East African Adventures

Alex is a scientist and Charlie is a theatre-maker. We're from London, UK, and we went on a 6-month adventure through East Africa, taking in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania, in 2017-18.

#ByeBeaches! My final #EastAfricanAdventures post. Six months, four countries, seven types of primate, beaches, mountains and rainforests, coconuts, mangos and passion fruit. All with my best friend.

Seeing #Kilimanjaro from above the #clouds was always going to be exciting, but flying past it like this just three weeks after I was standing at its #summit really gave me #allthefeels. . . . . . #MountKilimanjaro #skyhigh #aeroplaneview #mountain #mistymountain #travel #discover #adventure #explore #backpacking #instatravel #travelphoto #traveldiaries #wanderlust #lonelyplanet #aroundtheworld #environment #natgeo #Tanzania #EastAfrica #EastAfricanAdventures (at Kilimanjaro National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxFVEf3FFkP/?igshid=8y6nmqwaggvh

One huge block of beautiful #Tanzanite. This incredible #stone is only found under 14km sq of land around #MountKilimanjaro. As my sister is a #jeweller, we had to visit the museum and learn more about the #gemstone process. . . . . . #museum #chemistry #geology #gemology #Tiffanys #theculturetrip #travel #discover #exploremore #backpacking #instatravel #travelgram #traveldiaries #lptravel #environment #aroundtheworld #Arusha #Tanzania #EastAfrica #TravelAfrica #Africa #EastAfricanAdventures (at The Tanzanite Experience) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw886Q1FHLR/?igshid=ohzljqcj80cf

One more #hammock pic for good measure. So so close to the end of my #EastAfrica #backpacking uploads.

Jambiani #seaweed farm. A vital part of the local economy. To be sold to the Chinese and others in East Asia, for #cosmetics, herbal #medicines and the #silk-making process. . . . . #theculturetrip #locallife #ocean #indianocean #travel #discover #exploremore #backpacking #instatravel #travelgram #traveldiaries #lptravel #environment #aroundtheworld #Zanzibar #Tanzania #EastAfrica #TravelAfrica #Africa #EastAfricanAdventures (at Jambiani Beach, Zanzibar) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwluLG0lhd3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iwpfwa52s2kj

“I’m not allowed to date unless you’re hot.” We guessed this elderly gent picked up this rather incongruous #Abercrombie T-shirt at a #secondhand market. He asked if we wanted to buy a plot of land for sale on the #beachfront.

I don’t know how long these #boats have had this design, or how #seaworthy they are, but they do look romantic with their wings. . . . . . #fishingboats #sea #ocean #lowtide #locallife #indianocean #travel #discover #exploremore #backpacking #instatravel #travelgram #traveldiaries #lptravel #environment #aroundtheworld #Jambiani #Zanzibar #Tanzania #EastAfrica #TravelAfrica #Africa #EastAfricanAdventures (at Jambiani Beach, Zanzibar) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwY3ZIVlsNv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kcqkxmvwozb6
