Choosing a coast

Which side of Zanzibar suits you?

  • Nungwi & Kendwa (north) — swimmable at all tides, nightlife, sunsets.
  • Matemwe & Pwani Mchangani (north-east) — quiet, Mnemba diving on your doorstep.
  • Paje & Jambiani (south-east) — kitesurfing, laid-back bars, big tides.
  • Stone Town (west) — history, restaurants, best base for day tours.
