Harvesting seaweed at low tide in Pongwe.
No safari trip to Tanzania is complete without a short hop to Zanzibar and the great beaches to relax. I actually proposed to my wife on this beach - not sure how useful this information is to fellow travellers, but holds a lot of memories for me... #lifeatexpedia #beach #nature
