Where should you drop your bags in Zanzibar?
It’s the most common question I get from travelers: "Mr. TOYO, should I stay in the historic city or on the northern beaches?"
The truth is, both are amazing, but they offer completely different rhythms for your soul. If you pick the wrong one, you might miss out on the exact Zanzibar experience you’ve been dreaming of.
You love getting lost in history. Stone Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with winding alleys, ancient heavy carved wooden doors, and aromatic spice markets.
You want the pristine "Postcard" Zanzibar. Nungwi, located at the very northern tip of the island, boasts some of the best beaches because the ocean is largely unaffected by the extreme tidal changes seen on the East Coast. You can swim all day!
Why choose just one? If you have 5 days or more on the island, split your stay! Spend your first 2 nights in a boutique hotel in Stone Town to absorb the rich culture and take a Spice Tour. Then, head north to Nungwi for the remaining days to enjoy total beachfront relaxation.
Don't stress over the details. Let a local expert handle your hotel transfers, excursions, and mainland safaris.
