Our wonderful African adventure
We spent (two adults and one child aged 12) a month in Choba Bay Villa. This was our first African experience. We have repeatedly rented a house in isolated locations (Costa Rica, Philippines, El Salvador). Choba Bay corresponds to this desire to be away from the noise of the city.
The owner has arranged our arrival in Dar Es Salaam as well as our transportation to Choba Bay (5 hours). This overland travel has enabled us to take the pulse of this great country.
Once at the villa, we discovered an absolutely amazing team. Everyone, without exception, was incredibly kind ... round the clock, 7 days on 7. So no worries. The staff is undoubtedly the key success of our trip. We really miss them.
Settling in Choba Bay was a very good approach to Tanzania, although the distances are great. The nearest village (15 minutes drive), Pangani, allowed us to get some basics things (drinks, internet) but it must go 1h30 to go to Tanga offering more services (banks, super market).
The house was at the height of our expectations. The beach, which is not visible from the house and rocky, was a small limit with our 12 years old boy.
Tanzania is a fabulous country. Besides the safaris (expensive) we stay on our appetite because we would spend a lot more time to discover other regions.
A big thank you to everyone for this wonderful trip.
