Pongwe dhow fishing - It was a grat experience to go out with the Dhow and to fish with the handline. I even cough a few fish. The captain was helping me to get the baits on the hook and also threw the line out for me.

Zanzibar - The Beach and water, food was very good. The Massai natives are harassing. I am glad I went there however, I hope the government will control the Massai people on the beach

Fishing at Pongwe - The fishing trip was okay, we did catch quite some fish and the guides/fishermen were kind in their own way (their English was not too good, so all communication was rather short). There was no food/drinks provided, so luckily we brought our own water (it was during 11:00-14:00, so temperatures were at their highest and we were at open water). After this trip, the fishermen brought us back to the shore and gave us the fish we caught to be cooked into a dish (as mentioned in the ad). At this point, we still had no clue what would happen next - we figured we would be brought to some place to cook our fish, or someone would cook it for us. We were brought to a cab which then would bring us back to our own hotel. The driver, who was very kind, said that the kitchen there would prepare our fish for us. when arrived at the hotel, we walked to the executive chef to explain him the situation, which he clearly did not understand. However, he thanked us and walked into the kitchen with our fish, never to be seen again. All together, I would not recommend this trip. The fishing was nice, but the combination with the eating did not go well - probably due to bad organisation or miscommunication with the hotel. For this pricing (100$ per person), one would also expect to be provided with at least some bottles of water due to the timing of the day and the lack of shade at open water.
