Changuu Island

You can get here from nearby Zanzibar by a boat rented from local fishermen. The water and the beach around the island are amazing. 😳👍🏻 There is a...

Tangawizi Spice Farm
Spice store
👍👍 If you read the reviews you may think it's not worth going there because it's a tourist trap with tipping required for everything, not a real farm etc. - I was a bit worried about it too, but we enjoyed a tour very much. Yes, it's not a real farm - but the point is more educational here - you can s...

👍 The place is sweet and secluded from the busy street in Stone town where it is located. Service was good, attentive. The food was delicious, loved the naan bread, although even the non spicy foods were quite hot. Only vegetarian dishes available. Recommended.

Beach House Zanzibar
Fusion restaurant
👍👍 This place was recommended to me as a great spot to see the sunset and it does not disappoint. Unobscured views of the ocean and sunset, but also sitting above the beach where people walk by/chill/play football. Relatively new to the area, and so the place attracts a lot of people. But even at peak...
