Tanzanian Travels - White Sands

On our flight with Air Uganda from Entebbe to Dar Es Salaam we made a quick stop in Kilimanjaro to pick up more passengers. This is a view of Mount Kiliminjaro from the plane. (its the furtherest away mountain in the photo)


Our early rise of 4am took its toll as you can see. This is J and Z finally giving in to tiredness on the taxi ride from Dar Es Salaam airport to White Sands Hotel.

A windy afternoon on the beach at White Sands


Waterworld next to our hotel. The kids loved all the slides.




Me on one of the slides at waterworld...felt like a kid again :)




Joshua our little fish....



and Zara our second little fish...



Simon and Zara enjoying the waves of the Indian Ocean


The Wunderli blog has been quiet for the past couple of weeks or so and the reason for this is that we were in Tanzania. We were able to take some time off and go to Tanzania for 10 days. It truly was a blessing from the Lord!!! The first 5 days we stayed in a hotel on the beach called White Sands just north of Dar es Salaam. The second 5 days we headed further north to a place called Lazy Lagoon (just what we needed...to be lazy!!!). There are 10 bandas (little round houses) on a penisula that you travel to by boat. It was like being on a tropical island and so quiet. The kids loved it. We were able to meet up with some friends of ours from the MAF Tanzania programme. They have three children so Joshua and Zara had a blast. The photos above will do more justice than I can put into words so enjoy them.
The Lazy Lagoon photos will follow in time. It took me two hours just to put these on due to a slow internet connection :(
