Zanzibar is a country located in East Africa. It is made up of the islands of Unguja and Pemba. Unguja is the main island and is where the capital city, Stone Town, is located. Zanzibar is known for its spice trade, beaches, and coral reefs.
When travelling to Zanzibar, there are a few options for accommodation. You can stay in a hotel, guesthouse, campground, or rent a house or apartment. Hotels are the most expensive option, but they offer many amenities, such as a pool, restaurant, and bar. Guesthouses are a bit cheaper than hotels, and usually offer basic amenities, such as a bed, fan, and mosquito net. Campgrounds are the cheapest option, but they can be quite basic, with limited facilities. If you are looking for some privacy and comfort, renting a house or apartment may be a good option.
There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing where to stay in Zanzibar. The main island, Unguja, is hilly, so if you are looking for a place to stay with a view, it is best to stay on the north or east coast. The beaches on Unguja are also not as nice as the beaches on Pemba, so if you are looking for a beach holiday, Pemba is a better option. There are also more options for nightlife and restaurants on Unguja than on Pemba.
Overall, there are a few things to consider when choosing where to stay in Zanzibar. If you are looking for a relaxing beach holiday, Pemba is a better option. If you are looking for creature comforts, a pool, and a wider range of restaurants and nightlife, Unguja is a better option.
