Hi yes, me too question for experinece on Bagamoyo:
--
Bagamoyo any good vs Zanzibar?
My father and I lived/worked in Tanzania back in 1985-88 (Arusha). Did all the things then that I guess one has to do (Mombasa, Zanzibar, Mafia, Dar-"beaches", the nat.parks, hunting, fishing etc) but now would like to go back just as toursist with our respectives, who have not seen East-Africa. We're thinking of the, i recon, usual 1 week national parks tours (i must say, it seems to have grown VERY expensive these days?!) followed by 1 w of seaside stay.
So what do you think, any good to go to Bagamoyo? We haven't been there before at all.
Go directly to Zanzibar from the northern parks? Via Bagamoyo to Zanzibar?
Our initial thoughts were to hire a car to do the park tour and drive down to Bagamoyo or Dar to further catch the fery to Zanzibar. However it seems cheaper to actually pay for a driver on an arranged tour (in the parks). Is this so?
Comments?
Cheers,
Anders
