Hey GRO,
You'll have to go to a restaurant/bar in Nairobi called The
Carnivore. They serve all sort of wild meats and local
foods. The bar is very popular and busy at night.
Hi, there is a very very nice night market in stone town
(zanzibar) every evening. You can eat little pieces of all
kinds of seafood and much more. Don't miss it, this is
really special!
A good hostel in Amsterdam which is close to the centre and
also pretty cheap, is a place called Bob's Youth Hostel. It
was 27fl per night with a fairly naff breakfast included.
For the location, look in any guide book (because I can't
remember the name of the road.
When your on Zanzibar, stay on the east coast somewhere
about the middle. I can't remember the name exactly but i
think its in the lonely planet. It's a bit of a trip over
their but once your their its absolutely beautiful. Maybe if
you've got long enough you could hire a motorbike for more
accessibility. Oh, and when you arrive just keep walking at
all times and don't stop and take any shit from the hordes
of scabs which wait by the gates.
If you are looking for the quiet life go to Paje and the
east coast. If you are accustomed to western company head
for Nungwe, on the north of the island, which is run by
South African divers and is heaving with tourists
For your true tropical experience go to Bwejuu on the East Coast. There are about 2 to three hotels there, but the Bwejuu Beach Resort is the best. Build from coral, it is the most awesome place one can be. When I was there three years ago, it costed about $5 per night and I was one of the 5 guests. Besides, there is a lagoon which is simply gorgeous. Do bring something to protect your feet though: the lagune is stocked with stitching sealife.
