Day Trip in Stone Town

Question

Hi All,

We are a family of 4 visiting from San Diego – kids are 13 and 11 . We are going to be visiting Zanzibar for 4 days after our Safari. We for sure want to check out Stone Town – would a day and a half be enough here?

We are a beach family and love the water -for the beach part of our trip which area would you recommend?

Thank you,

Sandra!

    Hello!

    Welcome to Tanzania/Zanzibar!
    Since you are only here for 4 days, I suggest that you spend one day in Stone Town. That will be enough to do the historical walking tour and a visit of prison island or a trip to a spice farm.
    In my opinion, the south east coast is the best on Zanzibar. It’s not as touristy as the north coast (Nungwi and Kendwa). If your kids want to do sports activities, Paje is the best choice.
    If you don’t mind to walk about 3 km on the beach to Paje, stay at Bwejuu. It’s much cheaper than Paje. My insider secret choice of accommodation is Mustapha’s Place in Bwejuu.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers
