Wasn't enjoying the middle east, so decided to venture into Africa. So far budget has been $1500 for two weeks including all flights, transfers, accomodation, food and day trips.
1) Kiwengwa, Zanzibar
2) Kiwengwa reef, Zanzibar
3) Lunch in Stone Town, Zanzibar before ferry to Dar Es Salaam
4) Danger Noodle, Victoria Falls
5) Victoria Falls
6) More Victoria Falls
7+) Elephants in Chobe Reserve, Botswana (day trip).
Despite mosquito bites and treading on a sea urchin, am loving Africa. People are friendly, food is amazing, weather magnificent and the sights, smells, and ambiance off the charts. Just a wonderful trip so far, and I am not even halfway into my planned journey.
