From fresh seafood to Zanzibari Pizza while washing the meal down with freshly squeezed sugarcane and lime juice, creating an authentic Zanzibar dining experience.
Tranquil days in Kiwengwa
After spending some time in Stone Town, Rob said he visited the village of Kiwengwa on the island’s east coast and enjoyed the tranquillity of a one-bedroom apartment with a private pool surrounded by palm trees.
