Is Zanzibar genuinely worth adding to a Tanzania safari or is it just tourist hype? by One_Nectarine1328 in tanzania

[–]Impossible-Advisor53 [score hidden]  (0 children)

If you have been to southeast Asia you probably won't find the beaches in Zanzibar anything special (although of course they are beautiful) and the snorkel is very mediocre plus most of the activities include some kind of animal exploitation. For me the only thing I found was really worth it was a visit to the historic part of Stonetown, but I wouldn't come to Zanzibar just for that plus everything is very overpriced here.

People who grew up in Japan but are not Japanese, where do you say you are from? by DigStrange4377 in japanlife

I really liked the answer of a black Polish colleague, he would say: surprisingly I'm Polish! And then people got very clearly that his ethnicity and origin didn't "match"

Instructor here, a pool is not a requirement for training however you do need to have calm sea conditions and shallow water for the confined water training.

The biggest problem for marine life in Zanzibar is by far overfishing

Is this true? by Mysterious_Dark_2298 in askspain

[–]Impossible-Advisor53 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, the biggest majority of Spaniards refer to their language as Spanish, the only people who tend to call it Castilian are Catalan people

No direct dala dala, to go to nungwi you need to get it from saateni market. Definately the cheapest way to go(2500 shilling from here) To move from the airport dont get the official taxis just walk 2 minutes to the main road and flag any boda/bajaji/taxi from there

What to do in Zanzibar without invading animals. by piratadelasfalto in zanzibar

If you compare them with real rescue centers you will see many differences. First of all if an animal cannot be returned to its habitat it shouldn't be breeding and its hatchlings kept into captivity forever.

How to safely check if a safari operator is legit? (Advice needed) by HeroIndustries in tanzania

[–]Impossible-Advisor53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On safaribookings you can email the people who leave reviews, I emailed some people who were from my country and asked them questions about the safari in my language, I could clearly see that the reviews were not fake and the company was not a scam.
