another gorgeous day another gorgeous spa i am going for a massage i'll talk to you in a bit
so i just had my massage and i'm all relaxed now let's talk mafia
so this island is the best kept secret of tanzania while zanzibar has become really really famous and
everyone wants to go there the footfall here for tourists is really really low and this place is
amazing for that reason it's very raw it's still very very natural the culture here is pristine
people are absolutely nice and friendly and this place is just stunning and don't forget you can
see whale sharks there whale sharks the biggest fish in the entire world it this place is intense
in terms of food there's not much in terms of restaurants here but most of the hotels
resorts have their own restaurants which are great so getting here is not that easy basically
you need to take a plane those small 14 seat planes where you can see what the pilot is doing
and you can see the plane landing and taking off with the pilot
those and there's only three airlines that fly at the moment um orac air coastal air and tropical
air you can check their schedules on skyscanner isn't this the cutest place this is what the
petrol pump looks like i love this place in terms of getting around it's quite easy all you need is
a tuk-tuk they call it bajaji here and you just need the number of the guy the first ride just
take their number and they will basically take you around it's an amazing way to travel here
and it's so convenient because island is really really small bonjour we are going to see some
whale sharks today it's my second attempt the first one was fairly wild and choppy so the
weather is really nice and calm today so really hope we can get to see some more and more peace
there is a lot of jellyfish in the sea so bring something to cover your legs if you're
planning on getting in the water which i don't think i will today look at that is gorgeous
that was the best start of day i've ever had in my life oh my god it's it's it's like half nine
and i feel like i've had an amazing day already so four sharks we swam with them it was just
incredible this one it just the biggest one it just came and it swam past and just brushed
past and oh it's just the most incredible feeling they're such magical creatures
i can't wait to see them again by the way be careful um we had a lot of jellyfish the
first time we did it the visibility was really poor and it was very choppy so weather plays a
huge huge part um in this today i got stung again by the jellyfish but i wasn't so bad
and it was only one thing so i'm gonna get some vinegar the guys here are really helpful for that
so we're going snorkeling today to the blue lagoon and to the chole island
and there's a sand bank because the tide is high
so we did our first dive in colombo island and this one is absolutely stunning down there there's
just so much beautiful coral and the one behind me ishamba i'm gonna go do some more snorkeling
this one behind me is the chole island this one is juani and we are going to the blue
during the low tide you have to cross the sand bank and then walk through
and in 10 minutes you will be at blue lagoon let's see how gorgeous it is
for the blue lagoon now look it's such a cute little spot just like hidden in the middle of
nowhere and be careful they have jellyfish they don't bite though
but they have these teeny tiny fish and they will bite you and they can be pretty brutal
i am bleeding from one of the bites so but they're really tiny like really really tiny
the last part of our day is to do a little tour of the village on chole island
and we walked through the village which basically had some old palaces and some buildings
and this is the part i really enjoy this is a fake tree which is absolutely massive but it actually
ate an entire world it drank an entire well so you see the thing the periphery of this thing
that's basically around the world wall i love this place this is so cool
i didn't know that but apparently the fig trees grow as parasites
so you can see behind me that's the freak tree outside and the baobab tree inside
bonjour is a day to explore more of this beautiful island
and i'm heading up north um to the lighthouse to some gorgeous beaches and possibly to see
some hippos and my tuk-tuk is almost here so i'm quite excited i hope you're too let's go
we just got here it took us about two hours um and our doctor broke down on the way so
we had to get it repaired but we are here and this is the lighthouse of rasmukumba
gonna go up but first we're going to the beach
so this is boheny beach which is next to the village of buena which is right behind me
and we are going to stop here for a few minutes before we get to kanga
it is quite full of seaweed so probably not the best beach but it's still a good stop to make
super hungry we're building a fire to grill our food
so i got a little board so hired a canoe and i'm heading to that island on the other side
it's a really small canoe and it can take only one person at a time so i'm quite excited let's go
because they're really small the canoes rock a lot
and since i don't do any swimming i'm a little scared
so i left this morning i thought i'll go have fun at a nice beach chill out you know
meet some people and relax on the beach and eat some good food freshly grilled when i got here
honestly i just don't have the words to describe how stunning this place is
this is kanga beach and there are so many shades of blue in every direction
and the weather is so great the water is so beautiful tanzania has done it again
i won't be beach without coconut water so i got some
so it's getting cooler which means it's the perfect time to see some hippos
no it was for us today unfortunately the hippos aren't playing ball
they are i mean we can hear them but we can't really see anything except for
the little bit i saw on my drone which is like a teeny tiny head
i am heading to the western beaches today and this is the first one
it has a lot of mangroves she is really far away so she's gonna chill here for a bed
and then getting to rasky zimani is not that straightforward we went completely off-road
and then we got to this bridge which is broken trying to get to the other side
so i got to ross kisimani beach um and then walked a little bit further until
i got to the village and got some food from these lovely ladies who were cooking there
and now i just woke up from a really nice lab and it's just the most incredible feeling like
having the entire beach to yourself and if you don't believe me look
not a soul around this is an incredible place
this right here this pier this bridge is the best place to watch the sunset over mafia look at that
