Adventure Awaits
Exploring Tanzania
Coastal cities, island life, and experiences that feel completely different from one another
Tanzania surprised us with how varied it feels from place to place.
From the energy and movement of Dar es Salaam to the winding streets and ocean views of Zanzibar, every stop felt different while still carrying that distinct East Africa feeling we’ve grown to love.
Some trips are big adventures. Others are slower and more ordinary in the best way.
This page brings together the places we’ve explored across Tanzania.

Exploring Zanzibar With Kids
White sand beaches, turquoise water, the historic charm of Stone Town…
For as long as I can remember, Zanzibar has been one of those places I’ve always dreamed about visiting. It always felt like one of those “someday” destinations.
And last year, that “someday” finally became real when we got to visit Zanzibar for the very first time. It was short. It was a bit chaotic. It was absolutely unforgettable.
Exploring Dar Es Salaam With Kids (Coming Soon)
Bustling coastal energy, Indian Ocean breezes, the hum of everyday life blending with Swahili culture…
Dar es Salaam has always felt like one of those places that’s more than just a layover stop— but for a long time, it was simply “on the way” to somewhere else. But last year, we finally got to experience Dar for the first time. It was short. It was a little chaotic. It was full of movement, noise, color — and completely unforgettable.
