A good place to learn about the Zanzibar locals

JAMBIANI A LAID-BACK OLD FISHING VILLAGE

Jambiani is a group of villages on the Tanzanian island of Unguja, part of Zanzibar on the southeast coast between Paje and Makunduchi. It has a strong seaweed culture with many farms dotting the coastline and employing 15,000 locals, mainly women. This is a good place to learn about the Zanzibar locals who are very kind here and always with smiley faces. This is a place where the men still bring in the early morning catch by dugout canoe and children play soccer on the beach until the tide swallows up the pitch. The beautiful beach is a 7 km long beach with white sands and swaying palms. Enquire at our reception how you can organize a day trip to this location.

Absolute Paradise & Friendly Staff My wife and I stayed at Five Palms Zanzibar on honey moon - we arrived to drinks on arrival, had our bags drop off at our room and when entering our room had a very romantic surprise of flowers on our bed and "Happy Honeymoon" written in palm leaves. We had an amazing private romantic beach dinner with drinks at the beach bar after making it an unforgettable experience! The staff are extremely helpful and accommodating which added to our 10 day trip. The hotel has a private tour guide who is extremely knowledgeable and really goes to extra lengths to make your day trip one to remember. Great value for money and highly recommendable. We will be back!
