...spots on the planet. Once the opulent palace of a wealthy Swahili trader, the hotel has just 10 rooms, but each one is exquisite: the North room features a large stone bath built into an open-air veranda with views across the city; the Crystal room houses two antique Zanzibari beds and a handblown glass chandelier.

Though Strongman Okello bellowed that he was the power behind the new government...
Disappearing Zanzibari. It was a close guess. The trek look a year and a half, much of it through an unexplored forest which rose "like a dark, dense colonnade." Pigmies assailed them and, according to Stanley's story, more than one Zanzibari "disappeared into the cooking pot." He also described butterflies flying overhead in clouds, "some taking hours to pass"; beetles boring into the tent poles and showering sawdust into the soup.
