A zebu and the low tide effect in Zanzibar #LifeAtExpedia
I've visited Zanzibar in February this year to catch up on the sun (living in the UK is not best for sunbathing... ;)) The minute I stepped on the beach, I fell in love with that place!!! I would highly recommend it if you are looking for quiet, not too touristy but friendly place. #LifeAtExpedia
