Exploring Stone Town, Zanzibar
Zanzibar is a Tanzanian archipelago off the coast of East Africa. On its main island, Unguja, familiarly called Zanzibar, is Stone Town, a historic trade center with Swahili and Islamic influences. Its winding lanes present minarets, carved doorways and 19th-century landmarks. The archipelago is also known as The Spice Islands
The main island is about 85 km long and 39 km wide, with an area of 1,464 km2.
Stone town of Zanzibar is the old part of Zanzibar city which is the main city of Zanzibar in Tanzania. Its architecture mostly dating back to the 19 century century reflects diverse influences underlying the Swahili culture giving it a unique mixture of Arab Persian Indian and European elements and for this reason the town was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in the year 2000. Due to its heritage, stone town is also a major visitor attraction in Tanzania and a large part of the economy depends on tourism related activities.
The heart of Stone Town mostly consists of a maze of narrow alleys lined by houses, shops, bazaars and mosques. Since most streets are too narrow for cars, the town is crowded with bicycles and motorbikes. The seafront has wider streets and larger, more regularly placed buildings.
Stone Town's architecture has a number of distinctive features, as a result of Arab, Persian, Indian, European, and African traditions mixing together. The name "Stone Town" comes from the ubiquitous use of coral stone as the main construction material; this stone gives the town a characteristic, reddish warm colour.
Stone Town is punctuated with major historical buildings, several of which are found on the seafront; these include former palaces of the sultans, fortifications, churches, mosques, and other institutional buildings.
While Stone Town was included in UNESCO's World Heritage Sites in 2000, this designation does not provide complete protection for the town's heritage. Despite the establishment of a Conservation Authority, about 80% of the 1,709 buildings of Stone Town are in a deteriorating condition. As coral stone is very friable, frequent maintenance is needed for most of these buildings. Some major restoration projects (especially on the seafront) have been done in recent times.

Will always be lake monger to all of us I am sick to death of these name changes that we can't pronounce and have no proof whatsoever what it used to be called what a joke
Cool hotel , wow Freddie Mercury 😎 thank you VB Ed for tour best wishes Bowstar
That's cool you were able to tack on a visit to Zanzibar. The hotel and beach were very nice. Congrats on such a successful video documentary of your safari adventure, Ed!
Never go near ouija boards. You are communicating with evil angels who impersonate the dead. You are inviting evil into your home, they have a portal now😉
Zabzibar has always sounded exotic and romantic to me. Fantastic hotel and Stone Town looks amazing. Thanks for taking the time to film your trip, it was very interesting to follow your journey. These are places I will never get to see myself.
@@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen G’day Marc. Zanzibar was not what I imagined it to be. I would have liked to stay there longer and see the offshore prison and an island nearby inhabited by giant tortoises. This was the last video in my East Africa playlist.
Reminds me of flying from Carnavon to Perth LOL
I can understand a small country town having a very basic airport but a major regional city ?
Did you survive?
Good Question ?
Just amazing to see , so open , airport freedom
"Airport Freedom" ? That sounds both good and scary.
Quite the unusual airport Ed! Weird the seating area is outside practically on the tarmac.
Very weird indeed, George. I found waiting at the edge of the tarmac was exciting.
Not so unlike the Gold Coast airport in the 70s. First time I ever flew too; was from Gold Coast to Melbourne. We had to walk out on the tarmac to board the plane too; I think it was a 727.
@@JediJan it sounds like Tanzania is 50 years behind Queensland. WOW ! Queensland is 20 years behind Western Australia. lol.
hahahaha nice airport 🤣🤣🤣
@@jeroenoppers73 Thanks Jeroen.
Great to experience another tribe with you. The corn flour grinding looks like hard work, as does the metalsmithing. The mens' hopping dance was cool.
Love the singing and dancing, fantastic work they do , thank you for sharing best wishes Bowstar
@@bowstarchannel Thanks Bow Star old mate.,
G'day Ed, Good stuff ! Wouldn't they let the blokes have a go at Grinding the Flour ? And how come you didn't video your "Try anything once..." Mate Having a crack at bouncing up & down like a Human Pogo Stick ? Not even a Selfie of yourself While hopping up & down...? (That would have given your Phone's Image Stabilisation Circuits a really hard time though...!). Every time I see your Video of locals trying to showcase their traditional Way Of Life for the Tourists..., on the one hand I see every Aborigine trying to make a living by Dancing for Overseas Tourists and selling them Injection-moulded Plastic Boomerangs from India, and a Rainbow-Serpent Cotton Teatowel printed in China.... On the other hand, I see the Peddlers of "Traditional Celtic ......." (Fill in the Blank..., Tattoos, Shoes, Kilts, Bagpipes, Sgian Dubhs, Claymores & Haggis-Sandwiches...; all at the Kilted Keltic Klowns Konvention, held annually at the Australian Keltic Standing Stones (Slivers).... Och-Aye....(!). My prediction is that Soon..., Everybody who Edit. ....... who owes money and is committed to paying Interest on a Loan, dependant on a "Busyness" engaged in the Tourist "Industry" - They'll be forced to default and then be foreclosed on, as Globally, Commercial Profitability dwindles and disappears right across the EcoGnomie ; meaning that the Supply of cashed-up Norms & Yuppies who can afford to Travel Vast distances to Pay To gawp admiringly at their little Provincial Tourist Traps..., Is forever Dwindling - As Prosperity All fades away. With every passing day. You captured the End of an Era, I reckon. Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;- Ciao !
