The ride out was gorgeous, out through Dar es Salaam Bay, even though approximately halfway out the engine died. Hakuna matata (no problem)! It only took the crew 15 minutes to fix the engine…
The island is a long, branch-shaped island, dotted with trees and fisherman who ride in rickety canoes just off its shores. The main attraction, undoubtedly, is a beach. Though very small in size, the beach on Bongoyo Island makes up for it with stunning views from the sand. Standing at the tip of the island, one can view a 300 degree vista of ocean and waves. Breathtaking sight!
Sticking out from the white sand, are hand-made umbrellas, here called Bandas. Lounge chairs made from sticks and woven with natural ropes. Typical beach experience, sun, surf, beer, food, and excitement when I reminded myself I’m on the Indian Ocean, not Atlantic or Pacific. And what a fabulous way to hit the ground running in Dar es Salaam. Looking forward to go home a happier and more relaxed individual.
