I topped off my safari in Kenya and Tanzania with 5 days of bliss on the gorgeous island of Zanzibar, which was the most perfect way to end the holiday. My safari was absolutely incredible but after camping for 11 days and getting up at about 5am for early morning game drives, I was ready for some serious r&r and a nice comfy bed!
I stayed in Nungwi on the north coast of Zanzibar which is really laid back, with a stunning beach and a handful of cool beach bars. My favorite haunt was Cinnamon Cocktail Bar, the food and cocktails are to die for and it’s the best place to watch the sunset. The craft markets in Nungwi are perfect for souvenir shopping and it’s a top spot for diving and snorkelling, although watch out for the jellyfish!

About Clare Bailey
Clare joined the on the go team 3 years ago as Product Manager. After backpacking around the world for a year, she developed the debilitating and life changing travel bug. Symptoms of this disease include the uncontrollable urge to jump on planes (but not ones without seat back tvs!), bleeding money due to giving in to said urges, lethargy to all things UK based and severly itchy feet. In order to cope with the bug, she fell (somewhat unexpectedly) into the travel industry and has never looked back.
Having travelled extensively Clare is never happy unless she is planning her next global adventure, the world is there to be discovered and discover it, she will! Of course having a job which requires her to travel a lot certainly helps!
What Clare loves most about travelling is not only visiting places of incredible natural beauty but watching everyday life in countries where the culture, traditions and social norms are so far removed from our own. Travel can be exhausting in itself though and a sneaky lazy week on a beach to unwind from all the adventure, never goes amiss!
