascinating look at the essence of Zanzibar. You will see Zanzibar's bustling market, winding alleyways, ornately carved and studded doors, two cathedrals and countless mosques! Dinner and overnight stay at Tembo Hotel: Half board. Day 16: Spice farm and  Jozani Forest trip. Today you go on an excursion to the spice and fruit plantations close to Stone town for the famous Spice Tour. We have developed a special Spice Tour with in depth information not only about spices, but also organically grown herbs and a detailed description about their traditional uses in medicine cosmetics and cooking. After the tour we invite for an opulent lunch at our guides' home, where you can taste the spices and fruits. After lunch we take you to your beach resort. On the way you pass Jozani Forest, the last habitat of the rare endemic Red Colobus Monkey. With a local guide you stroll through Jozani Chwaka National Park and look at the rare monkeys. If you wish you can even wander down the boardwalk to the fascinating Mangrove Ecosystem. . Dinner and overnight stay at Tembo Hotel: Half board. Day 17: Dolphin Trip. One day you go to an excursion to Kizimkazi. Situated on the southern point of the island, Kizimkazi fishing village is home to several schools of bottle-nosed dolphins and Humpback dolphins, which can often be sighted following a short boat trip from the village. If you are lucky, you may be able to swim quite close to the dolphins, which can be a very rewarding experience. We are doing this trip in the afternoon to avoid the crowds of tourists in the morning, which in big numbers disturbing the dolphins. Dinner and overnight stay at Tembo Hotel: Half board. Day 18: Departure day. Depending on your flight schedule and departure point you will be transferred to the Zanzibar Airport to take a flight back home.

18 Days Trekking Safari and Zanzibar

A trip to Zanzibar is a great way to relax after climbing Kilimanjaro or after your wildlife safari.Kuwa Huru Tanzania Adventure provides an all-inclusive 6 days Kilimanjaro climb, 6 days safari and 5 days Zanzibar getaway package with four different levels of lodging to choose from. Day 1: Arrive in Marangu: We stay at Kilimanjaro Mountain Resort, which is a beautiful Hotel located on the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro and is a perfect place to prepare you for adventure. We will gather in the evening at 5:30 pm for a pre-climb briefing and an equipment check. We will also confirm you have the appropriate mandatory medical coverage and travel insurance. Dinner and overnight at Kilimanjaro Mountain Resort: Half board. Day 2: Rongai Camp One: After an early breakfast in Marangu, you will drive to the Rongai (Nalemoru) Gate near the Kenya border. We begin our climb on this unspoilt wilderness route. The walk then starts to climb consistently, but gently through attractive forest that shelters a variety of wildlife. The forest begins to thin out and the first camp is at the edge of the moorland zone (2600 m.) with extensive views over the Kenyan plains. The first day is only a half-day walk.  Day 3: Kikelelwa Camp: The morning walk is a steady ascend up to the ‘Second Cave’ (3,450 m.) with superb views of Kibo and the Eastern icefields on the crater rim. After lunch, we leave the main trail and strike out across the moorland on a smaller path towards the jagged peaks of Mawenzi. Our “Upper Kikelewa” campsite is on a small plateau above a sheltered valley with giant senecios past Kikelewa Caves (3,750 m.) Day 4: Mawenzi Turn Hut: A short but steep climb up grassy slopes is rewarded by superb all round views and a tangible sense of wilderness. We leave vegetation behind shortly before reaching the next camp at “Mawenzi” (4,300 m.), spectacularly situated beneath the towering spires of Mawenzi. The afternoon will be free to rest or explore the surrounding area as an aid to acclimatisation. Day 5: Kibo Hut: We cross the lunar desert of the saddle between Mawenzi and Kibo to reach Kibo Hut (15,400 ft) at the bottom of the crater wall. The remainder of the day is spent resting in preparation for an early morning final ascent. Day 6: Summit walk: We start the final and most demanding part of the climb by torchlight around 1 a.m. We plod very slowly in the darkness on a switchback trail through loose volcanic scree to reach the crater rim at Gillman’s Point (18,600 ft). We rest here for a short time to enjoy the spectacular sunrise over Mawenzi. Those who are still feeling strong can make the three-hour round trip to Uhuru Peak (19,345 ft), passing close to the spectacular glaciers and ice cliffs that still occupy most of the summit area. The descent to Kibo Hut (15,400 ft) is surprisingly fast and, after some refreshments, we continue the descent to Horombo Huts (12,200 ft). Day 7: Horrombo Hut Down to Marangu Gate: A steady descend takes us down through moorland to Mandara Hut (2,700m.), the first stopping place at the Marangu route. We then continue descending through lovely lush forest on a good path to the National Park gate at Marangu (1,830 m.). . Dinner and overnight at Arusha Safari Lodge: Half board. Safari Day 8: Game drive in Tarangire National Park: Today we drive to Tarangire National Park, for excellent game viewing. Tarangire is a small park which offers some excellent sights. Generally in the dry seasons Tarangire comes alive as wildlife and birdlife congregate on the Tarangire River, which is a permanent source of water. We spend the night in our lodge beautifully set inside the park with stunning views and a unique atmosphere. In the late afternoon we make a short journey from the park to our special lodge. Dinner and overnight at Kirurumo Lodge: Full board. Day 9: Game drive in Serengeti National Park: We head towards the Serengeti National Park. En route there is an opportunity to visit Olduvai Gorge. It is within this steep sided ravine that Louis and Mary Leakey made some of the world’s most important archaeological discoveries in the 1950s. Here in a small museum we are able to see evidence of our ancestors that have been dated back 2.5 million years. After lunch we drive into the Serengeti itself and the rest of the afternoon is spent game viewing in the vast plains that are broken only by stands of acacia trees and the occasional kopje. In December, January and February we will normally meet the migration with large herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle. There are always plenty of resident animals, such as giraffe, buffalo, and elephant, and many large predators such as lion, cheetah, and leopard. We return to our special tented camp for the night. Dinner and overnight at Serengeti Lobo Wildlife Lodge: Full board. Day 10: Game drive in Serengeti National Park: We have another full day in this wonderful park, rising early to make the most of our time. Our guides will choose the best spotting locations for the time of year; we can spend time at the Hippo pool watching these majestic animals laze about in the cool water happily living alongside the crocodiles, watch a big pride of lions, be in the middle of the migration, sometimes surrounded by wildebeest, sometimes by zebras, which travel with the wildebeest. We journey from the wide open plains to the kopjes: these volcanic rocky outcrops provide protection and shelter for a wide variety of animals and from the top we can look out across the vast grasslands of the Serengeti. This diverse and interesting landscape will provide us with the ultimate in game viewing, we will hopefully see all of the plain games; elephants, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, lions and it you are lucky the elusive leopard and cheetah, as well as huge amounts of interesting bird life, from the elegant secretary birds to the flightless ostrich. We return to our special tented camp for the night. Dinner and overnight at Serengeti Lobo Wildlife Lodge: Full board. Day 11: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater: We start the day with an early morning game drive before heading to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Ngorongoro is a special place in that it is a Conservation Area, not a National Park; this means that the whole area is managed for both the animals and the local Masai people who graze their cattle alongside the indigenous wildlife. During the drive in Ngorongoro we have a chance to glimpse something of the Masai way of life. After stopping at the entrance gate, where there is a chance to learn more about this fascinating volcanic landscape, we will drive around the rim of the Crater itself, and from here we can look down and see the herd of wildebeest or buffalos. Finally we descend into the crater. The crater walls provide a natural sanctuary for the animals, which means there is plenty to see: lions, elephants, buffalo, rhino and leopard (if you are lucky). The only animal you won’t see in here is a giraffe, whose long legs are unable to cope with the steeps sides of the crater. In the late afternoon we travel back to our special tented camp. Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge: Full board. Day 12: A full day game drive in Ngorongoro Crater. Today we will descend 2000 feet (over 600 meters) to the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater for your crater tour. Here you we will explore the forest areas inhabited by monkeys and elephants, the lake area, where we may see flamingos. We will also visit the open savannah where the lions hunt. Picnic lunch will be served in the crater. In late afternoon we make a short journey to your Lodge. Dinner and overnight at Kirurumo Lodge: Full board. Day 13: Game drive in Lake Manyara National Park: We depart from your lodge and proceed to Lake Manyara National Park. Although small in size, this park is one of the most diverse reserves in the country. Lake Manyara covers two thirds of the park. At the backdrop is the wall of the Great Rift Valley, before which lies the ground water forest, areas of open grassland near the lake foreshore, and the Soda Lake. We enjoy a picnic lunch in this area, which consists of open grassy areas, hot springs, dense woodlands and steep mountainsides. Lake Manyara National Park is a birding paradise that has more than 350 species of bird. The park is also famed for its unique and elusive tree-climbing lions. After lunch time we will drive direct to Kilimanjaro International Airport for the evening flight. Day 14: Arrive in Zanzibar. Arrival at Zanzibar Airport anytime you will meet us at the airport and pick up with private transfer to Stone town. Dinner and overnight at Tembo Hotel: Half board. Day 15: Guided trip in Stone town. Your program starts with a morning visit by walk on our Historical Stone Town Tour. This tour takes you through fabled Stone Town, where history appears to stand still. With visits to the House of Wonders, the Palace Museum (People's Palace) and the Arab Fort amongst others, it is a fascinating look at the essence of Zanzibar. You will see Zanzibar's bustling market, winding alleyways, ornately carved and studded doors, two cathedrals and countless mosques! Dinner and overnight stay at Tembo Hotel: Half board. Day 16: Spice farm and  Jozani Forest trip. Today you go on an excursion to the spice and fruit plantations close to Stone town for the famous Spice Tour. We have developed a special Spice Tour with in depth information not only about spices, but also organically grown herbs and a detailed description about their traditional uses in medicine cosmetics and cooking. After the tour we invite for an opulent lunch at our guides' home, where you can taste the spices and fruits. After lunch we take you to your beach resort. On the way you pass Jozani Forest, the last habitat of the rare endemic Red Colobus Monkey. With a local guide you stroll through Jozani Chwaka National Park and look at the rare monkeys. If you wish you can even wander down the boardwalk to the fascinating Mangrove Ecosystem. . Dinner and overnight stay at Tembo Hotel: Half board. Day 17: Dolphin Trip. One day you go to an excursion to Kizimkazi. Situated on the southern point of the island, Kizimkazi fishing village is home to several schools of bottle-nosed dolphins and Humpback dolphins, which can often be sighted following a short boat trip from the village. If you are lucky, you may be able to swim quite close to the dolphins, which can be a very rewarding experience. We are doing this trip in the afternoon to avoid the crowds of tourists in the morning, which in big numbers disturbing the dolphins. Dinner and overnight stay at Tembo Hotel: Half board. Day 18: Departure day. Depending on your flight schedule and departure point you will be transferred to the Zanzibar Airport to take a flight back home.
