GUSTO
Flavours of Tanzania
Ugali
Maize porridge served with almost everything, sustaining generations of herders.
Zanzibar spices
Clove, cinnamon and cardamom scent the stews of the Spice Island.
The great migration crosses the savannah as spices cross the Indian Ocean towards Zanzibar: two routes, one country. Eating nyama choma beside a fire while watching the horizon crossed by wildebeest is the other half of safari that no photograph can hold.
