After the incredible dry season dust and rutted roads of the mainland, Zanzibar welcomed us with the sound of waves and the scent of salt in the air. We spent three days at the Beaches resort, easing into a slower pace after the intensity of the bush. A heavy rainstorm had swept through the area the day before we arrived, flooding parts of Stonetown and sadly, washing out our plans to explore it. But the island offered other gifts.

The beach stretched wide and white beneath a shifting sky, where sun and cloud took turns casting light over the water. We walked barefoot along the shoreline, watched dhows drift across the horizon, and stood in the tide as it pulled softly around our ankles, the world feeling a little quieter with each step.

There was time to linger over meals and drinks, and to let go of the sense of jeep motion that had carried us across the Serengeti, the crater, and the camps. Zanzibar gave us time to decompress and reflect on our amazing Tanzania adventure.
