This may be the first trip I returned home and I didn’t double my weight from the food we ate. Not to say I didn’t eat - I ate A LOT. But, the food was delicious, healthy and plentiful. The first meal I had in Tanzania started with a warm soup the evening we arrived. I have never tasted anything so amazing and that set the stage for every single soup I had while in Tanzania. Almost every single meal we had started with a soup and many of them were either vegetable or pumpkin. They contained the most incredible seasonings and I think they have Zanzibar to thank for that.
We were also treated with a beautiful morning which meant the staff set up breakfast outside in the morning sunshine. (Franny Friesz)
You might find cardamom (my favorite), nutmeg, cinnamon or some other non-conventional spice in their soups. I don’t think I’ll ever make soup the same way and I’ll always be searching for a recipe to try and replicate that rich, sweet depth of flavor and warm taste. Zanzibar was where we enjoyed a spice tour and saw the source of these incredible spices that I have taken for granted my entire life. It was amazing to see the plants that produced the spices and we walked through a maze of plants that gave us cardamom, hazelnut, trees with cinnamon bark, fruit trees for durian fruit, jackfruit, bananas, plants that were used to dye curry and so much more.
Best soup of my life. (Franny Friesz)
Every meal while on safari had a dish with the most delicious meat and was also well flavored. Coming from Montana, we were blown away by the fresh and local foods we ate. Nothing was processed, preserved, and it was all delicious!
Adventure Life has been great throughout my planning process for our up and coming Galapagos cruise. Kevin Moore, in particular, was very helpful in assisting me in making choices and providing me with options. He was also very patient, as I worked through figuring out what I really wanted in this vacation.

Mary Curry made the experience wonderful for the second time. She is the reason we returned to Adventure Life to book our second cruise on WindStar. She is tireless, well informed, pleasant to work with and totally reliable. If you offer employees bonuses, give her one! there who answered to phone to help us book shore excursions were also very good and easy to work with - and we demand rather an lot of help.
