Making good its promises, the management of Adron Homes, ably led by Aare Emmanuel-King, has taken the winners of the Arena Champions contest to Tanzania, and the team is having a time of their lives.
On Friday, the Adron Homes 10 were spoilt to an exquisite tour of Nakupenda (if you have listened to Michael Jackson’s song, Liberian Girl, you will understand the magnificent attached to the city) and Stone Town, all in Zanzibar, Tanzania, were they had a time of their lives.
This, one more time goes to prove the importance Adron Homes attach not only to company and product growth, but also to capacity development, human growth and geography.
The Zanzibar experience has so far been a wonder to behold, most of the holiday makers have confirmed.
It’s imperative to note that Zanzibar is an island in the Indian Ocean, as well as a port city, with a well developed harbour. The island’s principal port and commercial centre, is located on the western side of the island behind a well-protected natural deepwater harbour.
Stone Town on the other hand is a world heritage site, a historic centre located in Zanzibar city.
Nakupenda, which means ‘I love you’, is a romantic island, located 8 kms or a 30-minute boat ride from Stone Town.
At low tide, one can see the sandbank while standing on the water’s edge. Its beautiful white sand shimmers in the middle of the blue waters. Nakupenda is a beauty to behold.
The tour continues
