CAUTION - Zanzibar or Mombasa:
If going to Zanzibar, Mombasa or Lamu (East Africa beach
towns), please be advised
that those two places are of Muslim majority, and long

that show much of your bodies, or skin-tight" clothes
unless you are at the beaches. Muslims are more often
offended by seeing skimpy dressing.
