Zanzibar

Weve been chilling in Nungwi for a few days of beach inaction! Not cheap and a bit overrun with exclusive Italian resorts but nice turquiose waters, cool dhow sailing boats, fishermen and white sand so all good. We were lucky enough to experience the monthly full moon party yesterday at Kendwa Rocks. It was a bit of a novel experience, unlike thailand or asian parties it had an entry charge of 5USD pp and a BBQ fee of 15USD pp with security guards securing the perimeter fence! We were warned not to take any valuables and not to walk back! even the locals dont take their phones as they will be gone by morning. Security risks aside it was funny hanging around with the few trustworthy Maasai men who migrate to Zanzibar for the tourists in high season, and only in Africa could the DJ get away with mixing the Lion King theme (A wimoway) into the pop hit Poker Face! The dance floor was packed and the Maasai in their full length robes and sticks would groove away with the best of them, even asking our Canadian friend to dance. Apparently they are quite the players as the white Mzungus love their tall slender looks! go figure...But it was cool nonetheless, but not the kind of Maasai you expect after watching Bruce Parrys Tribe series!