@@WarblesOnALot G’day Warbles. As you know, I work as a tax agent. I get to see people financial affairs. From my observations from my client base is that even though mortgage repayments and the cost of living is creating financial strain, people always seam to find money to go on overseas holidays. Maybe my clients are mainly cashed up FIFO workers. They always seam to have money to spend on expensive toys and holidays. In Australia, whenever a travel company collapses, new ones always fill the in void to satisfy demand. The Travel company I went on Safari with “Intrepid Travel” are an Australian Company who organise adventure holidays all over the world. I looked at their financial statements which are public and they seam to be in good financial health. I’m currently looking at one of their trips to Antarctica. There are no locals there selling their trinkets to tourists.
@@VBEd666 Well, my guess is that unless Canberra wants to subsidise Rex Aviation to continue all it's Regional Feeder-Liner Routes, then Nobody will be Sufficiently stupid as to try to set up any Replacement Airline - because the Actual DEMAND for the Service is far too low to be able to operate a Commercial Airliner on a Regular Schedule - merely to better convenience a couple of Professional Locum GPs covering tinpot little Hospitals on the Weekends - WHILE all the Drs living in the Town employing Locums are themselves away getting $2,000/day Pulling Locum Duty 150 miles away in Coffs Harbour. Put the Trains back on the Tracks, Roster ALL the GP's in Town as Visiting Medical Officers at the local Hospital - so that they work their assigned Shifts On-Call, or they don't get to refer ANY of their Patients to the Public Hospital for Admission under themself. Society will cope OK when the Airliners stop taking-off and landing for the Convenience of Tourist Trap Operators... But I doubt that the habitual Tourist-Trappers and Sheeple-Fleecers Will cope at all well with the Transition. And, yeah, FIFO Miners will be the Last to be effected...; But you might want to ask all the Nickel-Miners on your List How it feels to be Unemployed...,(?). BHP announced that they're Mothballing all their Nickel Mines & Smelters. Just(ifiably ?) sayin'. Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !
Glad you survived that misadventure Ed! And a good thing you didn't break down in the middle of lion territory! See you in the next one.
@@GeorgePencilArt G’day George. The reality is that tourists never get attacked by lions when they are on Safari in Africa. I’ve never heard or read about any cases. There might be the possibility that the locals keep attacks quiet to protect their tourist industry ?
G'day Ed, Yay Team ! Tell the truth mate - you were hoping for a final re-run of your old Epic 3 Tyres & a Steel-Rim Setup, to gain that Western Goldfields Perspective on trekking the Tourist-Tracks of EffriKa (?). Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !
@@WarblesOnALot G’day Warbles. It so happened that during our evening dinner, Vince told the African crew about our Holland Track video on UA-cam. The crew watched it and were impressed by his tyre changing ability. They asked him with his experience, why didn’t he help them ? To this day that 4WD trip haunts me. Vince constantly asks me to do it again but I’m not interested. No way.
@@VBEd666 Ah, really ? Why would that be ? I thought you would be super keen to get back out there - and be able to rely on stuffing your punctured Tyre-Cases with Spinifex Grass ; so as to re-run the Process in true pioneering old fashioned Q.A.N.T.A S. style....(lol) Somehow, between Vince's Planning & Logistics Skills, going Bush with mismatched Wheels & insufficient Spares to be able to change Flats, with no way to tackle a Puncture at all (and no grasp of how to revert to weird stuff which has historically saved the day in such cases....) - and when that is Cross-Referenced with that trick of trying to open a Green Hard Fruit by putting it in a Rock & punching it to see how much that hurt his hand...; I'm wondering if you keep him around for purposes of Comedy in such matters (?). Does he cook people's Books garnished with little flourishes like those ? You'd better not take him SCUBA Diving or Parachuting ; what if he insists on maintaining his own Equipment (?) ! "Owww ! "Shit, that really bloody hurt ! "Why didn't you stop me from doing that, ya Bastard ; fcuk - it really bloody hurts..., Boo-hoo sob-sob whinge whine moan-grown /, Poor poor pitiful little Sore-Hand Man...!" Or words to that effect. Take him to a Brothel, and then laugh at what he goes home with, kinda thing...(?) ! Schadenfreude on a Leash, trotting along, eagerly looking forward to the next Prat-Fall ? Even Homer Simpson doesn't say to Marge, "Doh..., That hurt ; why didn't you stop me from hurting myself - you ONLY told me not to do it Three times. How could you let me go and hurt myself like that, Ya horrible Bar Steward....?!?! I tend to leave people like that at home, when I go away on holidayze, lol (!). Such is life, Have a good one.. Such is life, Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !
