    I worked in the first resort as Executive Housekeeper. It was a great resort with 35
    Villas consisting of 3 bedroom each... tennis court..Management Staff Housing and Junior staff housing with very expensive furniture. It's a very long story and we all staff were very sad when it closed down. It only operated for two years.....
    I am glad someone noticed this beautiful resort....

    Hi. Believe it or not, I am the owner of the resort which was built and owned together with a group of Danish investors +10 years ago. Indeed a very sad story and a depressing video to watch. But many thanks for sharing the video. Interesting to read your comments. I can guarantee you, that this was once one of the most beautiful places on earth, filled with tourists from all over the world, enjoying the hospitality of the Zanzibarian people and the exceptional view . It was destroyed by a corruptive local politicians and not by a hurricane. To be continued - there a still someone to account for this mess :)

    I can't expres how much I enjoy your adventures. I sub to many exploration channels, and yours is hands down my favorite. You don't bombard your audience with nonsense, or superstitious mumbo jumbo. You've clearly done your research before embarking on most of your adventures, which is great for your audience, as you're able to provide details and history that keeps me coming back.
    Also, you explore unique locations that I don't see covered on other channels.

    Ik was daar toen helft in de fik vloog (2017). Is eigendom van een Indiër. Zijn laatste redmiddel was het in de fik steken zodat verzekeringen iets zouden uitbetalen. Er wonen lokale gezinnen in en Masai bewaken het gebied (samen met wat koeien/stieren die vrij rondlopen). Wat verder op is ouderr: daar staat een oude hippie domein waar alle gebouwen zelf gemaakt zijn met wat lokale natuur hen bood. Daar woont er nog maar 1 man (en zen 10 katten).

      I was half there when it caught fire (2017). Is owned by an Indian. His last resort was to set it on fire so that insurance would pay out. Local families live in it and Masai guard the area (along with some cows / bulls that roam freely). A little further is older: there is an old hippie domain where all the buildings themselves were made with what local nature offered them. Only 1 man lives there (and 10 cats).
