Sea Cliff Hotel----Dar es Salaam

At the end of the project, when we left Chimala, we had to drive the 11 hours back to Dar es Salaam because that is the closest airport to Chimala. Even though it was a long drive, we enjoyed the scenery. We did not see as many animals as we passed through the wild life preserve, though, because there were intentionally set fires along the highway. The fires must have been set to burn back some of the elephant grass that grows so tall. The fires kept the animals further from the road than they were on our trip to Chimala a few weeks earlier.

In Dar, Bill and Cyndi took us to the Sea Cliff Hotel to shop in the gift shop. It was a really nice place with lots of quality items. There was very pretty jewelry, some of which had tanzanite stone, a blue stone that is only found in Tanzania. It was quite expensive, so we did not buy any. We did enjoy looking, though!





You can tell where the Sea Cliff Hotel got its name!