That must've been quite an ordeal! Middle of nowhere, it's hot, no shade, wild and hungry animals out there...glad you made it!
@@evancortez2 G’day Evan. The thought of getting eaten did cross my mind when I wondered off to have a pee.
They should have had a force multiplier in the boot. Those things are amazing at getting off over tightened wheel nuts. Got one for the Coaster and it makes getting big wheels off a doddle. This is certainly a trip you won't forget in a hurry :) Looks amazing.
@@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen G’day Marc. It was a trip of a lifetime. I’m planning a trip to explore more of Africa in the future.
Did you survive?
@@noswonky only just.
Some fantastic views up there!
So many amazing wildlife images it's hard to name them all and stay brief. I enjoyed seeing all of them!
It is overwhelming George.
I hope tourists should not be anywhere near a native!!!!
@@rafaelbaligod5196 The native village in this video is in my opinion fake. Totally setup for tourist dollars.
G'day Ed, Great stuff mate...! When places like that exist, with Elephants, Zebras, Hippo's & all the rest of the Fauna..., with all the Infrastructure to employ lots of Locals catering to, accommodating, guiding and guarding a constant stream of Tourists...; it's not difficult to see why so very many of the Australian Tourist-Trap Busyness-Models (Cargo-Cults based in unrealistic fantasies & delusional ambitions...) go broke several times Between being constructed, And being bulldozed in order to make the Land Marketable. Either the "Attraction" is Cheap tatty tawdry Facade-ism at it's worst, Or there's Nothing to actually see Or to do..., When the tourists actually arrive. At least you got to see Wildlife, And had a few (apparently staged ,& scripted) charming little Cultural Encounters. Here, between the Australian Celtic Standing Stones (Slivers) in Glen Innes, and the Big Everything's - all descended from Coffs Harbour's "Big Banana" - which in 1970 really did look BIG..., being the only Built thing on the Bannana-covered Hill beside the Highway. Today it's still there, still trading, totally built out & around by ever bigger newer and shinier Tourist-Traps...; None of which seem to be appealing to anyone more grown-up than an average 6 year-old - (back in the dayze before Oz got TV...!). The Leyland Brothers' Concrete scale-model of "Ayres Rock" also comes to mind, big time...(!). Outside of Sydney, On the old (Deathtrap) Highway to Gosford - beside "Olde Sydney Town"...; They both folded up when the Old Road was finally bypassed by the Freeway. At least EffriKa Has Heffalumps...! Keep on keeping on. Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !
G'day Warbles. Before any place plays the tourism card, they seriously need to ask if they have anything of value to offer tourists. The biggest tourist trap in WA is the town of Broome. It costs big bucks to fly there and when there there is nothing to do. It only offers a beach, but WA has no shortage of white sandy beaches. All those Island resorts off the coast of Queensland all went broke. None of them really offered anything other than relaxation and relaxation is not a tourist attraction. After visiting East Africa, I am firmly committed to pursuing adventure holidays from now on. I cannot see myself going to Bali ever again. I am sick of wasting my money on relaxation holidays.
Wow just fantastic to see , This is one place I'd love to see myself, Thank you VBEd for sharing, full play ▶️ best wishes Bowstar
Its a fantastic place to see Bow Star. I would like to revisit this place again in the future.
Glad you enjoyed your visit with them! Congrats on hitting the target with the arrow.
@@GeorgePencilArt Thanks George. I flunked it.
