Our guide Juma was great with communication on WhatsApp making our connecting at the meeting point seamless.
We started with a walk through the Old Fort. Then enjoyed rooftop drinks with a sunset pic. This time allowed us to ask our guide questions. We love food, and when Juma told us his history as a chef for several years we asked about his favorite local dishes and how to cook them.
Later we made our way to the bustling night food market. Juma constructed a menu of unique local food from vendors carefully chosen for good taste and high food hygiene standards.
We had amazing courses for trying new foods like a favorite local soup filled with delicious ingredients, Zanzibar pizza, and delicious fresh chicken shawarmas. We topped it off with refreshing hand-pressed sugarcane juice, with lime and ginger flavor. Our bellies were happy and full then we went back to get our son the ice cream rolls.
