Thomas, Zanzibar has been on my list since I was 8 years old and an avid NatGeo reader. I made a list of the 100 places in the world I want to travel to. Of course it was a different world in the early 1950's
. Not sure if I will travel with my wife or solo and there are a couple of other places under consideration. I would be interested in staying in Stone Town shooting people/Street/Culture. Coming from Goa, beaches, resorts, island hopping do not interest me.
I can fly Goa-Muscat-Zanzibar with a cool, free/cheap two day stop in Oman. Looking at Jun/July but trying to get better info on timing. If it moves to a definite plan I will PM you. I would probably skip hitting Game Parks in Tanzania since I have lived in Kenya for awhile and have been to Dar, Also means I can travel much lighter
. My wife is also cool with travelling light and happy with sitting in Cafes and watching the world. We both like interesting Bars with interesting people (she does like some Drink) .
Francis, many thanks. I rarely re-visit places from 40+ years ago. I have done a few and seems all have changed too much for me and my memories. I would not have anything to judge Zanzibar by. I do try and plan for low seasons and I am even used to Monsoons from living in several places with Monsoon seasons but not too sure about the "Long Rains" . Some health issues so my food and drink requirements are cheap
.
Cheers,