G'day Ed, Yay Team ! Well done, William Tell - or is that Robin Hood ? On the point of "Importing Weapons" into Oz, Methinks thou hast Misunderconstumbled. Bows & Arrows are NOT "Prohibited Items" In any State or Territory of Oz... They require no Licence or Acquisition Permit - on the theory that by the time anyone develops the Skill required to hit anything, they will have developed the Self-restraint required such as to NOT go loosing Arrows Irresponsibly. Crossbows though, are a different Story. In 1968 someone hit and killed a random stranger, with a Crossbow, in Burwood Park in Sydney on a weekend afternoon, for Target Practice. And nobody knew where it came from, and the Hue & Cry was huge, so Crossbows were outlawed firstiez in NSW. Qld was the last to outlaw Crossbows, as part of Johnny Howard's Uniform National Weapons Regulation Push. So, I'm pretty sure that you could have brought ONE Bow & Arrow set, declared on Customs as a Souvenir, and Packed in your Suitcase booked into the 'Plane's Baggage Hold... One Knife, even a single souvenir matching Sword/Shield/Spear "Set" would be OK, treated that way. I surmise, based on what I know of the NSW & Oz Laws in Prohibited Weapons/Items. But I may be Wrong (!). Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !
@@WarblesOnALot You are a fountain of knowledge, Warbles. At the end of the day, I find all weapons to be repulsive. The only thing I would have liked to have purchased as a souvenir from Africa would have been a wooden sculpture. In the end, my only souvenirs were a few bottles of empty Tanzanian beer - Serengeti Larger and Kilimanjaro Larger.
Rest in peace Myu and Andrew they did not deserve to die, though they definitely were punished!
Wow Ed, this was an amazing segment. Such a wonderful variety of wildlife you captured. I enjoyed all the views and especially the elephant herd crossing the road, and the shots of the big cats.
@@GeorgePencilArt thanks George. When you go on a Safari in Africa, there is never a shortage of exotic animals to observe.
Fantastic job VB Ed , like the the way you chat on video, good information, full play ▶️ best wishes Bowstar 👍

@@WarblesOnALot When you pursue an adventure holiday, there is no comfort. If you seek comfort, you stay in a fenced off resort in Bali.
@@VBEd666 Absolutely ! A mate of mine went to Algeria, and hitch-hiked with a Camel Caravan across the Sahara, after which he kept going, through 36 Countries in a year with 34 of them being on the Continent of AfriKa. He had his "Everyday clothes" and his "Border-Crossing clothes", and he began in Morocco with a $US100 book of Travellers Cheques, which he burnt and reported asstolen, then had it re-issued in Francs, then the Francs got "stolen" and re-issued in Pounds Sterling, which were also "stolen" to become Marks, and then the Marks were "stolen" and they were re-issued as $US - which could be actually spent, as required. And then, when crossing Borders, Canada John could show the Guards his 3 books of unused English, French & German Cheques, plus the AmeriKan one's he was using. As long as one had more than $US200 they were considered to be rich enough to come in as Tourists. He still had $15 in US Money in the Book when he got to Zimbabwe and took a job shovelling Coal on a Steam-Locomotive - because he always had a Thing for Steamtrains. I think there were 50-something Countries between Kanadia and Oz, from 1970 to '75. He climbed Kilimanjaro and got 17,000 ft up the side of Everest - while walking from Tibet to Bhutan, And in between them - after West Pakistan, India, East Pakistan, Burma and Thailand...; in 1972, Canada John Hitch-hiked through Cambodia, Laos & South Vietnam...(!). Crossing Cambodia involved Helivoptering between two Loyalist Enclaves - going out over the Khmer-Rouge controlled Country, into which Sean Flynn (son of Erol Flynn, the Tasmanian Movie Star), ride on a Motor-Scooter and Vanished - at about the The same time Johnnie was Thumbing his way through, Going to Vietnam, "To have a look at their Wars..." After he died, crashing his Ultralight, I was collecting his "Effects" to send back to his father in Vancouver ; And I found, and handled, those 3 full and new - and one tattered battered almost used-up Books of Travellers' Cheques. Your AfriKan Safari, While rougher than Bali ; Looked a lot like "Glamping" (Glamorous Camping), To me, y' see. And, I bet it cost a shade more than the $85 US which Canada John spent on his epic crossing of the Continent. I made a video about him, titled, "REQUIEM FOR A REDHEAD..." It's in both my Warbles In The Wilderness, And Personal Aeroplanology Playlists... He was one of Kanadia's greatest Adventurers...; and he died in what amounted to being a Spintaneous Kamikaze Attack On a Sheep...(!). Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

excellent mate, pretty amazing those balloons, they must be fireproof eh :)
@@johnblack9582 Cheers mate. Is the balloon fabric fire proof ? That is a bloody good question ?
nice Ed man...at 49 years of age Hot Air Balloon rides are not on my bucket list yet 👍 mitchell
G’day Mitchell. Fair Enough. Of our 15 person touring group, only 6 people took up the hot air ballon opportunity.
Wow ride of a lifetime on a balloon 🎈 fantastic I always knew you were full of hot air 😆 🤣 😂 thank you for sharing Bowstar
