Boutre à Zanzibar

On a postcard sent by friends, this stamp of Tanzania about the Beauty of Zanzibar, a twelve-stamp issue of June 2006.



The dhow sails near Matemwe, a village in the Northern part of Zanzibar island.

The card picture is a maasai festivity. Kenya is not the only country to have both Indian ocean and savanna landscapes.

Sole problem : no date cancellation. Has the dating stamp been forgotten at the mail sorting facility, or did an other card impeach the cancellation of this one in the machine ?
