Awesome pics. The ones of the Leopards are amazing!

Yeah, Zanzibar was alright. It had really nice beaches in parts but I wasn't too impressed with Stone Town. Very touristy compared to the rest of the country but I think it's saving grace was it had the best food in Tanzania (not saying much tho)

Anyways, here's some food/beach/resort porn

Part 3: Zanzibar

Street Food Market was pretty cool. Massive tables of seafood/meat skewers as far as the eye can see. The unique thing about this place was that you had to bargain for your food which I've never done anywhere else before. They would ask for a ridiculous price of $15/skewer and settle for like $5. I tried one of the Tandoori Lobster meat ones in the foreground. Pretty good and filling I must say!

Sundowner drinks at one of the many rooftop bars in Stone Town

Resort we stayed at in Jambiani Beach

Jambiani Beach

Took a snorkeling excursion which was pretty disappointing except for this stop at a sand island with it's idyllic waters.

Local fisherman with his octopus catch

Perhaps octo ended up here? The Rock restaurant, which required a boat to get to during evening high tide. Considered high end but managed to eat a whole grilled lobster here for $36 USD
