I'm happy to announce a new travel and tour company, focusing exclusively on East Africa. Everlast Tours & Safaris offers guided adventures around Zanzibar such as Stone Town, the famous Spice Tour and Prison Island, as well as various water adventures (scuba diving, snorkelling, fishing, etc.). As part of a vacation holiday or honeymoon package, Everlast Tours also provides safari tours throughout Tanzania, including the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and excursions up Mount Kilimanjaro.

Here's an in-depth look at the social, economic and health situation in Pemba Island in Zanzibar, Tanzania. It's quite a revealing insight into how the citizens of Zanzibar are treated by the government, especially regarding medical care. For all the natural beauty in this area, from the white sands of the Indian Ocean to the Serengeti further inland, I do wish the Tanzanian and Zanzibar governments were able to better look after the people. Although I never visited Pemba myself, certainly our experience in Zanzibar was quite isolated from what the local population endures on a daily basis; so in many ways I am equally guilty in spending my tourist dollars on sight seeing rather than volunteering or donating to other causes in the region.

Here's a nice 6-minute video of the indigenous Red Colobus Monkey in Zanzibar, Tanzania on the East Coast of Africa. When we visited Zanzibar last year, these monkeys in Jozani Forest was one of our highlights - they are very comfortable with people and cameras, and like to run around, play and even sleep right in front of you.

Produced by the Zanzibar Association of Tourism Investors, this is quite an excellent and compelling look at this island off the east coast of Tanzania. There's a great deal of historical and cultural information and does quite a good job at selling the region!

这是关于坦桑尼亚桑吉巴尔一个采椰子者的简短录像。首先，他爬上树，用刀砍下椰子；然后切开落在地下的椰子，椰汁当水喝。看来十分有趣。我们去年参加趣味旅行团曾经试过，连讨厌椰子的伊丽莎白也喜喝它新鲜、清爽和甜的椰汁。
