    Hello Zanzibar

    Hello Zanzibar

    As the crew journey from Dar es Salaam, they take the over a 2-hour ferry ride to Zanzibar. BTW, the ferry ride would run you about $35. Bring cash, most places are cardless, and you will need to visit some of the limited ATMs on the island if you don't have cash. They reviewed the Airbnb, which was on the beach, and included the option for a private chef, who cooked for them on one of the nights they stayed in Zanzibar.
    The crew gave rave reviews of the excursion they did with Safari Blue Zanzibar. Asshur states that this was one of, if not the best, excursions that he's had. The spread of food was one of the highlights of this excursion. Do not forget to visit the famed Rock Restaurant. It is an experience you will never forget, with breathtaking views that will be etched in your memory.
    Furthermore, Stone Town is a must. Please make sure that you stay here maybe a few days, and explore. We stayed at Shoki Shoki House; it was not a bad experience, it is not luxurious but it was nice. If not here, there are tons of other places to select from. This hotel was centrally located to everything, particularly where you can see the famed guys jumping off the jetty. It is a must-see. Do a walking tour and also visit the Slave Market; this sacred space is both emotional and educational.
    Enjoy!

    Safari in Kenya?

    Safari in Kenya?

    Motherland Adventures founder Dave joins Asshur and Valone to talk about what you can expect on a visit to Kenya. He shares tips on various places you should consider if you are planning to visit Kenya. This east African country is famed for its scenic landscapes and vast wildlife preserves, and he shares all the info about what you should expect to see before visiting. 

    Dave shares that Kenya is the only country globally where within 20 minutes from the airport 10 minutes from the city center any traveler can have a safari experience at Nairobi National park. His point on the fact that you can be on a Safari in Nairobi and see sky scrapers in the background was extremely interesting. We would have never thought about this. 

    If you want a longer safari experience, Dave shares that you can plan to take a 3-5 day experience at Masai Mara national park. According to Dave, on a budget, a traveler can pay around USD 350 on the low end for a 3-day experience to Masi Mara. 

    Dave also talked about other destinations in Kenya that you should consider visiting, like Mombassa. Many people only think of Kenya for the big 5, and they do not think of the beach experience that you can have in Africa, after all, some of the best beaches in Africa are on the east coast! 

    Our conversation with Dave proves that Kenya may be worth a visit and it may not be all that expensive. He also shares that the prices you may see online for Safaris may be higher than they cost. If you are interested in visiting Kenya, head over to the Young Black Travelers Instagram page and speak with Dave (Motherland Adventures) to book your trip!

    Nonetheless, happy listening!
