Sunrise in the Archipelago of Zanzibar Island

There is nothing great while one is on vacation in a warm tropical island where the sun rises so earlier as the birds singing, palm trees dancing from the sea breeze and one smells the salty of the majestic Indian ocean sea water.

It can be once in a vacation or in a life of someone visiting the east coast of Africa and explore the nature of creation,here not only the sandy beaches which will attracted a visitor but also the quite sunrise is a very grateful moment of it's own and can not compared with other places around these world.
                                                                                 

What a wonderful scenic as the day break while villages starting there activities, it is a complete different world away from noisy busy big cities where such life is not noticed, right from a balcony of a hotel a person can notice the different kind of sunrise in some parts of these islands depending on the weather and even the hotel environment.

If it happened you are visiting these former slave market centre of Zanzibar and you booked yourself in a lodge or hotel close to villages then you are at advantage to experience the sunrise followed with some activities by the islanders, such activities as palm wine harvesting which is made only during the sunrise and sunset and it's great to see how they do it local right from your hotel room window, another activity is the fisherman's who are returning from the deep sea, they can been seen sailing back to the island shores at a quite distance along the horizon as the sun gradually ascending.

It is also a great time for personal activities like jogging or walking along the beach while expose one body to the early morning sunshine, most of tourist prefer to lay down on sun beds as they sun bath.
These is not only entertaining but also healthy to the body as the sun is also a source of vitamin D in the body and it is free only getting yourself expose to the sun for a while.
There many hotels and lodges around these island and for a photographer to one has a lot of magnificent scenes to shoot at from the villages to the old town streets during the sunrise moment.
Getting around Zanzibar it's easier and Swahili people who are the most indigenous are very friendly people to deal with, there is a international airport in the main island centre saved with international flights with links to neighbour countries cities like Nairobi in Kenya and Johannesburg in South Africa.
Also the language of communication is Swahili and majority of residence can click some few foreign languages as these is a tourist centre, for those coming through Dar es salaam there are ferry services providing service within the main Tanzania commercial hub and the islands.
